Seeds

In 1920, The Gardens started the Benvenuto Seed Company when it began collecting and selling seeds through its annual seed catalogue. Although seeds are no longer collected by our gardeners, all of the seeds sold from our Seed & Gift Store are meticulously hand packaged by our Gift Store staff. The delicate Tibetan Blue Poppy is the only remaining seed type still harvested and supplied by our gardeners, and hand packaged by our staff.

Food

Find a delicious gift from our selection of foods, from Canadian maple syrup, cookies, smoked salmon, jams, and jellies, to local artisan chocolate, honey, and treats.

Gifts & More

We carry a unique array of gifts and exclusive designs by local, BC, First Nations, and Canadian artisans.
