I would like to start a list of native plant sources on Vancouver Island, and other recommended sources (off island, mail order, etc.) for our members and readers. Please provide as much information as you can, including websites, email, etc.
Thanks

For small quantities of native seed I have had good success with:

Stellata Plants is a small specialty nursery located on the Saanich Peninsula of Vancouver Island. They offer a growing range of drought tolerant plants ⊠I follow her on Instagram and she worked in England at Beth Chatto Gardens so has great experience . She is adapting to the Island with Native Plants.
Satin Flower Plants in Saanich has a broad range of plants, but they are popular and sometimes out of stock! Isnât that wonderful⊠natives are catching on!
They also sell seeds.
They specialize in plants from southern Vancouver Island but there is overlap with us.
