"I have caught hold
  of the earth, to use a gardener's phrase, and neither my friends nor enemies will find it an easy matter to transplant me again!"

       
Henry St. John
  (1678-1751) in a letter 
to Jonathan Swift.

Van Bakel's Garden Center.  Proudly serving Newmarket & East Gwillimbury gardeners with quality plants since 2004.

 

Van Bakel Greenhouse and
                               Garden Center
...

         ... is a small, family run, retail greenhouse on the outskirts of Newmarket Ontario that opened it's gates to the local gardening public in 2004.  Our focus is on perennials, annuals, a basic selection of shrubs, customized containers and hanging baskets, and on providing experienced gardening services to help you look after your garden. 

Owned and operated by Susan Van Bakel and Don Heaslip, this father/daughter team brings together over 22 years of plant knowledge, gardening enthusiasm, and business experience.  We're here for the long term and are dedicated to working hard year round to earn the pleasure of seeing you return each spring, just as excited as we are to launch another successful gardening season!

We have three priorities at Van Bakel's.  

our new biodegradable pots full of young plants in late March. The first, is to provide high quality plants for you to choose from.  We keep on top of what's new in the plant breeding world and order our plants from a variety of Canadian sources to ensure best quality and a wide selection. 

The second, is to provide outstanding customer service.  Our #1 policy is to strive for clients to be 100% satisfied with their Van Bakel's  shopping experience.  After only a few years of operation we can boast of a fast growing list of repeat2007 Opening Day, April 30th customers who appreciate our knowledgeable staff and personal service.

Our third priority is to provide lots of information about the plants, not just read you the sometimes questionable information on plant tags.  In winter we are busy attending industry seminars to keep up with new innovations, plants and trends.  We do this so you can tap our knowledge to solve your gardening problems, and help you with design ideas.  Feel free to contact us anytime with questions, feedback, or, of course, plant orders.

   Map & Directions

 

 

 

 

We only purchase Canadian grown plants and, as much as possible, from local suppliers. This ensures that the plants you purchase from us
have travelled a minimum distance to get to your garden, and contributes our little bit towards supporting other independent Canadian businesses.
