Island Flower Growers
Island Flower Growers is a producer-owned co-operative of cut-flower growers on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada.
We help build the strength and vitality of Vancouver Island's local flower community by:
-
Operating a weekly, online wholesale market, which makes high quality, specialty blooms and foliage more accessible to our discerning clients
-
Helping local growers build successful and rewarding businesses around their exceptional product
-
Advocating for flower farming's significant role in stewarding our region's environmental and community wellbeing


Our Values
Quality: Our experienced growers specialize in producing hard-to-find, on-trend blooms at a professional level. This special product—alongside an abundance of everyone’s beloved favourites—must meet our rigorous standards before it is delivered to your door.
Local & Fresh: Because we grow in the same region as our clients, we strive to make the field-to-table journey short so that our beautiful blooms can be enjoyed for as long as possible.
Seasonal: We take advantage of one of the most beautiful climates in North America to grow gorgeous varieties in their appropriate season.
Future-focused: We think about what we can do to leave the land we grow on in good condition for future generations. For us, that means avoiding chemical fertilizers or sprays, synthetic pesticides and herbicides, and choosing growing practices (such as certified organic, non-certified organic, beyond organic, no-till) that we research and believe in.
