Highlighting our GROW Program Verified Employers as seen from the Web
In 2006, Connon Nurseries celebrated its 100 years in horticulture.
Founded by John Connon in Hamilton, Ontario, the company has seen many ups and downs over the last 116 years. Thanks to the dedication of their employees, support of their customers and friends, Connon Nurseries became one of the driving forces in the Canadian horticulture industry.
By 1986, the company had 510 acres of nursery production and was known as one of the largest and most progressive nurseries in Canada. As the youngest generation of the company’s owners took interest in the family business, Connon Nurseries was divided into three separate businesses - C.B. Vanderkruk (CBV) Holdings Ltd. is one of them.
Over the last 36 years, CBV Holdings has grown from a single garden centre in Waterdown, Ontario to a multi-faceted company. They expanded to include:
two additional container and pot-in-pot tree production farms in Waterdown
three additional sales facility operating in Waterdown, Trenton, and Newmarket
Employing over 200 full and seasonal staff members in 3 regional areas, CBV Holdings Ltd. is able to provide its customers with quality plant material and professional service to meet the goal of being a one-stop supplier to both the horticultural trade and the hobby gardener.
