Company Overview

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.
