First established in the 1960s, Winderberry Nursery came under the care of green-thumbed, thoughtful-hearted Jack Steedman and Glenda Wah in 1984. From two greenhouses, 2,500 square feet and a sell-out by June of that first year, the business has expanded over 35+ years to 25,000 square feet of greenhouse space along with a nursery specializing in hardy trees, shrubs and perennials, operating from March through October every year.
While Glenda and Jack remain the heartbeat of Winderberry, and are still involved in many aspects of the business, the next generation of family farmers have brought a new and renewed focus on innovative gardening, spectacular flowers and farm-to-table dining (meals serving the local community and summer time visitors to the Columbia Valley) to both commercial and retail customers in BC and Alberta.

They provide colour, texture, and personality to your garden patio and not to mention they are delightful, creative and provide endless possibilities to create fun combinations.
We carefully select the perennials and ornamental grasses for our zonal area, which is zone 3/4. There are far too many to list here, but we have a range of spring, summer and fall blooming perennials. If you are looking for advice on which perennials are good for your garden, then please come and see us at the Greenhouse ~ we are happy to suggest and show you the many different options available.
We would be happy to decorate your home, business, or wedding with a splash of colour and sweet smells. Ask us for details about flower arrangements. Each season Winderberry dedicates a set amount of greenhouse growing area to offer our commercial customers the opportunity to pre-order larger volumes of annual flowers, hanging baskets and planters.

Stopped at Edibles Cafe for a quick lunch after a couple hours of lake time in Windermere. We picked up two grilled cheese sandwiches for the kids, along with a falafel and the BLTCC with a side salad with their lemon dill dressing. The kids gobbled up their grilled cheese like no tomorrow. It had nice gooey cheese on an artisan bread that smelt so delicious. The falafel was amazing as was the BLTCC! We ended up going back the next day to pick up their Great Scape Roasted Garlic Dip (as they were sold out when we stopped for lunch), which is so delicious and flavourful (great on crackers or with
