With spring on the way, many Manitobans are beginning to think about their gardening plans, and the city’s greenhouses have them covered.
Shelmerdine Garden Center, Sage Garden Greenhouses and Ron Paul Garden Centre are three of these businesses that are currently ramping up for the spring growing season. While these greenhouses operate at different scales with varying specialties, they all find themselves in the same state of rapid preparation. Seeds are planted, cuttings are misted, and trays of flowers are laid out en masse.
Winnipeg has no shortage of retail greenhouses – Ron Paul Garden Centre and Sage Garden Greenhouses are two of five such businesses within a four-kilometre stretch on St. Mary’s Road, just south of the Perimeter Highway, fostering some friendly competition.
Between these three greenhouses, as well as the others throughout the city, there’s bound to be something for every green-thumbed Winnipegger this spring.
