Our History:
In 1995, Bunchberry Nurseries started out on a small piece of property in Berwick but moved to Upper Clements, Nova Scotia in 1997 for the extra space and significantly better climate. The nursery began as a wholesale provider for other nurseries, located mostly in Atlantic Canada, but since 2006, also operates a successful retail business.
