The History of NORWOOD GARDENS

Norwood Gardens began with a hobby greenhouse for Roland and Linda Norwood. In 1980, they built their first greenhouse and grew a modest crop of 50 poinsettias, which they sold door-to-door. This was soon followed by their first crop of bedding plants, also sold locally through door-to-door visits and flea markets. As demand grew, so did the business—eventually expanding to six greenhouses and a spacious outdoor retail area.

Over the years, many dedicated members of the community have contributed to the success of Norwood Gardens, with some team members still proudly working there today.

Following Roland’s passing in 2023, ownership passed to Corey and Susan, marking the beginning of Norwood Gardens’ second generation. With fresh inspiration and a renewed vision, Corey and Susan are modernizing the business. Renovations are ongoing, including the development of new retail spaces to better serve a growing customer base.

NORWOOD GARDENS has been contracted by the Halifax Regional Municipality to remove dangerous and invasive plant species, including Wild Parsnip and Giant Hogweed that can result in third-degree burns if contact is made with the sap of the plant. The process involves wearing full PPE and bagging the plant to avoid seeds escaping. The tap root is then dug up to prevent the plant from regrowing and everything is disposed of according to strict regulations.
