Have no fear – you can still shop here!
Our Vancouver store has obtained a movement certificate so that our customers can purchase plants and soils, no matter where they live!
What Do The Restrictions Mean?
- Soil, leaves and outdoor plants cannot be moved outside of the regulated area (but you can dispose of them in your area)
- This action is to stop the spread of the Japanese Beetle, a destructive and invasive alien species detected in Vancouver as of 2021
- Movement restrictions are in place during the Japanese Beetle flight period (June 15 – October 15)
For all other Japanese Beetle inquiries and questions, see below.
