Canadale Nurseries

Canadale Nurseries Canadale is a family-owned, award-winning garden centre and your local gardening experts since 1955. The Canadale story begins with Bill and Joan Intven.
(295)

Bill Intven and Joan Somers were both born in Brabant, Holland. Bill was a civil engineer and Joan's family owned a grocery and hardware store. After their marriage and family beginnings, Bill and Joan emigrated to Canada with their shared dream of owning their own nursery. In 1955 their dream became more tangible when they purchased a tobacco farm in St. Thomas, Ontario. Out of respect for their new country, Bill and Joan named their business Canadale and began selling stock out of a wheelbarrow along the highway. A loyal following soon grew and the business continued to thrive through the 60's and 70's. In 1977, Bill and Joan's son, Tom, graduated with a degree from Queen's University and quickly jumped into the family business full-time. Shortly after in 1984, Bill and Joan's daughter, Pauline, graduated with 2 degrees from the University of Western Ontario and began managing Canadale's garden centre. Several of Bill and Joan's grandchildren have worked at the garden centre and nursery over the years, including their granddaughter Kate, who continues to work full-time supervising in the garden centre. Sadly, Bill passed away in 2002 and Joan passed away in 2015, but their vision of growing Canadale into the best nursery possible is still very much alive. Since the humble beginnings of Canadale Nurseries, there have been many new 'family members' added through our long-time dedicated staff, including Connie, Jim & Lesley, which has allowed Canadale to continue to grow and evolve.

As we gather with loved ones this Thanksgiving, our hearts are filled with gratitude.

As we look ahead to our final gardening season in 2027, this Thanksgiving feels especially meaningful. For 71 years, Canadale has been more than just a garden centre.

To our loyal customers, dedicated staff, trusted suppliers, wonderful community, and the families who have supported us along the way — thank you. Your kindness, loyalty, and friendship have meant more to us than words can express.
