    Hello
    I am looking for moderate quantities of plants such as sword, deer and maidenhair fern, vaccinium, vine maple, oregon grape, kinnikinnick etc, also at least 1 western hazlenut in the Victoria area. I have looked at the more well known garden centres but would like to know if there are other native plant suppliers in the area.
    Thank you
    Ann

    You could contact Peel's nurseries in Mission or NATS nursery in Aldergrove, they are two of the biggest native plant commercial growers and may be able to point you to peopl they supply in your area.

    You could maybe get information from the Native Plant Study Group in Victoria.

    I should also have mentioned that Russell Nursery in North Saanich has a fairly good selection of native plants. I have bought a variety of things from them.
