Our Story

Proudly Serving St. Thomas and Surrounding Area

Canadale Nurseries has a rich history that began with a dream. In 1950, Bill and Joan Intven sailed across the Atlantic with just $300 and a year’s supply of food and clothing to start a new life in Canada. Bill’s dream was to own his own nursery, inspired by his mother’s teachings in her garden in Holland.

After spending a year at the largest nursery in Canada and working a factory job to support his family, Bill spent his spare time preparing for the day when he could have his own nursery.

Today, our garden centre is a testament to Bill and Joan’s hard work and dedication, and we’re proud to carry on their legacy by providing high-quality plants and gardening supplies to our customers.
