In May 1911, two British landscape architects, Howard Dunnington Grub and his wife Laurie lived in Toronto, and established one of Canada's first landscape architecture companies. Sheridan Nurseries soon discovered that they would have to take steps to address the lack of locally grown ornamental plant material. In 1913, they purchased 100 acres of land near the village of Sheridan, Ontario, named after the Irish playwright Richard Sheridan, now part of Oakville. In the autumn of 1914, the first catalogue of the horticultural season of 1914-1915 was released. Growing rapidly, by 1926, the nursery had grown to 250 acres with a variety of trees, shrubs, evergreens, roses and perennials. Sheridan Nurseries continued to develop after the war and after the war, when the farm was added in northern Georgetown, Ontario.
