Canar Landscape Supplies A company in Edmonton, Alberta that can ship across Alberta and has shipped across the country to the Maritimes. They specialize in gravels, rocks, pavers, and retaining wall blocks. What is also important is that they update there product lines and are continually adding new products from Canada and overseas. Their links section brings you to some of the major suppliers as well.

 

Expocrete This is a major producer of brick and retaining wall blocks. They have an amazing site with pictures and dimensions of what they produce. They do not sell to homeowners. But their products are sold by all major retailers across the prairies and into British Columbia

 

Westcon Precast is an excellent producer of innovative cement products. They are positioning themselves in the higher end products with high quality and naturalistic designs. Many of their products are available at Canar and other Landscape suppliers. When designing brick or block patios I generally have their products in mind.

 

North Edmonton Landscape supplies is one of my favourite gravel and soil supply houses. They are the only place that I would buy my soil from and they truly have the best Garden Soil mixes available.

I can Garden Website Probably one of the larger websites devoted to gardening in Canada let alone on the prairies. Filled with information about organizations, pictures, events and, of course, gardens and gardening.

   

Greenland Garden Centre (Sherwood Park) This nursery has a huge collection of perennials and exotic trees and shrubs. In the last couple of years their display house changes through the season with a huge Christmas and spring display.

 

Holes Greenhouse (St. Albert) Not a great site. It is mainly set up for on-line shopping. But Holes is the largest greenhouse for the retail market. If you are looking for the rarest anything you will generally find it at Holes. There baskets, and plant material in general, are spectacular just don't forget the credit cards though.

 

The Edmonton Horticulture Society The society has around ten meetings each year that cover all kinds of topics. They have an informative publication as well as numerous events through out the year.
