About Us
Beaver Cove Gardens began as a hobby farm growing tomatoes for a nice
salad. We started with a wheelbarrow and a shovel and kept growing from
there. Located in Cape Breton, NS on the Bras D’or Lakes, our family grows
vegetable transplants and prepared arrangements for those interested in
growing their own gardens.
More than a decade ago, we started growing vegetable and flower transplants
for family, neighbours and friends. Soon we were being approached by local
restaurants, community gardens and local garden centers. Everyone loved our
plants! Proudly grown here in our local climate. Hearty enough to transplant
and exciting heirloom and heritage varieties that were becoming more popular
with each successful crop.
Now, ten years later, our transplants are proudly sold at retailers and garden
centers all over Nova Scotia. We provide sustainable, hearty transplants and
arrangements for vegetables, herbs, flowers and unique botanicals. We enjoy
working with our clients to customize their plant orders to fit their customers
needs. We strive to always provide healthy, hearty plants ready
to go right into your garden. Be it for health, lifestyle
change, getting outdoors or love of cooking, starting a
garden is a great experience and we want to help you get
started! Growing your own vegetables is great family
experience and also a peaceful getaway. You can enjoy
growing our transplants in a large garden or a small
apartment patio. Let Beaver Cove Gardens help you get
started.

Our Services
Vegetable Transplants
Our most popular seller! We sell our veggie
transplants in a 4 inch biodegradable pot
that reduces transplant shock and
maintains water. Retailers love these as they
pack square for display purposes, and hold water on hot days. Our
transplants are started early to provide a mature plant that will begin
growing quicker than typical transplants. We harden our plants gradually
over the growing season to make sure they can stand up to Maritime
Climates. We offer a catalog of favorites and a huge list of other varieties
of vegetable, herb, edible flowers, flowers, etc.
Look for this years new catalog items!
