Anthony O’Neill, inspired early by his father Joe's passion for gardening, pursued horticulture through studies at the University of Guelph, the University of British Columbia, and the Nova Scotia Agricultural College. His family business, initially a grocery store named Shop n' Save, transformed into O’Neill’s Gardenland in the 1990s when Joe filled the store with garden-grown produce, marking the shift to a full-fledged garden center. O’Neill’s Gardenland became a hub for retail, production, and landscaping, embodying the family’s enthusiasm for gardening.
O’Neill’s Gardenland joined the Landscape Newfoundland and Labrador Horticulture Association (LNLHA) upon its formation in 1992, where Anthony’s decades-long volunteer work began. Serving on the LNLHA and CNLA boards and later Garden Centres Canada, he eventually became CNLA president. He describes the CNLA Board as “phenomenal” for its passion and dedication, which he says energizes all members.
