Canada: Debono Greenhouse grows year round colourful flowers

Debono Greenhouses is a family business dating back more than 30 years. The farm was first started by Louis and Lidia Debono growing spring plants and field vegetables. Now operated by Victor Debono, with the help of mother Lidia and brother Edward, the operation has evolved into flower growing with just under 3 acres under cover.

Debono Greenhouses is a year round operation producing potted plants, summer perennials, and spring plants. Potted plants grown include Poinsettias, Hydrangeas, Ranunculus, Cineraria, and Lilies including Asiatics, Orientals, and Easter Lilies.

Product is sold to independent garden centre's, florists, wholesalers, grocery stores, and at The Ontario Food Terminal.

Biomass heating was put into place using woodchips and that is now the primary heat source. As a producer of woodchips they also supply other growers using biomass.
