I am looking for help with planting rhododendrons and other plants in the ground and in containers, readying the garden for
garden tours. There might even be some wood chopping.
Your willingness will not only be rewarded with good meals and
your private cabin but I would gladly take you sight seeing and
and a picnic.
A three-season display garden and nursery near Lake Cowichan on Vancouver Island, B.C.
More a wild plant sanctuary than a "traditional" manicured garden, it epitomizes the philosophy that a garden should be in harmony with its natural surroundings.
The garden contains a rich variety of conditions, which allows the exploration of diverse garden themes. Japanese-style bridges and gates, as well as trellises and pergolas offer important focal points, while strategically placed benches invite you to rest and enjoy the scenery.

Visitors are invited to tour Mayo Creek Gardens to see how native and ornamental plants can be blended in harmonious ways. The garden is also the venue for several events, workshops and group tours (provided by special arrangement) during the summer months.
