This is a fabulous store! Very knowledgable staff to steer you in the right direction. Lots of Eco choices. If you're looking for a beautiful plant, go here to choose the right product for the location, and pick out a decorative pot at the store of your choice.

Friendly and very obliging staff. Great selection of plants nicely arranged in a logical sequence so that it is easy to find the different types.

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.
