What’s Happening at Russell Nursery?

Christmas Trees have Arrived!

We have a large variety of both Douglas Fir and Grand Fir cut trees (all island grown) as well as various live trees now in stock. Come enjoy a cup of hot apple cider, hot chocolate or herbal tea and warm yourself by the fire while you’re here.

New products we’re excited to offer this Christmas season:

Felco gardening tools, Nature Lion mushroom kits, Nature Lion mushroom coffee, Woodstock windchimes, DIY sprouting & microgreens supplies, waxed amaryllis bulbs, and Agra-wool natural floral foam as an alternative to Oasis.

We’re also happy to offer giftwrapping by donation this holiday season with all donations going to the Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank.

Russell Nursery is proud to sponsor the keynote speaker at the Mixing It Up conference in 2025.

Victoria Master Gardeners will host the Mixing It Up conference on February 1st, 2025 at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney. See below for more details.
