Grow Native and Edible Plants

We grow and sell a variety of trees, shrubs and plants that are ideal for naturescaping, edible landscaping, and ecological restoration projects. Our plants originate predominately from local Galiano Island stock and are suitable for the unique climate of the Gulf Islands. Read on to find out how you can purchase plants and access consultation services for your project.

Saturday Market

Come find us at the Galiano Saturday Market, where we sell plants, wildcrafted tea, and food from our forest gardens.  

Consultation Services

We offer consultation for ecological restoration projects and naturescaping.  A consultation could include a site visit, choosing suitable native plants for the site conditions and recommendation for best planting locations. We may also be able to offer planning and design for more complex ecological restoration projects. 

We offer a free 1-hr site visit to all Galiano landowners 

For consultation services, please contact Adam Huggins at 250-539-2424 or email restoration@galianoconservancy.ca

Salvage

Planning to build a road, build a shed, or clear an area? Contact us first, and let us salvage the native plants from the area before they are slated for demolition. All plants will be transferred to the nursery, transplanted and used for one of our many projects.

For salvage, please contact Adam Huggins at 250-539-2424 or email restoration@galianoconservancy.ca

Volunteer

We host drop-in volunteer sessions in the nursery and food forest every Thursday from 10am – 2pm.  Learn about propagating plants from cuttings, divisions, seed, layering, and more!  For more information, go to www.galianoconservancy.ca/volunteer/
