FAQs
What is Van Belle Nursery and what services do they offer?
Van Belle Nursery is a North American B2B wholesale grower and propagator based in Abbotsford, British Columbia. We primarily operate two separate, specialized companies: Van Belle Youngplants (supplying rooted liners to commercial growers across the US and Canada) and Van Belle Finished Plants (supplying retail-ready nursery stock to mass merchant retailers and larger independent garden centers across Western Canada and the US Pacific Northwest).
Does Van Belle Nursery (Finished Plants or Youngplants) sell directly to home gardeners or the public?
No, Van Belle Nursery is strictly a wholesale B2B supplier. We work in direct partnership with commercial growers, wholesale nurseries, and retail garden centers to supply wholesale live goods. Consumers can find the premium retail brands we grow, such as Bloomin’ Easy® and Proven Winners® ColorChoice® at local mass merchants and independent garden centers.
Where is Van Belle Nursery located and where do you ship?
Our head office and primary growing facilities are located in Abbotsford, BC (Pacific Northwest). Through our climate-controlled freight networks, Van Belle Youngplants ships regularly to all major growing regions in the US and Canada, while Van Belle Finished Plants serves mass merchant retail partners across Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest.
