Your Ultimate Muskoka Day Trip: A World of Wonder Awaits, Just a Short Drive from the GTA!
HUNTSVILLE, ON — July 2025
This summer, escape the city and discover the most magical destination in Muskoka. Sandhill Nursery invites you and your family to experience our spectacular Glimmer Globes and Umbrella Canopy, a breathtaking event running from July 11 to September 1, 2025. Perfectly located for a memorable day trip from the Greater Toronto Area, Sandhill is so much more than a garden centre—it’s an unforgettable experience waiting to happen.
As you arrive, you’ll step into a world of pure imagination. Stroll beneath a vibrant canopy of colourful umbrellas suspended in the forest air, creating a whimsical pathway of shifting light and shadow. Throughout our lush grounds, you’ll discover giant, otherworldly Glimmer Globes that reflect the stunning Muskoka landscape in iridescent hues. These enchanting installations create picture-perfect moments at every turn, making it the ideal backdrop for your family’s summer memories.
A Feast for the Senses at The Rusty Rake
A true destination feeds the soul and the appetite. After exploring the grounds, treat yourself to a culinary delight at our on-site eatery, The Rusty Rake. We are passionate about providing amazingly fresh and locally curated meals with a health-conscious menu that caters to the whole family. From vibrant salads and hearty sandwiches to our exciting new addition—Rusty Rake Pizza!—every dish is crafted with care and the finest local ingredients. It’s the perfect place to relax, recharge, and refuel in a beautiful garden setting.
