Availability & Seasonality
Updated July 27, 2026 - Jump to Availability List
Glenraven is a working farm and nursery, and plant availability reflects the rhythms of propagation, growth, and the land itself. Not all plants are available at all times, and the collection changes through the season and from year to year. Plants are grown with specific timing in mind rather than held indefinitely. This helps ensure good root development, healthy plants, and realistic expectations around size and readiness.
Each growing year is planned in advance. By late winter, decisions are made about what will be propagated for the coming season based on stock plants, division potential, growing space, and previous performance. Once the seasonal list is finalized, it is published here and ordering opens. The list below reflects what is actively being grown this year rather than the full reference collection. The Plant Library functions as an index of plants grown at Glenraven over time, and inclusion there does not guarantee current or future availability. Some plants appear regularly. Others are grown intermittently, in smaller numbers, or only when conditions allow.
Availability shifts quickly as plants grow and orders come in. If something you are looking for is not listed, please ask. It might be tucked away in the field or almost ready. Plants become ready on their own schedule, and weather, temperature, and seasonal conditions all influence timing. If you are planning ahead for a project, early conversations are always helpful. The earlier the context is shared, the more likely it is that timing and quantities can be aligned.
Prices reflect small quantity retail purchases. Designers, landscapers, and trade customers are welcome to reach out for project or pre-order pricing. We also grow to order for projects that need special sizes, site-specific collections, or uncommon plants. Contract growing allows us to plan together so your plants are ready when you are.
How To Order
Email brad@glenravennursery.com with the species, quantities, and pot sizes you need. Minimum order is $50. Once confirmed, we will suggest substitutes if needed and send an invoice. Payment is accepted by e-transfer, cash, or cheque.
Orders are picked up from the farm stand adjacent the greenhouse at 2454 Fulford-Ganges Rd, Salt Spring Island on your scheduled day. To reduce plastic waste, please bring your own trays when picking up plants. If you need trays, a $1 deposit per tray will be collected at pickup. Returning pots and containers is always appreciated, as it keeps materials in use and supports our sustainability goals.
Delivery to Victoria and Duncan areas is available for larger orders over $350, with a delivery fee applied. On Salt Spring Island, we offer free delivery for orders over $300.
Glenraven is not open for browsing or drop-in visits, but pick-ups are easy to arrange, and we hold occasional weekend plant sales, announced here and on Instagram.
