About Us

Welcome to Holden Lake Farm and Garden – Where Tradition Meets Innovation in Gardening!

Rooted in Quality, Growing With Purpose — 2026 at Holden Lake Farm & Garden

At Holden Lake Farm & Garden in Nanaimo, BC, 2026 marks a fresh chapter rooted in familiar values: BC grown excellence, community spirit, and island-grown quality you can see and taste.

We’re expanding what you love — vibrant plants, pesticide-free produce, and seasonal colour — with more grown in-house than ever before. From greenhouse to garden bed, we’re hands-on every step of the way.

In-House Grown Goodness

You’ll see and feel the difference. Our most-loved plants — from classic 6-pack annuals to lush hanging baskets — are now nurtured right here on-site. It’s part of our commitment to “quality you can see,” from seedling to sale.

A Longer, More Inspired Season

From the first daffodils of February to fall’s cool-season harvest, our growing season is longer, smarter, and more sustainable. With heat-tolerant “Summer Survivors,” overwintering tips, and purpose-driven plants, your garden can thrive in every season.

Old Favourites, New Stories

We know what matters to you. That’s why you’ll always find your favourites — like 2″ basket stuffers, BC strawberries, and 12″ hanging baskets — alongside inspiring new varieties curated for small-space gardening, pollinators, and kitchen gardens.

New in 2026: Grow With Purpose

This year, we’re leaning into gardening that feels good and does good. Whether it’s planting for pollinators, starting your own herb patch, or joining a seasonal workshop, Holden Lake is here to support your garden goals — big or small.

Workshops, Inspiration & More

Join us for a fresh season of hands-on workshops and creative planter days designed to spark ideas, grow skills, and bring gardeners together. These are more than events — they’re seeds of community, grown right here in Nanaimo.
