Welcome to Fragro®
Misty Valley Growers is a family-run nursery located in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley. With deep roots in the local community, Fragro® plants—originally established by Stephen and Julie Head— proudly continues a legacy of quality and environmental stewardship under the new ownership of Austin and Amy Oudshoorn. Embracing the innovative growing practices and commitment to natural balance that have defined our history, we are dedicated to offering exceptional plants that flourish in harmony with nature.
Amy and Austin both come from an agriculture background—Amy, in particular, has a long family history in plant agriculture. Together they grow the best Fragro® plants using a blend of traditional methods and modern innovation. For Amy, the joy of growing herbs goes hand in hand with her love of cooking—these herbs become the inspiration for delicious, flavourful dishes that truly showcase the quality of their harvest. This passion is a family affair, shared daily with their 2 year old daughter, Layla, who joins the family for every part of the journey.
The quality of our plants is what sets us apart and while we make use of technology and automation, we have not abandoned our traditional growing methods. With technology and an outstanding team at our nursery, Fragro is well positioned to meet the challenges of a growing market.
The plant collection includes over 80 herbs and plants sold under the brand name of Fragro®, noticeable by the distinctive cream and terracotta tag and terracotta colored pot. The Fragro® collection of herbs and plants cater to every taste. For our 20th anniversary in 2024 we introduced a stunning new variety of Sage, 'Celebration'PBR a compact grower, with bright golden variegated foliage, a great culinary plant and also spectacular in the landscape. For 2025, we will have another great, new to the market introduction, Rosemary 'Tuscan Beauty'PBR, highly aromatic bright golden foliage and vibrant blue flowers. Also a great culinary plant and an excellent addition to an ornamental garden or herb garden.
Like so many today, we’re fussy about what goes onto our plants, our Integrated Pest Management program includes the use of biological remedies to control pests. Within our business, we strive to offer only the highest quality plants to our customers and attain a high level of sustainability and social responsibility.
Fragro® plants offer something for everyone, whether it’s herbs for growing in an herb garden, on a windowsill, an addition to add a pleasant fragrance to the garden, or for patio containers, there is something for every discerning gardener.
