Historically the manage-

Florist has always felt a
garden center should be
technically termed a garden
service center. They have

get the best results from
their lawn or garden. In
response to this Capilano

offers a large compliment of
knowledgeable sales staff.
Whether it be the best way
of getting moss out of the
lawn, the best variety of
rhododendron for that spot
in the shrub bed, or simply a
hand out to the car with that
bale of peat moss, the com-
pitent staff will do their best
to meet the customers needs,

This level of customer
service is not limited to the
garden center section of the
store as it can be found in
the florist shop as weil.

Capilano Nurseries the privi-
lege of providing the flower
arrangements fo the gift
