Homestead Nurseryland & Florist has been helping share the joy of gardening for over 45 years in Abbotsford.

The original store was started in the old downtown Abbotsford on Cyril Street next to the old Co-op. In 2001 Homestead made a move to a new 3 acre location at 31888 Marshall Rd in Abbotsford. Homestead had outgrown the old location and needed more room for plant material and a larger greenhouse. 

Dan Trayler (owner) began sharing his love of gardening in Abbotsford in 1986. Early on Dan was very involved in the family garden and landscape which started him on his path to his passion for plants and gardening. This led him to take a career path in the horticulture industry. Dan has been working in the garden and landscape community in BC for over 45 years As a BC certified Nurseryman, he has hosted many radio and television garden shows. He is a frequent gardening columnist for several local publications as well as gardening magazines. Over time, he has become known as the local garden authority in Abbotsford.
