About the Garden

Christina’s Garden is a small market garden on Mayne Island, one of the Southern Gulf Islands located in the Salish Sea between Vancouver and Victoria, BC, Canada.

We put love and care into producing a variety of delicious and nutritious shoots and microgreens for year round sales to Mayne Islanders and folks in Victoria and on the mainland. We also offer a variety of home grown vegetables, seasonal flower bouquets and bedding plants for home gardens at our roadside stand and the Saturday Market on Mayne Island.
