Country Garden Destination Garden Complex

 18-Acre Retail Garden Centre

Country Garden has been an important part of the Chilliwack community since 1957, with Brian and Faye Minter as owners since 1970.  After 35 years on Hope River Road, they moved the business to a beautiful 18 acre site on Young Road North in January 1994.

This industry is an area of pride for the Minter's, and something that they enjoy sharing with others.  Faye Minter created the overall layout of the Young Road store, with a vision for improving upon the shopping experience of their customers.  The latest technology was also used, with the garden centre being designed to appeal to both people and plants. Hot water in-floor heating maintains a comfortable temperature year round with different temperature zones for different areas.

The pride and joy of Country Garden is the Prins Dutch Venlo style glass
greenhouse. A computer monitors all the irrigation and fertilization with an ebb and flow system. Rolling benches make maximum use of available space. Energy curtains, hot water bench heating and venting are all computer controlled to save energy and labour.  The energy curtains open to let light in on cloudy days, close to provide shade on sunny days and close at night to hold in the heat. Vents open to cool on hot days and half of the roof opens up in the cooler plastic houses.  The original greenhouses from this property and the older style greenhouses from the Hope River Road location were all saved and reconstructed with energy efficient double-poly and roll up sides.  These have the potential to be converted to an ebb and flow bench water system since the in-ground infrastructure is in place.

Today Country Garden is so much more than a garden store:

• Floral Design Department: call 604-792-0111 to speak with our florist

• Callicarpa Garden Cafe

• Nature Park, Suspension Bridge, Ponds, & Display Gardens

• Great Events

• Antiques By Design

The future features for Country Garden are exciting  as well.  This beautiful 18-acre destination garden centre plans to further develop the Nature Preserve and display areas.
