A Great Big Green Year- 2010 in Review
What a year it was for Greenery! Our biggest project ever was completed and on display to the world. The Winter Garden at Jamieson Place featuring the largest living wall of it’s kind in Western Canada was completed in March 2010. This project came with many challenges but our team, led by General Manager Rennie Gotell, conquered them all! In August we were honoured by PIA, the Plantscape Industry Alliance with two Awards of Excellence, one for the Winter Garden as a whole and one for the Living Wall in a category of its own. In October I was thrilled to head to Kentucky to the GIC to accept their highest honour for The Winter Garden project from PLANET, the Professional Landcare Network. The Living Wall continues to thrive and be a great source of pride for everyone in our company. Greenery is now being sought out for quotes for Living Walls throughout Canada and we will continue to be the provider of choice for other high profile projects because of this outstanding achievement!
Our trip to Calscape in San Diego was once again very worthwhile. Being involved in Industry Associations, tradeshows and conferences has increased our knowledge and enabled us to take on cutting edge projects. It also introduces us to professionals like McRae Anderson from McCaren Designs, the Landscape Architect from St Paul, Minnesota who worked with us on our Living Wall project
We welcomed some new employees this year, Danielle, Karen, Jay and Bruce, and we are thrilled that Joanne Gotell has moved into the Customer Service position where her creativity is shining! We are also very proud of our technicians who are now 15 year employees! This is an amazing accomplishment, wonderful for them but I think we are the lucky ones! Thank you Adrian and Linda!
We have an exciting change to our holiday program coming up this year. We are moving into the LED world and updating to trees with LED lights, some wonderful themes and adding wreaths and garlands to our program. We will keep you posted on this- but while your memory is fresh- consider your present holiday display when you are budgeting for the year! You will not be disappointed. Did I mention how much fun it was shopping for all of those wonderful holiday jewels?
I was invited once again, to speak at the Landscape Ontario conference last fall. It is always a thrill to meet other Interior Landscapers across the country and share the exciting projects coming out of Calgary.
Greenery now has a Facebook Page! I try to update it regularly with industry tidbits and company news. It is interesting to see how many people are friending us or liking us from all over the world! I am also tweeting away company and personal news from wherever I am! And of course our web-site continues to be a source of pride as well and I happily recommend Mark Ruthenberg with FoundLocally for responding so promptly to my requests and queries and changes.
So here's to an exciting 2011! Fabulous plants in amazing planters, exciting Holiday designs and perhaps a few more Living Walls!

A Recent TestimonialI need to tell you again just how incredibly appreciative we are of the beautiful plants we have here. Our members love them….. and so do we. I also need to tell you how lucky (even guilty) we feel for having them so lovingly cared for by your team. It really is an extraordinary gift that is appreciated every day.
