In 1998 Statistics Canada reported 65 greenhouse operations with 395,000 square feet of greenhouse space in production. The main crops grown are ornamental bedding plants, potted plants and vegetable transplants.
Opportunities maintain our share of the bedding plant and vegetable transplants market.
Bedding plants imported into the province the past number of years are putting a downward pressure on the prices of locally grown plants and are beginning to take some share of the low end market. To maintain our market share, we need to provide better quality plants, reduce production costs and provide better customer service. For further information contact your local agriculture office .
