Welcome to our website – a great starting point for information and horticultural advice for your West Coast garden. Our staff gardeners have a wealth of practical advice and garden tips based on their experience in their own gardens in Victoria, the North Shore, and in and around Vancouver, and look forward to sharing these with you on the web, by telephone, or face-to-face on your next visit to one of our neighbourhood garden centres.  Click on the “contact us” button on the navigation bar above for contact information or locations of each of our six garden centres.

May is truly a pivotal month for West Coast gardeners. Between the beginning and end of the month the weather pattern changes enough that when it comes to planting and garden care, almost anything goes! A continuous warming trend allows us to plant many bedding plants with confidence. Early in the month, take care to protect transplants overnight if temperatures drop, and wait unit mid – to late May to plant heat loving annuals & vegetables like impatiens, cucumbers, zucchini, basil and peppers outdoors.  Anytime in May is ideal for planting trees, shrubs, and perennials. If you have questions, consult one of the many experienced gardeners at our garden centres, or drop us a line at greenthumb@gardenworks.ca.

For Mother’s day our garden centres fill to bursting with hanging baskets, planters and amazing flowering plants that make exceptional gifts for Mom. Our selection of interesting perennials, annuals and shrubs is at its peak through the month, with many captivating plants coming in to our garden centres daily and then going home with eager gardeners just as quickly – there are so many gems to choose from, it is difficult not to be inspired!

In addition to all the amazing plants that fill every nook and cranny of our garden centres, we’ve recently received several shipments of ceramic pottery as well as some classic outdoor furniture. The rest of the garden necessities and accessories  – soils, fertilizers, tools and more – may be taken for granted, but of course we have them all – Everything to Make Your Garden Work. Please stop by for a visit - we look forward to seeing you soon!
