This year we travelled more than 15 thousand kilometres in search of new treasures to offer. Usually these plants are worth the wait and this year's introductions are no exception. It’s been a busy year and we’d really like to thank Jeane and Geoff for their hard work, dedication and perhaps most importantly, senses of humour. We all put in some long hours and a lot of laughter makes everything easier for all of us. We hope you have some fun as you browse the catalogue and get as excited about the upcoming year in the garden as we are. Have a great gardening year,
Native and North American Native (N.A. Native) plants are indicated as such. Native means plants that are indigenous to the Pacific Northwest; which for our purposes is defined as Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Northern California. In most cases; however, the plants are native to British Columbia. Plant height (Ht.) or occasionally flower height (Fl.Ht.) is given next in our descriptions, followed by hardiness zone (Z). Most of coastal B.C. is zone 8; the Gulf Islands and most of Victoria are zone 9. To determine what zone you are in, refer to the table on page 2 and remember that the temperatures listed are the twenty year, annual low temperature range in Celsius or Fahrenheit. They are not the absolute low for the zone. As all plants are container grown, we state pot size along with plant prices to give an indication of the size of the plant, which will vary depending on species. Pot sizes are standard nursery pots; 1gal = 1gallon pot etc. Prices listed are F.O.B. our farm. Shipping and mail order information is at the back of the catalogue. Hours of Operation:
