The colours of fall ❤️

I will be open until the end of November this year! There is still lots of time to get your gardening done. Fall is the best time to get your trees, shrubs, perennials and some seed in the ground! Still a couple Cedar Farmers Markets (Oct 26 and Nov 9), otherwise Open Wed to Sun 10 - 4.

There is just something about this time of year!

We grow for the wildlife. The Chickadees have been feasting this fall! ❤️

It’s been a busy time collecting, sorting, and packing seeds! Native and non-native seeds are available. Go to www.onthepatio.ca for a list 🌱

So much happening at the Nursery these days! Lots of inventory and starting the Cedar Farmers Market on Mother’s Day! May 11! I will be there every Sunday until October 26! And a Xmas Market in November! Live Xmas Trees 🌲

Mounties in Nanaimo say there’s been an uptick in reports of drinks being tampered with at nightclubs around the city, prompting RCMP to team up with Crime Stoppers and venues for a new awareness campaign. VIU Graphic Design students created posters for bar washrooms: cheknews.ca/uptick-in-sp...
