I only had a limited amount of time in the area and wanted to find a boutique with locally made artisan pieces from and was lucky to find this one in one of the travel guides at my hotel. I picked up a few different items, a small bird made from re-purposed metal, a lovely necklace, a stylish cell phone holder, and some special sea salt. So much fun. I'll be back for sure the next time I'm in the area!

Very disappointed! I…read morepurposely found a local florist to send my flowers, as I wanted to support a local business. I ordered flowers for my friend that had surgery and is in now in a hand cast. Their website is not very descriptive and certainly doesn't state basic omissions. The florist delivered an arrangement without a vase and that still needs to be cut to suit whatever vase my friend can find. As my friend only has use of one hand, what should have been an easy to enjoy thoughtful gift, turns out to be a hassle. They grossly overcharged for the same arrangement I could buy at the grocery store.

love this shop, and love the new owners, they did a beautiful job on the flowers for my sister.read more

This is a lovely little herb farm that would be easy to miss on your drive between Ladysmith and…read moreNanaimo. The signs on the way out were somewhat difficult to see due to overgrown weeds the last time I was out that way, which didn't help. However, if you can find your way out there, it's worth a look! The farm is very compact, but they've managed to fit a lot in! The grounds are completely planted with the herbs they sell, and the first thing I generally do when I get out there is to take a walk around and enjoy the scents, which change with every step you take. There's a bench and a small gazebo for resting, and a small fishpond in one corner. In the middle of all this stand several small wooden buildings, covered from the elements but open to the air, wherein they house the ready-to-sell herbs. The prices are highly reasonable and the signage is useful for not only telling you what herb you're looking at, but what it can be used for as well. The main building is, again, fairly small, but they have a very well-stocked gift shop full of products that are made from the same herbs they grow and well, and the prices are, again, very reasonable. All in all, if you're looking for a place to shop locally, this is a great place to stop - not to mention the relaxation of being far enough away from the highway to enjoy our Island weather - and the sound of wildlife all around you - in peace and quiet.
