A landmark Greater Vernon business has announced a major change to its operations.
Swan Lake Nurseryland — which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year — will be closing for the winter, from Nov. 1 until a date in February still to be determined.
Manager Kirk Hughes says they are returning to their roots as a seasonal business, allowing more focus on the garden centre and local produce.
“We started as a seasonal business; we even started as basically a roadside fruit stand 60 years ago. And over time, we’ve become a full season operation with a lot of diversity of products. And I think what this will do is give us a chance to really focus our attention on the gardening centre side of things, being the local experts in terms of gardening, and carrying the fantastic local produce that we’ve always carried,” Hughes told Vernon Matters.
