BowPoint Nursery

BowPoint Nursery

BowPoint Nursery is owned and operated by Ken Wright and his family since 1988. The farm is situated on approximately 16 acres of land just outside of Calgary. BowPoints focuses is on sustainability and growing local quality products.

The BowPoint Nursery uses local horse manure and local wood chips mixed in to their media. This is a great example of how this farm is sustainable. 

 Ken finds root pruning and under cutting to be very successful.

The irrigation for this nursery is purely based on rainwater. They collect rainwater as well as snow melt to water their plants. They really don't have any other choice as there is no access to water for this nursery. So this means you know you are getting a tough, hardy, Alberta grown product. 

BowPoint Nursery, hands pick their local seeds. They are closed on Thursdays so they can go and do this. They use a GPS to mark where they have collected seeds, and keep track of the quality of the seeds. 

They leave seedlings where they are for over wintering. They make sure they are moist and hope for the best. This is inline with their mission of only growing quality sustainable products.
