From Our Team
What Our Staff Had To Say
Joining Creekside Nursery and Garden Centre this past year has been a great experience and an easy decision. From day one, I was welcomed into a team that’s knowledgeable, hardworking,
and genuinely supportive. Creekside has a strong reputation in the community, and being part of
a company that takes pride in its work—from planning projects to delivering high-quality
landscapes—has been incredibly motivating. I’ve appreciated the trust, collaboration, and respect
that comes with my role as Landscape Project Manager, as well as the opportunity to work on a
wide range of projects. Every day brings new challenges, fresh air, and the satisfaction of seeing
projects come together, and it’s clear that Creekside is a place where people are valued and set up
to succeed.
John TenhaveLandscape Manager
I started at Creekside Nursery and Garden Centre over 30 years ago, working in trees and shrubs, never imagining it would turn into the career it has. Over the years, I’ve had the rare opportunity to work alongside three generations of the Trevisanutto family, and that’s been something special. I’ve grown with the company as it expanded, evolved, and took on new challenges—and Creekside has always given me the chance to grow right along with it. What’s kept me here is the respect, the trust, and the feeling that your hard work actually matters. This isn’t just a job; it’s a place where dedication is recognized, where you’re encouraged to learn, and where you feel proud of what you help build every day. Starting out on the ground and working my way into the role of Operations Manager has been incredibly rewarding, and I can honestly say Creekside has been a great place to build a long-term career.
Steve FontaineOperations Manager
I’ve been part of Creekside Nursery and Garden Centre for 20 years, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding journey. I started out working in the header house, growing plants and learning the hands-on side of the business, then moved into sales in the main greenhouse, where I discovered how much I loved connecting with customers. Creekside has always encouraged growth, learning, and passion, which led me to my current role as Retail Manager. What makes this place truly special is how excited I still feel coming to work every day—it’s fast-paced, fulfilling, and genuinely enjoyable. We support one another, celebrate each other’s successes, and truly feel like a family, and that’s why Creekside has been such a great place to build a career
