Saanich Native Plants offers a wide selection of plants and seeds that are native to southern Vancouver Island.  Our plants are propagated from our own stock and are local in origin. Saanich Native Plants resides on the Coast Salish Territories of  the W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples.

Saanich Native Plants provides consultation to private landowners and land managers in selecting appropriate species, planting methods, site preparation, and maintenance.  We are happy to accommodate custom orders.

We have been part of Haliburton Community Organic Farm since 2013 and all of our plants and seeds are certified organic (IOPA #1305-1958). We do not use any chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or hormones to grow our plants.

The Lochside Meadow planting and seeding on September 22nd was a great success! More than 2000 native plants planted and a half acre seeded along the Lochside Trail on BC Hydro Land. Come see this pollinator meadow of more than 50 species Spring 2019.

Planting Indigenous Food Gardens throughout the SD61 School District lead by Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, SD61, Farm2SchoolBC and funded through The Horner Foundation and Ministry of Health. Many others are helping along the way like Saanich Native Plants, Habitat Acquisition Trust, and Peninsula Landscape Supplies. Special thank you to Sarah Rhude, Aboriginal Arts and Culture Facilitator with SD61, for her amazing guidance and energy making these projects a success! This week we planted one such garden at Spectrum Community School with indigenous students from Spectrum and teachers throughout the district.
