The HGTV HOME Plant Collection announced its first Canadian shrub grower partner for its ‘Smart & Stylish’ Shrub line: Willowbrook Nurseries of Fenwick, Ontario. A well-known container nursery and perennials grower, the company was chosen for its expertise in a range of ornamental shrubs from spruce and yews to cedars, as well as its excellent distribution network throughout Canada.
Willowbrook joins the current line of ‘Smart & Stylish’ Shrub growers including Color Spot Nurseries, Imperial Nurseries, Kurt Weiss Greenhouses, Lake County Nursery, Northern Family Farms and Van Essen Nursery. All the shrub growers have critical experience growing new plant varieties and working with other national branded plant programs.
The debut collection of ‘Smart & Stylish’ Shrubs was developed by Agricola Management Group in conjunction with HGTV. Plants will be available spring 2013 in select retailers nationwide as part of a soft launch rollout. This complements the full “Expressions” annuals rollout for 2013.
