Valleybrook Gardens Ltd. is Canada’s premier producer and marketer of perennials. The nursery operates on 25 acres of land, utilizing approximately 200,000 square feet of greenhouses to produce 2000 varieties annually.

Tanglebank Country Gardens is a boutique retailer situated in rural Abbotsford. Started in 1996, it has become a favorite destination for avid and beginner gardeners alike, as well as those who simply enjoy the tranquil ambience of its beautiful garden setting. Tanglebank stocks a superb selection of annuals, perennials, ornamental grasses, trees and shrubs, as well as outdoor garden art, pottery and garden accessories. Its gift department contains a fine selection of home décor, kitchen and bath, home accents and delicious gourmet foods. Tanglebank is committed to providing unique, quality products that inspire and encourage people to cultivate exceptional gardenscapes.

The operation includes 24,000 square feet of greenhouse area as well as an outdoor production area. A large display bed gracing the entry demonstrates grasses and perennials combined, while a specimen bed shows the form and size of our most popular varieties. Domaine de Chaberton Estate Winery is located on 55 acres amongst the rolling hills of south Langley. It is the largest and oldest winery in the Fraser Valley. Its wines have won numerous awards in competitions held throughout Canada, the United States and Europe.
