It’s About Thyme Nursery
It’s About Thyme Nursery has a long-standing reputation for providing high-quality trees, shrubs, and perennials to residents and commercial clients across BC. While our South Burnaby location (situated within the Artisan Garden Group yard) is now closed to the general public, we continue to serve the community. Ingrid remains available for private appointments, professional landscaping product, and expert design consultations.
We specialize in:
Perennials
You will find unusual and rare as well as our reliable indigenous selection. Something for every season, any condition, every colour, food for our pollinators and a feast for our eyes.
Rhododendrons & Roses
We stock plants that originated in the arid climes of the Mediterranean, the mountains of Japan, humid conditions of the southern hemisphere, shady woodland habitat and our own rain forest.
Grasses
We carry an extensive selection of warm season, cool season, and annual grasses to support that sensation of movement to your garden. Whether planted as a complement to perennials and shrubs or featured as a savannah in a dry area, grasses offer what every other plant, shrub, and tree cannot.
Ferns
Shade-loving ferns will add a lush element to your design and bring fresh essence to the meaning of green.
Specimen and caliper trees
We have Japanese maples, conifer, beautiful flowering ornamental dogwood, magnolia, and fruit trees. We also offer large calipers for replacement or to give your garden a more established look.
Groundcover
One seldom regards the precious microscopic world within our soil. Without it, our gardens would cease to exist. At IAT we have groundcover to thrive in any climatic condition no matter the soil type… so, plant a lawn alternative, protect your eroding slope and support our intricate habitat.
All of the stock available and chosen for our clients is top quality and hardy for our zone so as to give you the best results for your investment. Ingrid Beattie is always ready to discuss ideas about your garden and offer suggestions and solutions for those hard to garden areas.
We are now almost exclusively serving our BCLNA landscape professionals with custom-made orders. Please contact us anytime with your enquiry or plant list and we will quote you with a full 360 degree solution. Call 604.454.0766 to make an appointment today.
