About



Sumka Brothers Greenhouses is a True Family Success Story

It all started in the winter of 1977, when George Sumka decided to start a hobby greenhouse on the family farm off of the South Perimeter highway in Winnipeg, Manitoba.  George and his brothers, Paul and Peter, had always been involved in GROWING!  They were immersed into the lives of production gardening from the time they were old enough to pick peas!  For the next few years, the Boys would grow starter vegetables to be planted in the surrounding fields for harvest and sale in the summer markets. 

In 1985, the Boys began to retail a variety of bedding plants and geraniums out of a little sugar-shack erected in the parking lot of the Food Barn on the Regent Avenue Strip.  The loyalty of Winnipeg and Transcona's flower customers kept Sumka Brothers Greenhouses afloat despite an annual gypsy-like relocation of the sugar-shack.  In 1993, the Peguis Street garden centre opened for business and...KABLOOM!!! The rest is history in the making!

At Sumka Brothers Greenhouses it is our aim to offer our customers three things to ensure the utmost enjoyable shopping experience – amazing service, the best quality, and unbelievable selection! Family owned and operated for over 40 years, there is a pride of ownership and a level of quality that separates us from other plant providers.  Each and every plant we sell comes from our hands into yours.  

Our garden centre is KABLOOMING with a lot of happiness and a lot of high quality plant life! We are lucky to employ and work with some of the most friendly, knowledgeable and helpful individuals in our industry.  With much of our staff passing 10-year anniversaries, the love of GROWING transcends!  Whether you are looking to start a vegetable garden, fill a flowerbed, or create an awesome container, one of our team will work with you to create something traditional, unique, or innovative – but most of all, something that is a reflection of you!!!
