Summer is well upon us: this is a terrific time to bring visitors to the Garden, especially the Food, Physic and Alpine Garden and it isn't too late to buy UBC Botanical Garden seeds of popular perennials.
The Garden Centre has plenty of summer blooming perennials to fill in any developing gaps, a good selection of native plants and many interesting shrubs appropriate for the smaller garden. Our volunteer growers continue to supply intriguing plants, often propagated from the Botanical Garden’s collections. The yellow labels indicate these special offerings. We also carry statuary, bird-baths and terracotta pots to compliment your plantings and Seasoil to replenish your pots and beds. For the bargain hunters, fruit trees, herbs, Clematis and some other plants have been marked down.
With watering restrictions upon us, consider the popular Dramm Revolver nozzle with nine settings to meet your hand-watering needs. The soaker and shower settings are perfect for close watering of your delicate plants and other spray settings are more appropriate for targeting plants out of reach. To keep you hydrated, we have wonderful wood-patterned double-walled water bottles designed by Haida artist Ernest Swanson from Haida Gwaii.
For your home, or your visiting friends, there are new patterns in the Vancouver-based “Native Home” indigenous-themed tea towels, as well as new pieces in our tableware offerings bearing Coast Salish patterns.
For your patio table, we have a cheerful line of unbreakable patio dishes for worry free gatherings.
