In 2010 Canadian Gardening called it one of the top 20 garden centres in Canada. This book tells how that happened."--Back cover. "Bruce Partridge, who was there almost from the start, tells the unlikely story of the creation and success of Pleasant Valley Nurseries. Pleasant Valley Nurseries was an Antigonish, NS treasure for almost forty years, and helped change the style and possibilities of landscaping and gardening in northern Nova Scotia. The book presents the narrative of how Pleasant Valley Nurseries started from an impractical dream, through all the struggles and unexpected triumphs of landscaping, contract work, greenhouse development, and tree nurseries. The stories are both funny and insightful. The second half of the book is a collection of essays on gardening, with practical advice anybody with a plot of land and a dream of growing things will benefit from reading."--Goodreads.
