For your garden: The Garden Centre at the Shop in the Garden has fine plants to fill those summer gaps, statuary for year round interest and SeaSoil to top up your pots and beds.
For your menu: FORAGING, The Shop in the Garden is known as Vancouver’s best for plant books and garden writing. The Shop has books covering all aspects of foraging for wild edibles. Pacific Northwest Foraging is a reference work for the identification of some 120 fruits and plants in our area with flavor descriptions, and sustainable harvesting tips. Foraged Flavor provides creative ways to prepare what you have gathered. The 88 recipes written for chef Daniel Boulud veer to sophisticated fare adapted from Boulud’s Manhattan restaurant. The Boreal Feast is a tribute to foods of Norway, Finland and Sweden. Discover how other Northern peoples use ingredients also common to our boreal forest. If you prefer to gather at the market, Eating on the Wild Side gives advice on what varieties of fruits and vegetables to choose for the most nutritional value.
For your table: The Shop carries a range of fun garden-themed tableware ready for appetizers through dessert; pair with tablecloths, napkins and coasters from the “Maritime Blues” line from Saltspring Island.
For you: to shade your head, there are hats in a myriad of materials, shapes and colours; and botanical jewellery by Vancouver’s own Jessica Jansen.
For your friends: The Shop in the Garden is the place to shop for local gifts when you are travelling abroad or to bring your visiting friends for souvenirs of their stay. We have First Nations tableware and t-shirts. Enjoy an ice cream or snack from our Garden Shed Cafe.
For staying in touch: The Shop carries a broad selection of greeting cards, Paper Blank journals designed in Vancouver, and boxed card sets from our Artist in Residence, very local.
