Join me for a tour of Clearview Horticultural Products - propagating and growing millions of clematis vines and a large assortment of other flowering and fruiting vines. Rob Wein takes us through their assortment, discusses their hybridization program, shipping, plant care - all the behind-the-scenes details of how this busy nursery produces and ships 3.5 million plants per year.

Founded in 1970 in Langley BC, Clearview Horticultural Products is first and foremost a family business, now with a fifth generation of the family active in the business! Rob Wein (our tour guide) works with his parents, his brother, his nephew, and two of his sons - all contributing to the business in their own unique and important ways. From the Clearview site:
"We now have a fifth generation active in our business. Rob Wein Junior is currently completing his degree in Horticulture. His education and interest in entomology has helped propel us toward sustainable production. Dustin Wein’s Business education helps keep the finances in check. Fred Junior’s kids, who also grew up working at the nursery, have attended university and left to pursue different careers. Fred Senior’s major focus has turned to Clematis breeding, while Sidney Mary continues to ensure i’s are dotted and t’s crossed. We have worked hard at developing a great staff and currently have four locations with greenhouse area totalling over 450,000 square feet. We are proud to have become one of the major clematis propagators in North America. We continue to honour our original simple philosophy of quality products, service and selection."
BTW - if you're reading this far into the description, my favorite part of the tour happens at around 11:20 You know, superhero action movie kind of stuff.
