Join us at Evergreen Brick Works as we embark upon a new season!

Join us on Saturdays at Evergreen Brick Works as we celebrate the winter season at the Saturday Farmers Market, the Evergreen Garden Market and Weekend Nature Play in the Children’s Garden.

Winter Wonderland at the Evergreen Garden Market

Join us at the Garden Market for cozy Winter Wonderland vibes all of December! Grab a hot chocolate at Picnic Café and come on over to enjoy the festive atmosphere. Wander through the rows of Christmas trees or stroll through the aisles of local handmade goods and pick out something special.

When you make a purchase at the Garden Market, you’re selecting a gift that gives twice. The Garden Market is a social enterprise that supports local vendors and directs 100% of its proceeds back to supporting Evergreen’s mission of transforming public spaces in our cities to build a healthier future for people and our planet.

Annual Christmas Tree Sale (November 18 to December 31):

Tis’ the season for the Evergreen Garden Market’s Annual Christmas Tree Sale! Loads and loads of Christmas trees have arrived and our nursery is now filled with the amazing aromas of Fir and Pine! We have a variety of types and sizes of trees available including Scotch Pine, White Pine, Balsam Fir, Fraser Fir, and Snow Tip Fraser. We’re also carrying mini trees, wreaths, table centrepieces, garlands, and more — there’s something for everyone.

Embrace the festive season at the Saturday Farmers Market

As the festive season approaches, one of the most delightful places to visit is undoubtedly the indoor Saturday Farmers Market at Evergreen Brick Works. While farmers markets are a treasure trove of fresh produce and local goods throughout the year, they take on an extra charm this season.

Choosing to shop at the farmers market during this season is not just about finding unique gifts or fresh produce; it’s about supporting local businesses and farmers. By purchasing directly from these vendors, you contribute to a more sustainable and community-oriented way of celebrating this time of year.

You’ll often find an assortment of delightful treats that embrace the festive spirit and showcase seasonal flavours. Some of the treats available at the Saturday Farmers Market during this time of year include:

• Seasonal fruits, vegetables, and herbs: A variety of fresh produce that is perfect for family dinners such as carrots, parsnips, turnips, beets, radishes, butternut squash, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, brussel sprouts, apples, pears, rosemary, sage, thyme and so much more.
• Artisanal cheese and charcuterie: A variety of seasonal cheeses, especially those flavoured with herbs or fruits, along with charcuterie like spiced sausages or cured meats, can be found for those putting together festive cheese boards.
• Seasonal jams, preserves, and honey: Locally produced jams and preserves made from winter fruits like cranberries, oranges, or pears as well as artisanal honey with infused flavours like cinnamon or ginger.
• Festive bread and pastries: Artisanal bread, including sourdough, whole grain loaves, French baguettes, flaky and buttery croissants as well as assorted pastries filled with fruits, nuts, or cream cheese, pies, muffins, scones, cookies and biscotti. Some vendors specialize in gluten-free or vegan baked goods too!
• Unique and handcrafted gifts: You’ll find unique and handcrafted gifts that make perfect presents for loved ones. From handmade candles to beautifully knitted scarves, each item tells a story of craftsmanship and care, making them thoughtful and meaningful gifts.
