Our Story
Built From a Lifelong Passion for Horticulture
IFor over a decade, Island View Nursery has been dedicated to supplying Vancouver Island’s landscaping industry with healthy, well-grown, and dependable plant material.
Founder John Garcia built Island View Nursery from a lifelong passion for horticulture. Having owned Barker Landscaping Ltd. since the early 1980s, John understood firsthand the importance of reliable plant supply, strong root systems, and material that performs well in coastal conditions. His vision was to create a nursery designed specifically for landscape professionals — a place where quality, organization, and service support real-world project demands.
