In today’s world, shopping locally is more important than ever. As tensions rise in international trade, many consumers find themselves questioning where their money is going and what impact their purchasing decisions have on their local economy. When you shop at big American box stores, you’re often contributing to a corporate juggernaut that might not have the same connection to your community as a small business like Peterborough Landscape Supply.
At Peterborough Landscape Supply, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality products that are 100% Canadian. From our beautiful trees, shrubs, annuals, and perennials to our sturdy patio furniture and luxurious hot tubs, everything we offer comes from Canadian companies.
So, why choose us over the big box stores, especially during a time when trade tensions can affect the cost and availability of goods? Here are a few reasons:
1. Supporting Local Businesses Keeps Money in the Community
When you shop with us, you’re not just purchasing plants or furniture; you’re supporting your community. A large portion of the money you spend at local businesses stays within the local economy—whether it’s in the form of wages for employees, taxes that fund community services, or charitable donations that help local causes. Big American stores don’t have the same local ties, and much of their profits go back to corporate headquarters far away.
2. 100% Canadian Products
Unlike large retailers that may source their products from overseas or from countries with strained trade relations, Peterborough Landscape Supply works exclusively with Canadian companies. All of our trees, shrubs, annuals, and perennials are sourced from Canadian growers. Our CR Plastics patio furniture is Canadian-made, ensuring that you’re investing in products built to withstand Canadian weather while supporting local craftsmanship.
3. Hot Tubs Made Right Here in Canada
Looking to unwind in style? Our Be Well Hot Tubs are proudly Canadian-made. Investing in a Canadian hot tub means you’re not only getting a high-quality product tailored for Canadian climates, but you’re also supporting the manufacturing sector in this country. Why take the risk of purchasing from foreign brands that might not offer the same level of durability or customer service?
4. Fostering Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Canadian growers and manufacturers are often held to stricter environmental standards than their international counterparts. By supporting Peterborough Landscape Supply, you’re making a conscious choice to help protect our local ecosystems. Our plants are grown here in Canada, meaning they’re better suited for our environment, lessening the impact of transportation and ensuring healthier, more sustainable products.
5. Personalized Customer Service
Shopping at big box stores can often feel impersonal, with long lines and staff who may not have the expertise you’re looking for. At Peterborough Landscape Supply, we believe in building relationships with our customers. Our team is made up of people who know our products inside and out, and we take the time to help you choose what’s best for your space. Whether you’re looking for the perfect tree for your yard or need advice on how to care for your new perennials, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
6. Weather the Storm of Trade Wars
In an era of trade wars and fluctuating tariffs, buying from Canadian suppliers offers a measure of stability. When you choose Peterborough Landscape Supply, you’re not at the mercy of changing international trade agreements or the instability of foreign markets. We’re committed to offering products that are made right here in Canada, so you can feel confident that you’re getting the best without the uncertainty.
In Conclusion
