Taylor’s great grandparents, Theo & Helen Bosch started their market garden in the early 1940’s – selling fresh vegetables and gladiolas at the North End market. In 1951, they went on to become the first chrysanthemum growers in Manitoba.
In 1965, Taylor’s grandparents, Julie & Dan Gyselinck took over and grew the business to include bedding plants, mums and poinsettias. Taylor’s dad Richard opened his bedding plant stand in Garden City in the early 1980’s, which Terence now successfully still runs 40 years later! Richard and his sister ran Riverside from 1991-2013. In 2014 the greenhouses moved north. Richard, Terence and Taylor still proudly grow quality plants together.
