We are a regional horticultural hub of plant knowledge and environmental stewardship. 

Our plants and our people set you up for gardening success, and we believe that success begins with choosing the right plant for the right place.

We offer a wide range of plants that thrive in Vancouver Island’s diverse growing conditions, from subtropical to extreme drought and everything in between. Whether you are looking for plants that are deer- or fire-resistant, drought- or shade-tolerant, pollinator-friendly, or are native to the area, we have the right plants for you!

Our 8 acre property offers an outstanding selection of plants and gardening supplies.

We proudly carry hundreds of varieties of fruit and ornamental trees, roses, perennials, Japanese Maples, rhododendrons, and indoor plants as well as gardening accessories such as pots, soils, seeds, and tools. We also have an extensive selection of pond plants and water gardening supplies. 

Our plant selection changes daily as we source unusual, hard-to-find, and new plant varieties from all over North America. We focus our own growing efforts on vegetables, annuals, and ornamental trees. We stand by the plants that we sell with our plant guarantee, so you can trust that you are taking home a happy and healthy plant.

We are a family-owned and -operated business proudly serving the Cowichan Valley community since 1973.
