Gardening on "The Rock" requires more than just soil and water—it takes experience. Our success is built on the dedication of our team. From seasonal specialists to long-time employees, everyone plays a vital role in ensuring our plants, and our business, thrives.
Rooted in Newfoundland since 1990.
From our first seedlings in 1990 to the vibrant gardens of today, our family has always been committed to providing premium, climate-hardy plans to our community. We're proud to build on that passion and be a staple in local gardens and communities.
