SFC Investigates the Canadian seasonal greenery opportunity

Based on research, and discussions with property owners, retailers and designers, Small Farm Canada has identified a gap in the market for Canadian locally sourced greenery. While in the U.S, large-scale foliage farms have consolidated into MEGA firms (often the only alternative for Canadian greenhouses and floral designers), there are few dedicated foliage farms in Canada at this time.

It is our view that given the size of Canada’s landmass, our diversity of flora, creative talents and the entrepreneurial spirit of our people, this should not be the case.

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
