Doing It Wright for 40 Years
Celebrating 40 years of business in 2018, Wright’s Greenhouse continues to be a critical part of gardening in the north east.
With a deep connection to community, Wright’s Greenhouse continues to evolve, meeting the changing gardening needs of their clients, incorporating three generations of knowledge, through changes in the industry, during the good times and the bad in the farming area they call home,
“When we began this business, Angie was just a baby and she was here with us while we worked,” recalls Wendy Wright who commented that Wright’s Greenhouse was started when she and her husband, Tom, moved back home to Beatty after a downturn in the Alberta economy in the 1970s.
Since then, the family slowly grew the business, with help from Tom’s parents. The baby rocking in a bassinet in the greenhouse became a toddler and then a young woman passionate about the business. At the same time, trips to Wright’s Greenhouse became a tradition with most families in the area and the bright red delivery truck with the Wright’s Greenhouse sign on the side was driven by Grandfather, Cam Wright, happily making deliveries well into his very senior years. Though Cam is now gone – the bright red truck with the sign still is used by the greenhouse.
