In late March, Darvonda Nurseries learned that its largest wholesale buyer would not be able to accept the majority of its season’s spring plant order. Lawrence Jansen, the owner of Darvonda Nurseries, had to find a solution to sell up to 80 per cent of its annual vegetable and potting plants grown in Alberta and British Columbia or risk survival of its third-generation business.
Lawrence explained the situation to James Heaps, the head of M&A and business advisory services at Avison Young, and the ground work for a solution was put in place. In four weeks, Lawrence alongside James Heaps, Hani Abdelkader and Travis McElroy at Avison Young worked on a plan that will see seven pop-up locations throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan, including Westerner Park.
