Have you ever seen this tool at work before?

It's something that we've been asked over and over and over—

"How can you move these big trees? They must all die!"

In a word? Process.

No cut corners, taking care of the root ball, and doing it the right way.

Here's Josh with the full breakdown.

Healthy growth starts long before the heat of summer. Here’s the system we recommend to help
your fresh plant material establish properly.

ā€œYeah it’s tight quarters, tough digging sometimes.ā€

Today we’re joining the team as they dig and prepare fifty-inch basketed trees, from extraction to transport.

Here’s a first look at the automated press for seedling production that we’ve been teasing over the past several months.

This system represents a long-term investment in the future of our farm: growing stronger, healthier plant material from the very beginning of the lifecycle, entirely in-house.

In this video, we’re focusing on the purpose behind the assembly and the role it plays in the bigger picture of our operation.

Soon, we’ll walk through the machine itself — what’s working well, what isn’t, and how the entire process comes together from start to finish.

Stay tuned.

Coming up in today’s video:

ā€œIf you’re in the local market and you actually want to find folks that have the knowledge, have the history, have the inventory, have the tried and true varieties, have locally grown, prairie hardy, acclimated plant material, check out a local supplier. They’re fantastic!ā€

FHN has been rooted in Alberta since the 70's. Built for where we live. Our experience makes us uniquely positioned to provide beautiful, viable plant material for your projects.

Whether you are a homeowner, landscaper, contractor, or wholesaler, reach out to the office for all your prairie hardy planting needs—403.203.3338.

ā€œWe want to be a business that is known for how we serve.ā€

That starts with our team. It’s why this day is always circled; it’s a time to connect, sharpen our standards, and have some fun before the season ahead.

How we show up here is how we show up for you.

Here’s a look at our tree farm training day.

As the closest production nursery to Calgary, we always appreciate when architects reach out to align plant material with the specific needs of their projects.

When you connect with a local grower:

🌱 You see what actually thrives
🌿 You understand what’s available
šŸ” You gain insight into how it’s grown and tested

As our city continues to expand, the need to steward our urban canopy has never been greater.

When architects and designers work directly with local growers, we can collaborate with intention and invest in a greener future.

Ready to pop as soon as we get them into the ground.ā€

When bareroot stock arrives from suppliers—dormant and without soil—our team begins to process and heal them into our cold storage area until we’re ready to plant them. Then, it’s into native soil, perfectly timed with the season in order for the roots to take off!

Here’s Colin with the full breakdown.

Looking for prairie hardy trees, shrubs, grasses, or perennials this season? Reach out to the office—403.203.3338.

Today we’re following Ben through our in-house FHN ā€œmarket,ā€ as the team picks up their 2026 kits.

Hats, hoodies, polos, t-shirts, we're all geared up and ready for the season.

This was part of our annual training day to kick things off. More from the day coming soon.

It’s shaping up to be a big year! Call the office for all of your prairie hardy plant needs—403.203.3338.
