Vegetable starts have arrived! One of the most im

Vegetable starts have arrived!
One of the most impactful things you can do to reduce your waste and carbon footprint is to eat locally grown foods. You can’t get any more local than having your own back yard or balcony vegetable garden!
Our friends from @littlest.acre.organics have provided us with a wide selection of heirloom tomato plants, cherry tomatoes, tomatillos, curly kale and Rainbow chard, all started from seed, in second hand pots, and certified organic.
Quantities are limited! All items are now available on our website (but excuse the lack of photos, they literally just got delivered and I haven’t had time to source our images for each variety!)
Studies show that gardening is one of the best stress reducers, exposes you to vitamin D from the sun and a host of positive immune boosting microbes in the soil. Even Dr. Bonnie recommenced time spent outside in these trying times. Free therapy with the added bonus of fresh tomatoes! What could be better? 🍅🥬🧑🏼‍🌾🐞

Current world events can make it even more challenging than normal to focus on reducing our day to day consumer waste. We hope in our small way, we can make it easier for you to reduce unnecessary packaging and plastics in your home while still respecting social distancing. 🏡

At the same time, the slow down of manufacturing, the reduction of vehicles on the road and the sudden revival of interest in home gardening while people are self isolating have resulted in a tangible improvement in the air quality around the world. 🌄🏔🌲
We hear a lot of people saying “when things get back to normal...” but really we hope that people are using this unexpected down time to re-evaluate, reprioritize and look at what really matters in their lives and the community around them. We hope that we don’t actually “return to normal”, because normal wasn’t really working for a lot of people, let alone for the environment. We hope, with all our hearts, that instead, we as a society can “Move forward to better” and take everything we have learned while dealing with Covid 19 and build a better global community together.
💚🌎
Thank you for choosing to support locally owned small businesses in this challenging time💕

Have you had a chance to check out our online stor

Have you had a chance to check out our online store? See link in bio. All of our refillable home and body products are now posted on our online shop, as well as a large selection of plastic free and reusable homewares, personal care items, even locally sourced organic herb and vegetable seeds! 🌼🥬🍅👩🏼‍🌾 You can now place an order on line and choose the time that works best for you to pick up curb side in front of our brick and mortar shop for a safe, contact free purchasing experience. We are also offering home delivery within an 18km radius, free now through the month of June, on orders of $35 or more.
Current COVID-19 precautions mean that we can’t currently refill personal bottles, but in our ongoing commitment to reduce packaging and waste, we now offer our liquid products in glass bottles. Much like the old fashioned milk delivery system, you pay a deposit on the bottle with your purchase. When that bottle is empty, give it a good clean and return it to us and we will credit your next purchase with the deposit amount.
Let’s get through these trying times together. We don’t want to “return to normal” we are determined to move forward to a new, better way of doing business and improving our community! 💚🌎

We are super excited to announce that we have team

We are super excited to announce that we have teamed up with our friends and local farmers at Saanich Organics and are now offering 24 different varieties of certified organic vegetable, herb and pollinator attracting flower seeds!
Growing your own food is an important and rewarding way to reduce your waste. With the current global pandemic, it is more important than ever that we are aware of the fact that we live on an island and the vast majority of our goods and foods come to us by barge or ferry. Planting now means in just a few short weeks you won’t need to brave the grocery store for your basic salad or stir fry ingredients. It is also important during these times of social distancing and self isolation, to remember to get outside for fresh air and exercise and what better reason than to care for your plants? Studies show that people who garden tend to be happier, healthier and live longer! The seeds we are carrying were specifically chosen to be easy to grow in small spaces, whether you have a backyard plot or a few pots on your balcony or window sill.
While we currently have reduced our store hours of operation and are asking customers not to step inside the shop, we are offering curb side pick up sales. Please order on line or call the shop at 250-385-6829 to order and prepay over the phone and we will have your order ready to pick up at a time of your choosing between 11am and 4pm Tuesday - Saturday. Local delivery will begin on Tuesday, March 31st.
