Edgewood Florist moving from its familiar CSL base on Hudson Avenue
July 04, 2012
Following over half a century of serving the community in the middle of a residential neighbourhood in Côte Saint-Luc, Edgewood Florist will be moving to Montreal-West and their iconic greenhouses will make way for residential development. A press release states that the family-run operation will leave Hudson Ave. on July 10 and the long-time owners have mixed emotions. After spending most of their lives in the greenhouses, three generations of Van Egmonds will continue to serve customers from more modern facilities near Westminster Ave. in Montreal West.
"There are people who have been coming here for 50 years," said co-owner Murray Van Egmond. "I grew up here. I started helping out my dad at age 11 or 12, and this has been my one and only job."
Murray's father, Dirk Van Egmond, who still lives next to the greenhouses and works there part-time, purchased Edgewood Nurseries in 1956 and the family has owned the business ever since.
The land has been used for agriculture in one form or another since 1879; the greenhouses were built in 1929. This fall, they are expected to be demolished.
"We're very excited," said co-owner Corinne Van Egmond, who along with her brother Murray, has been involved in the business for most of her life. Her daughter, Jessica Mailas, represents Edgewood's third generation. "It's sad to leave such a special place, but the business is evolving and we need a new home to facilitate the change."
The new facilities may be more modern and sustainable, but the warmth and hospitality will remain, as it has for decades.

My family lived in the house on Wolsley Ave until 1961 at which time Dirk purchased it from my father. I have many fond memories of both Dirk and Hank.

Hi this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say that you've done a great job with this. In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Firefox. Superb Blog!
