A Passion for Gardening

A British Columbia Tradition

By BCLNA |

British Columbia is world-renowned for the quality and quantity of its gardens, landscapes and plant materials. A passion for gardening arrived with the earliest settlers whose diaries record their plant finds, successes and failures. The passion continues today, through many home gardeners and a strong, highly professional landscape nursery industry.

BC Landscape & Nursery Association (BCLNA)

The BCLNA, formed in 1953, is a vibrant organization with over 800 members throughout the province. Members include garden centres and retail nurseries, nursery growers, the landscape trades, horticulture suppliers and educators, municipal parks and other affiliate groups.

The BCLNA works with other partners to encourage quality landscape standards and practices, and provides strong leadership in promoting homeowner and industry use of environmentally responsible practices.
