Welcome to The Garden Path Centre, Victoria, on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada. Since 1990 we have been a plant nursery and display garden advocating for organic gardening, greater food self-sufficiency and seed saving. The nursery closed in 2006 to focus on the production of 'Seeds of Victoria' (certified organic IOPA 1406), educational books and programmes which support the 'Grow Your Own Food' movement.

In 2009, we become an educational Centre offering events, demonstrations and workshops presented by local experts and educators.
