T&T Seeds has been in the mail-order business since 1946! It was started by Jerry and Paddy Twomey. They operated it together until 1967. That year Jerry sold-out to Paddy, who continued to run it till he was joined by his eldest son Kevin in 1974. Kevin took over the management in the late 70's and has been the General Manager since. In 1981 he was joined by his younger brother Brian who is the Operations Manager. Kevin and Brian Twomey owned the business until 2016 when they sold to Jarrett and Jackie Davidson.T&T Seeds has specialized in early season garden seed and nursery stock for the home gardener and market gardener since its inception. The bulk of the business has been carried out in the prairie provinces, with British Columbia and Ontario.T&T Seeds originally was located in downtown Winnipeg in the exchange district since it opened its doors. The first location was 120 Lombard Ave. In 1975 the operation moved across the street to 111 Lombard Ave. where over the next 20 years it expanded to 35,000 square feet. The largest expansion occurred from 1985 on, when T&T began shipping and handling its own tree and shrub stock. Today we stock over 80 varieties of trees & shrubs and 80 varieties of perennials in our coolers.In the summer of 1997, T&T relocated to a small acreage in Headingley Manitoba. A new 16,000 square foot warehouse was built for distributing our orders across Canada as well as refrigeration for storing perishable stock. At this site we have greenhouses for producing a wide selection of bedding plants and started fruit & vegetable plants. This new location has provided an efficient site for the quick processing of the mail-order business as well as provide us with a 5 acre trial garden to test new varieties, fertilizers and techniques.
