This page highlights the seasonal availability of annual plants, bulbs, and edible starts at our GARDENWORKS locations during May & June.

Availability may vary by store and by weather conditions, but this guide reflects what is typically in stock by month for our South Coastal British Columbia garden centres. This is not an exhaustive list of what we carry.

Regional note: Planting times and suitable selections differ by climate. This page primarily reflects our South Coastal BC locations (Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, Vancouver, Victoria, Courtenay, and Nanaimo). Customers shopping at our Penticton (Okanagan) location should follow local in-store guidance, as seasonal timing and plant suitability differ in the Interior.
