Myowngreenhouse – Loren Daoust began building greenhouses by hand in a 1940s-era three-car garage that was little more than a shack. Now, more than 20 years later, he’s partnered with Cynthia Strawson – who has been gardening for even longer – and they co-own My Own Greenhouse from a new shop near Beaumont, Alberta, 30 minutes southeast of Edmonton.
For Loren and Cynthia, My Own Greenhouse is more than a business. Their hobbies feed into their work – this is their life inside and outside the shop. Loren is an inventor and builder, while Cynthia is an insatiable grower (Cert Horticulture), population health expert (MSc Nutr & Metab), and marketing professional (Dipl Ad & PR). Loren is as passionate about building as Cynthia is about gardening. Their complementary partnership is part of what makes My Own Greenhouse successful.
Cynthia and Loren often hear people say, “I’ve always dreamed about having a greenhouse.” The smiles and sometimes even tears they share with customers when admiring a newly installed greenhouse proves that investing in a high quality greenhouse is worth the wait.
