Description
We are a family owned landscape maintenance and nursery situated 10 minutes from Kamloops. We enjoy the quietness of the country while being only minutes away from downtown Kamloops. Our nursery specializes in annuals and vegetable plants and hanging baskets. These are grown in our greenhouses then sold wholesale to retail outlets and to customers who come to visit our operation. The season for the nursery is from mid-February to June 1st. The landscape operation is seasonal as well, running from March 1st to October 31. We specialize in landscape maintenance which is from mowing grass, pruning, to irrigation repairs and is mostly stratas and commercial buildings. For our nursery we will need employees from March to mid May and the Landscaping from March to June and this could be extended.
