Jeffries Nurseries is planning the process of closing the retail division of our company. Our public location on Highway 1, six miles east of Portage, suited the operation of a Garden Centre and enabled the gardening public to deal directly with a grower. Our business had largely started out as a retail location but over the years has changed to be a grower and supplier to independent garden centres, landscapers, cities and other growers. While retail business was once over 50% of company sales it now is less than 3%. Our company's sales are now Canada wide but mostly in prairie Canada with a small part of production going to the northern U.S. Gardeners
will still be able to find our product at local and area garden centres
under the Northern Garden Collection label. Our
family would like to thank all of you who have supported us through the
past years of both floods and good fortune. From our household to yours,
God bless you, as we seek to return to a more normal lifestyle without
the current pandemic, which to a greater or lesser extent has affected
us all. March 5, 2021 |
