Announcement: Master Gardeners will be in the Garden Centre every Saturday & Sunday 12 p.m. - 4 p.m. to answer your gardening questions, beginning April 18th.

In the Garden Centre

The Garden Centre receives weekly shipments of seasonal appropriate plants, both from commercial growers and from our very own volunteers. We also have pots and Seasoil for your plants. At the moment there is a good selection of blueberries, tayberries and raspberries, and plum trees in-stock. There is also a variety of apple trees grown on mini-dwarf rootstock which are great for container growing and flavourful herbs for delicious summer cuisine.

In the Native section, we have a variety of plants from our specialist suppliers who enthusiastically support our customers with one of the best selections in the Vancouver area. We continue to offer the UBC plant introduction, Ribes saguineum ‘White Icicle’, and a good assortment of ferns.  
In Ornamental plants, the magnolias have been selling very quickly but there are a few still available. Rugosa, climbing roses and Clematis have all arrived. Spring blooming heathers are already in and our Spring shipment of new Rhododendrons from the Species Foundation in Washington will arrive in early May.
 

In the Shop
Seeds are here! We have West Coast Seeds selected for our region, seeds collected and packaged by the UBC Farm, and our own line of open pollinated seeds of popular ornamental plants collected in the UBC Botanical Garden by our volunteer Friends of the Garden in new packaging for this year.

Some of our other product highlights include:
  • mason bee houses in a variety of styles to attract these wonderful pollinators to your garden. An excellent guide by Dr. Margriet Dogterom, who designed the houses, is also available.
  • beautiful tablecloths and napkins from the April Cornell line in spring patterns and colors, serving pieces from Portmeirion, and classic William Morris patterned boxed porcelain mugs from Maxwell & Williams.
  • garden tools for every job, Vancouver’s best selection of garden books, and all manner of giftware for your gardening friends.
