getting wwoof ready

Yesterday we got the outdoor shower at the garden house working and I’m really happy about it.  Hot water for the shower and the garden kitchen sink too!  It has taken what seems like forever but we’re slowly inching our way towards being a wwoof host.  So much fun!  If you don’t know what wwoof  [. . .]

When did this little maple tree get all it’s leaves?!!  There’s so much happening in the garden these days that I don’t notice it all when it’s happening.  A couple days ago, I walked by this spot and was struck by how lovely this potted tree looked in the dappled light against the cob wall,  [. . .]

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.
