The Native Plant Garden

In the Native Plant Garden, you’ll find plants that you likely have noticed on hiking trails around the Okanagan Valley, such as Saskatoon and Mock Orange bushes, asters, and brown-eyed Susans.

Please note that the Native Plant Garden was updated in 2024 thanks to the generous donation of plants from XEN Nursery which made the renovation possible.

The plant list below has therefore been updated.
