BOW POINT NURSERYNURSERY

The main focus of the nursery is native woody plants of Southern Alberta. To aid in the success of a landscape, we also have available, mulch and compost. We bring in wood chips from several arborist companies, reshred the chips to provide a smaller more effecient chip which stays in place in windy areas. Our compost is from sawdust and horse manure. This seems to be the best blend of nutrient and bulking organic material. It is also what we use in the nursery to maintain our soils.

Recently we have been bringing in logs from arborist removals to mill into boards and benches. We are calling these products Rescue Wood - diverted from the landfill to our mill.

Bow Point NurseryA Sustainable approach to growing plants

for environmentally conscience landscapes. For those who wish to have

their landscapes mimic the ideals of nature. If you have traveled about

Southern Alberta and marveled at the native ecosystems - from the montane to

the prairies - you will have an appreciation for the indigenous plants

which grow in these habitats.

We have the plants and the methods to replicate the native ecosystems - on a

small yard scale to a sub-division scale.

After many years of testing and trialing a multitude of native woody plants of

Southern Alberta, we have come to the conclusion (and proven) the natives are drought tolerant, insect tolerant, disease

resistant, chinook resistant and much more stable in an urban or rural landscape

than most of the introduced plants.

We produce plants at our nursery , located west of Calgary in the Springbank area,

with methods we have developed for growing in the area. Our plants are

genetically programed to survive in this climate, having evolved over thousands of years to thrive under the conditions which exist here. The transition zone

between the prairies and the foothills is a very challenging and difficult area in

which we grow. The cold nights of the foothills and the drought of the prairies

both limit what can succeed in our landscapes.

The native plants address all of these issues. Because they overwinter (and

summer ) better the plants are stronger and healthier.
