Do you know someone who loves sewing, singing or birding? Some cards have it all!

Our shop has become the go-to spot for greeting cards. If you're looking for a card that is witty, gentle, caring, artistic, punny, funny, inclusive, silly, quill-y, welcoming, consoling, celebrating or just simply beautiful...

Watercolours, photography, pencil sketches...you name the style and occasion and we can help you find something lovely.

Our card makers work in studios located in Peterborough and the Kawarthas, Northumberland county, provinces across Canada and a few from Europe and beyond.

In our latest episode, Brenda shares more about our cards.

In our September blog, we feature Port Hope watercolour artist, Cori Lee Marvin, whose cards "Singers" and "The Blues" are featured in this post.

You'll find the Garden Gate video on the Blog tab of our website.
