From a Garden Center Owner to Garden Center Owners
Leadership coaching for independent garden centers and successors.
You’ve built something meaningful. Now it’s time to lead it without burning out, getting stuck, or carrying it all alone.
LEADING WITHOUT CONSTANT GRIND
What Is O2O?
O2O stands for Owner to Owner — because that’s who this is for, and who it’s from.
I’m Rob Sproule, third-generation greenhouse owner and leader at Salisbury Greenhouse — one of Canada’s top-performing independent garden centers. I’ve lived through the mess and meaning of running a multi-million dollar business with family, pressure, and a short spring window to get it all right.
THE INSIDER SECRET
O2O exists to help owners and successors
• Step into leadership with clarity
• Navigate the tensions of succession and family
• Build a team you can trust
• Get out of the weeds and into strategic thinking
• Lead without doing everything yourself
“Most leadership coaches haven’t juggled spring hiring, family conflict, and declining cash flow all at once. I have.”
– Rob Sproule
A COACHING ONLY AN INSIDER CAN PROVIDE
Owner-to-Owner Means…
• Real-world advice, not theory
• Grounded, honest coaching
• A voice that understands seasonal rhythms, staff stress, and family dynamics
• Help with the hard stuff: role clarity, burnout, conflict, and cash flow

You Don’t Have to Carry It All Alone
Whether you’re leading now or preparing to take the reins, O2O helps you:

• Build a leadership team
