The Garden of Apologies started off in Burlington in 2014 and we relocated to Mapleton in 2017 to get more growing area.

Over the last several years I've grown 100+ varieties of peppers, and the Garden has expanded from dozens to thousands of plants. The 2022 grow list has 2000+ plants of 60+ varieties! I grow primarily to support Sorry Sauce, but I also grow unique and unusual peppers just for the sake of growing them.

The Garden uses organic practices with compost, landscape fabric and hand tools rather than chemicals, pesticides and machines to keep it all natural and low carbon, and we use our solar power and captured rainwater wherever possible. 

In 2021, I did a few talks about pepper growing both through Zoom and in person, and I was honoured to have my peppers included in the League of Fire Americas Belt Match on September 4 in Ottawa, ON. 

In January 2022, The Garden of Apologies became a separate business, so starting this year, we'll have organic pepper, tomato and ground cherry seedlings available during the spring as well as fresh pepper pods all summer.
