Winter Markets
Join us for a Winter Market every Sunday: 11 am – 3 pm, January 25 – March 22, 2026.
Explore our indoor marketplace featuring local makers, bakers, and a curated selection of artisans from the Guelph area.
Hosted inside our large greenhouse, this market is the perfect getaway to escape winter for a few hours while supporting local small businesses and discovering delicious and unique items. No matter the weather, you can enjoy a cozy Sunday afternoon at Royal City Nursery.

We also have a variety of seeds, seed-starting essentials, gardening tools, and new arrivals of tropicals & houseplants for you to take home.
