Boutique Nursery & Cut-Flower Farm — Richmond, BC
A Richmond landowner set out to establish a small-scale nursery and cut-flower operation on land within the Agricultural Land Reserve. The proposal sat across two approval tracks — a Notice of Intent to the Agricultural Land Commission and the City of Richmond’s farm-use requirements — and needed a farm plan that was specific to the site and credible on the agronomy rather than a generic template.
Titrin reviewed the parcel’s soils, drainage, and existing conditions and built an agricultural rationale around a realistic cropping and land-management programme, setting out what would be grown, how the land would be worked, and why the use is genuine farming consistent with keeping ALR land in production. Written with the regulator’s lens in mind, the plan gave the owner a single coherent document to support the ALC Notice of Intent while satisfying Richmond’s farm-use expectations, with direct access to the Professional Agrologist on the file throughout.
