Holiday season sales mixed: Poinsettia sales are steady in eastern Canada, down in the West

摘要

Very cold December weather put a damper on poinsettia sales in western Canada this past Christmas season. Growers such as Kelvin Vanderveen (Vanderveen's Greenhouses, in Carman in southern Manitoba), Priscilla Mah (Central Botanical Gardens in Saskatoon) and Jim Hole (Hole's Greenhouse and Gardens Ltd. in St. Albert, a suburb of Edmonton) all report that their poinsettia sales were a little down from last year.
