Welcome to the “Nursery” part of Brunswick Nurseries. This is where it all started 26 years ago. We have 8 acres of trees and shrubs happily growing on a plot of land overlooking the wonderful Kennebecasis River. Gondola Point to the south. Kingston Peninsula to the north. We specialize in native cedar and hemlock because that’s what grows on this piece of land naturally, but we also grow a mix of hardwoods like oak, birch, sugar maple and linden; and evergreens like pine and spruce. In our container area we grow a wide assortment of shrubs in pots.

We are very proud of our common sense farming practices. We haven’t used pesticides in 10 years. We only use organic fertilizers ion our fields (like lime and crab meal). We deal with pests problems only when they occur and only when they are deemed a threat. We deal with them in a physical way, not a chemical one. (i.e. hand picking infected leaves, building a deer fence). We hand dig our trees. We cultivate with hoes, and control weeds with cover crops. These practices are labour intensive and provide employment for hard working individuals. Come visit us and we’ll show you around.
