We have updated some of the webpages but Covid, the Hot weather, increased demand and the lack of labour has caught up with us. The web pages up now withe the exception of the bulb list are for reference only. Pricing and availability may have changed. We have a very large inventory and encourage all that can to visit the Nursery. We will be shipping bulbs orders this fall as well as some plant orders. Email you plants list in to verifiy what is available and we will do our best to let you know. We are very busy serving customers, maintaining the nursery and producing new product to keep the nursery full. The quietest time in the nursery is early in the day, so if you want to be alone in the nursery, come then. Please wear a mask, read and follow the instructions and stay 6 feet apart from others and our staff at all times.
Our pages are often long so please scroll down to view the complete listing. Our nursery is located on SaltSpring Island, the largest of B.C's Gulf Islands. We have over 3 acres of nursery stock including many plants not listed on the website. We are open to the public and our hours are at the bottom of this page. We look forward to helping you create a beautiful garden full of treasures from around the world. 2021 catalogue coming in mid July
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.
