Woodland Wonderland
Perched on the northernmost tip of picturesque Salt Spring Island, Fraser's Thimble Farm is a three-acre destination nursery specializing in rare, unusual, and native plants. We have an extensive selection of perennials, trees, shrubs, and groundcovers that sit alongside our specialties year-round. Visit us in person and spend an afternoon wandering through our woodland farm and exploring over 10,000 varieties of plants.
Rare, Remarkable, and Really Cool
We've built a reputation for the weird, the wonderful and the hard-to-find. Our rare and unusual plant collection includes coveted specimens from around the world - perfect for collectors, curators, and curious gardeners alike. Whether it's a tropical oddity or a lesser-known alpine gem, each plant is grown with care and respect for its origins. If you're looking for something a little off the beaten path, you're in the right place.

Employee Of The Month
When you visit the farm, you'll see Lucy hanging around or dozing in the sun by the shop. She's a friendly dog, but we ask that you not pet her. We know that's disappointing to many, but as she gets older, her comfort and safety are our top priority, and that, unfortunately, means no pats (even gentle ones).
Follow us on Facebook for the latest plant updates, the Native Plant of the Day, and seasonal specials!
Veggie Starts Are Here!
Spring has sprung and veggie starts are here at the farm! Swing by and pick up everything you need for this year's veggie garden.
Build a Backyard That Belongs in BC
Native plants aren’t just pretty faces - they’re essential to a thriving landscape. They’ve adapted over thousands of years to the rhythms of this land: its soil, its rainfall, and its wildlife. That means they’re resilient. They need less water, fewer chemicals, and no hand-holding.
But more than that, they belong. Native plants feed the birds and pollinators we rely on, rebuild the food chain from the ground up, and help protect our ecosystems from collapse. Their roots run deep - literally and figuratively - holding soil in place, filtering water, and enriching the land.
Concrete Creations
Looking for that special something for your outdoor space? Visit us at the nursery and check out our selection of hand-crafted concrete creations, pots, birdbaths, and so much more.
