An amazing wonderland of plants including trees and shrubs of all types and sizes.
This is a very busy nursary. Plan on spending a bit of time to explore.
Lots of pottery to choose from. Potting soil available. Helpful staff though they are often a bit overwhelmed with customers.
Now autumn and the crowds are dormant, but not the plants. Shrubs and potted trees are good choices with lots of professional assistance available.
Many gardening tools and garden decorations are on sale. Christmas shopping?

Haven't actually visited the nursery but was looking for parts for my Halls greenhouse. Nathan was very helpful in providing pricing and shipping quote to the mainland. Great communication and fast shipping. Will now be able to keep my greenhouse going for many more years. If I am ever in the area I will definitely have to call in.

Today was my first visit. It is quite a drive from in town in Victoria but definitely worth it. The staff are phenomenal. They are friendly and very knowledgeable. I went to look at the fabulous Japanese maple selection. One of their staff members was able to help me choose a new one and to give me lots of helpful advice for training its growth and repotting it. It was the most helpful advice I have ever had on tree care. There is an interesting selection of pottery, native plants, shrubs and many other items. The membership program is $10 and one receives 10% off of most items for being a member. I will definitely return.

By far the best nursery on southern Vancouver island. Their plants are gorgeous and locale I’d beautiful but it’s the staff that sets them apart. Every single one of the team are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. It’s always a pleasure!

This is an excellent privately owned nursery. Staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly. The stock is well edited, and there is a great selection of native plants here. They can arrange delivery for large purchases such as trees and if you buy a yearly membership you save even more. Highly recommended.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff and very good product. If you are not sure what you need and want to ensure you get good quality plants that have been well cared for prior to purchase, this is the place to go for information and help in making your selection for your garden. A $10.00 annual membership gets you a 10% discount on regular priced items.

They advertise being authorized sellers of David Austin roses, yet don't adhere to David Austin's 5 year guarentee. Staff were very consending telling me (a master gardener) that I was mistaken and that it is a 1 year guarantee. Staff were clearly uneducated and said David Austin's 5 year guarantee doesn't exist.

Additionally, there is 0 signage. When walking through a green house that had been opened every other time I've visited, I was yelled at for being in an area wasn't yet open.. yet there was no signage? Nor were any areas roped off. How we were supposed to know that, is beyond me? Instead of politely telling us their mistake, Staff yelled at us and treated us like we had done something wrong.

All this to say, I won't be back.
