Person
Bruce Partridge and his wife, Mary, live in St. Andrews, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. Both are graduates of the Ornamental Horticulture program at the old Nova Scotia Agricultural College in Truro. They met at the Pleasant Valley Nurseries in Antigonish, where they worked together for decades. Together they have long been interested in native plants. They enjoy Summer jaunts into the wilds looking for new ones. In the 1990s they operated a nursery of their own, propagating and selling wildflowers at the garden centre and through the mail, and are tempted to start up again.
