History
Conservation
We want to do more than just bring you plants that make you happy. We want to make sure the plants themselves are happy too.
Efforts to conserve carnivorous plants, plant more trees, restore ecosystems and assist seedbanks are in the works! We hope you will help us on this journey!
Sustainable practice
Some of our small but important changes we feel like we should share!
Elio’s Garden seeks to reduce its waste as much as possible. We try to do this in a way that will save our customers money as well. This means less waste for the environment, cheaper plants, and more plants in general (isn’t that the goal hehe).
Here are some of the ways we are trying to do this:
- Growing our own long fibre sphagnum moss
- Reusing plastic bags for plant go-bags
- Reusing pots
- Reusing boxes and trays
Special thanks to B.C. Communications and Canada Wide Communications for allowing us use of their equipment at the Coquitlam Farmer’s Markets.
