This page highlights a selection of key trees, shrubs, and fruiting plants typically available at our GARDENWORKS garden centres throughout the season. Availability may vary by location, weather, and growing conditions. 

Please note: This is not an exhaustive list of all the amazing trees & shrubs we carry. Our garden centres receive regular arrivals throughout the season, and in-store selection often extends well beyond what is listed here. 

Regional note: The timing on this page primarily reflects our South Coastal British Columbia locations (Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, Vancouver, Victoria, Courtenay, Nanaimo, Oak Bay, and Colwood). Customers shopping at our Penticton (Okanagan) location should follow local in-store guidance, as perennial availability and planting times differ in the Interior.
