Fraser's Thimble Farm

The rare plant specialist

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 7,000 varieties of plants.

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).

Ferns

Ferns have to be, without a doubt, one of the most versatile, albeit, underestimated and underused groups of plants in the gardening world. We strive to grow the largest selection of hardy garden ferns available and hope to be your ‘one stop’ source for these incredible plants.
