PROUDLY GROWN IN CANADA FOR YOUR GARDEN
At every step of the journey - from tiny young plants to those you bring home from your local garden centre – Proven Winners is working to support Canadian businesses and home gardeners from the ground up. Young plant producers from around the world ship starter plants to Canadian-owned growers across Canada. These Canadian growing operations, many of which have been family-owned for generations, produce the retail-ready plants you purchase from your local garden centres.
Each step of the growing process involves Canadian-owned businesses serving Canadian gardeners. In fact, 98% of the revenue generated from Proven Winners plants grown in Canada stays in Canada.
