The sprawling garden centre and nursery on Sunset Drive in St. Thomas began as an immigrant's dream. After more than 70 years in business, Canadale Nurseries is beginning its final chapter, the family that has owned it for decades says. The sprawling garden centre and nursery on Sunset Drive in southwest St. Thomas announced plans Thursday to cease operations in 2027 after the spring season. They bought the property on Sunset Drive five years later. The couple chose the name Canadale because it was a combination of the country they called home and nearby Lyndale and Southdale lines.
