Review from Vincent P.
Kitchener, ON
This is Kitchener's local Sheridan Nurseries location. The store is quite large and has a great selection of plants and garden supplies.
When my wife and I were looking for a specific rose bush, we were able to find it here where we were not able to find it anywhere else. This was also the place I was able to find a Bloomerang lilac when they were sold out everywhere else (wow that seems so long ago). The store can be a bit pricier than the other big box competition, but I am happy that I can find someone to help me here when I have questions or concerns.
Specialties
Today Sheridan Nurseries operates nine modern garden centres in the GTA and KW areas, selling not only hardy ornamental plants but annuals, house plants, garden supplies, furniture, home décor and giftware along with an extensive array of real and artificial Christmas trees and decorations.
History
Established in 1913
An ad in a British journal soon brought a young Swedish born nurseryman, Herman Stensson and his wife and four young sons to Canada to establish this new nursery in the spring of 1914. A daughter, Betty born in Canada a few years later, completed the family.
Sheridan Nurseries brought the first Boxwood into Ontario from Korea and the first Japanese Yew seed from Japan in the 1920's. After WW II an extensive program of plant selection started with the release of the Mountbatten Juniper, the Sheridan Hybrid Boxwoods, the Ivory Silk Tree Lilac and many other plant selections.
Herman Stensson died in 1938 and his oldest son J.V (Bill) Stensson took over as nursery manager. His three brother's Fred, Chris and Howard and a sister Betty all worked for most of their careers for Sheridan Nurseries. Today three of Herman's grandchildren are actively involved in the business. Bill Stensson, is the CEO, Karl Stensson, is President and Karen Gazely, is the Nursery Sales Rep for Atlantic Canada.
