Our History
For the Brons, the nursery business was borne from Hans Bron’s love for growing plants, gardening, and landscaping.
In 1963, Hans and his wife, Rita, immigrated from the Netherlands to Alberta. They opened Greenview Nurseries, Calgary in 1969. It was here that Hans passed on his knowledge and passion to his sons, Ed and Vince.
In 1988, Greenview started the Grand Forks, B.C. operation to supply the Alberta operation. By 1996, Greenview was sold to Ed and Vince and their spouses and the family focused their efforts entirely on what became Bron & Sons Nursery.

Grand Forks was chosen for its climate and great growing conditions. Since then, the company has grown from a 20-acre field supplying 20 customers to a 110 acre enterprise producing thousands of plant varieties, supplying more than 1,000 customers.
As of September 2021, Ed and Kathleen are the sole owners of Bron & Sons, and continue to build upon Han’s legacy.
Bron & Sons remembers its roots by paying homage to Hans, Rita, and Marianne Bron, who paved the way for them. They congratulate Vince on his retirement in 2021 and thank him, Genny, Jerrit, and Kyle for their contributions over the years.
