Gwen and her daughters Shelby and Mackenzie, with son Gord.
Our take
Gwen used to cut hair upstairs, and the garden started in 2006 in the space of her former salon and spa. Her daughters Shelby and Mackenzie now share the running of it, with Mackenzie on the espresso machine. The greenhouse rents out from $48 an hour, and there are wreath workshops and a makers market. In 2025 the Sooke Region Chamber gave it the Retail award.
