It is in 1962 that Mr. Jean-Claude Paquette acquired
Abbotsford Nursery in which he leads successfully. Later
his two sons joined the venture to make it a family operated
business.In recent years the heading trio consists of Jean-Claude,
his son Pierre who manages wholesale with production and Pierre
Choquette who occupies administrative and the retail division.

Since four decades, Abbotsford Nursery specializes in the
production of trees, shrubs conifers grown in both field and
container. In all we can count 1200 varieties but recently
we added a wide range of roses as well as hundreds of perennials.
Presently of the 65 hectares of land, 45 hectares are designated
for field production and the remaining 20 hectares is for
500,000 plants container grown.

For such a large scale production it is obvious that a small
family cannot supply the demand of all Quebec , Ontario and
the north eastern part of the United states, therefore during
peak season Abbotsford Nusery is bustling with 150
experienced employees.





Whether you are a nursery owner, a landscape architect, a
horticulturalist working for a municipality or a golf cousre ,rest
assured that Abbotsford Nusery can meet the most demanding
requirements in plants. You can find all your gardening needs
at one place during april through november.

We take pride to meet the needs of our customers demands
by the quality of vegetation.that we produce. We carry an impresive
quality of caliber trees at competitve prices. It is of utmost
importance to our company leaders that we remain competitive
and that we reach the goal of excellence in our day to day production.
Abbotsford Nursery has been a prime leader in the industry of
horticulture due to the qualified personnel to reach for the top.
It is no wonder that the Nursery has been recognized and awarded
repetitively for its standards of excellence by receiving
The Agricultural Merit Award in 2000.

The acquired 44 years experience of production and sales of
vegetation has given Abbotsford Nusery the knowledge of the new
tendecies of the horticultural market and to remain a step ahead.





Concerned about innovation in a more and more competitive world,
Abbotsford Nursery offers other quality products to its existing wide
range of vegetation. Last but not least the Nusery is also distributor of both
plastic and fiber pots for plant production.

Abbotsford nursery is very well implicated with its educational role
towards horticultural schools whom are invited yearly to attend guided
tours of the premises. The general public is also invited to an open house
in order to share the knowledge and passion of horticulture alive for
generations to come.
