Ppinire Abbotsford inc.
It was in 1962 that Mr. Jean-Claude Paquette purchased the
nursery he has been successfully operating ever since. Later,
his two sons joined him in the business, turning it into a
family-run enterprise. But over the last few years, the trio
directing the company has been made up of Jean-Claude and his
son Pierre, who manages wholesale operations and production, as
well as Pierre Choquette, who is in charge of administrative
management and retail operations.
For more than four decades, Ppinire Abbotsford has been
specialised in growing trees, shrubs and conifers, both in the
field and in containers. All together, its repertoire includes
more than 900 species and cultivars. Over the last few years,
the enterprise has added to this impressive production a wide
range of roses as well as about one hundred varieties of
perennials. Currently this nursery located south-east of
Montreal covers some 65 hectares including 45 reserved for
field
production and 20 for growing some 500,000 container plants.
Of course, nursery production at this level is not limited to
the members of a single family. To meet the needs of its
clients throughout Quebec, Ontario, and the Maritimes, as well
as in the North-eastern part of the United States, Ppinire
Abbotsford is able to count on an experienced team of 150
people
during the busiest times of the year.
CHOICES TO MEET ALL NEEDS
Whether you're a nurseryman, the owner of a garden centre, a
landscape architect or the employee of a municipality, a golf
club or a major enterprise, Ppinire Abbotsford can meet even
your most exacting needs thanks to its complete range of plants
perfectly acclimated to all the regions the nursery serves. By
dealing with this exceptional grower, you won't have to visit 3
or 4 nurseries to locate all the varieties you need. You'll
find both exceptional quality and everything you need in one
single stop, available from April to November.
Always putting its customers needs first, Ppinire Abbotsford
also offers an impressive range of large calibre trees at very
reasonable prices. The enterprise's directors have taken all
the necessary steps to ensure that their clients can find the
product they need at competitive prices. Growing large calibre
trees is a perfect example of this concern for excellence,
innovation and efficiency. It's quite precisely because of the
knowledge the Ppinire Abbotsford's team possesses that
Quebec's horticultural industry has been evolving so rapidly
over the last few years. And it's not surprising that this
interest in excellence has been recognised over and over again
in various competitions within the field and in the business
world in general, notably the prestigious Agricultural Merit
award.
With 41 years of experience in the production and sale of
plants
now under its belt, Ppinire Abbotsford is furthermore
perfectly aware of the latest market trends.
OTHER QUALITY PRODUCTS
Aware of the importance of always innovating in a world that is
more and more competitive, Ppinire Abbotsford has also added
other gardening products to its already vast range of plants.
That is why it was the first to market cacao shells, sold under
the name CAO Dcor, as a mulch. This product plays an
important
role in eliminating weeds. Furthermore, since it decomposes
readily, changing into organic matter, it also helps stimulate
plant growth.
Ppinire Abbotsford is also distributor of the fibre
containers
and plastic pots used for production.
