'Heart-wrenching': Canadian flower farmers forced to throw out months of work amid pandemic


"It hurts," said Van Zanten, the owner of Van Zanten Greenhouses in Pelham, Ont. "If nothing changes, then I don't know where I'll be, but I won't be here," said Van Zanten. Van Zanten says he’s selling approximately two truckloads per week this spring, rather than two per day in a typical week. The update doesn't apply to retail garden centres, a Ministry of Agriculture spokesperson told CBC News on Saturday. "We're debating how much we want to do, because that confidence isn't there at the moment," said Van Zanten.
