Best Lawn, Garden, Landscape: Johns Garden & Gift Centre
Johns Garden and Gift Centre has been providing Prince Albert and surrounding areas with their gardening needs since 1985 and they have built a reputation for being the best in Prince Albert.
Up until 2012 their 9,000 square foot greenhouse was stocked throughout the summer with a variety of colorful bedding plants, bloom filled pots, planters and hanging baskets. Their gift centre was stocked with a variety of statuary and fountains for indoor and outdoor use, a variety of candles, soaps and lotions, plus an array of other giftware. However over two years ago the business experienced a disaster that they are still trying to fully recover from.
In June 2012 Johns Garden and Gift Centre was almost completely destroyed by a fire. As a result of that fire, the Garden Centre was forced to relocate and has for the last two years, been operating out of two portable greenhouses under a temporary basis during the spring and summer months.
Since Johns Garden and Gift Centre was originally a year round business, this has caused a huge inconvenience for both the owners and their customers. Despite this setback, owners Debbra Graham, Debbie LaHaye and Rick Andrusek, remain optimistic and hope to rebuild their greenhouse at their new location, on the corner of Central Avenue and 40th Street East, in time for the 2015 gardening season.
