How it all started

Dunvegan Gardens started in 1952 with Bill and Hilda Friesen and their six children. They settled on the flats at Dunvegan (historic trading post) south of Fairview, Alberta. What started as a market garden bloomed into growing annuals and perennials in greenhouses. It expanded as the three brothers opened greenhouses in Peace River AB, Grim Shaw AB, Grande Prairie AB, Fort St John BC, and a seasonal greenhouse in Yellowknife. Today, the third generation is still in the greenhouse industry and has independent family-run greenhouses in Fort McMurray AB, Edmonton AB, Fort St John and Grande Prairie. For over 64 years, Dunvegan Gardens has served areas in Alberta, British Columbia and other regions of Canada.

Dunvegan Farms (DG) farms also offer a wide range of locally grown and aesthetically pleasing garden plants, shrubs, trees, and other products. Through our farm entertainment centers, we seek to develop the most creative and innovative farm entertainment experiences available in all of Canada. Through our landscaping service division, we provide: landscaping design, development, maintenance, and enhancement services for the residential and commercial sectors. Today, Dunvegan Gardens are leveraging over 60 years of experience as a vertically integrated grower for the rapidly increasing demand for fresh local produce, farm entertainment, and garden products in Calgary, Alberta, through its partnership with Granary Road.
