Shipping policy

Shipping Policy


We do not ship PLANTS (potted, bare root, or bulbs). We can ship seeds locally within BC. 

*We are unable to ship SEEDS (seed packets, seed blends, bulk seed) outside of BC. Please refer to The Area We Serve below.

We ship seed year-round, but the majority of seed becomes available in early fall after it is collected from our seed fields, so you get the freshest seed possible. Standard seed packet orders will require 5 to 7 business days to package and prepare for outgoing shipping. Bulk Seed orders may take up to 10 business days to prepare prior to shipping. Custom seed orders may require more time to prepare, please contact us by email for custom seed orders. Shipping rates and times are determined via Canada Post and subject to change.

Delivery Policy

Yes, we can deliver! We charge a mileage fee of $0.83 per kilometre plus travel time hourly at $70/hour with a 1-hour minimum from 2716 Dooley Road in Saanich or 4286 Metchosin Road in Metchosin. We share a delivery van with the wonderful Sea Bluff Farm and have Deliveries typically go out Thursdays and Fridays and require a minimum of 5 business days' notice prior to the requested delivery date. We do not offer delivery every day at this time. Although we do not have a packaging facility to accommodate all possible external courier requirements, we are happy to load plants directly onto a variety of vehicles. Please contact us to discuss at info@satinflower.ca

The Area We Serve
We dream that everyone would appreciate and celebrate the unique nature of their own home place. For us, that place is southern Vancouver Island. We grow plants that are ecologically and culturally important to Southern Vancouver Island and do our best to make plants available to local projects. All of our plants have ultimate sources within the area indicated below.

Most of our plants are well suited to southern and eastern Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and adjacent areas. If you are planning a project outside of this region, be aware that not all of our plants will be native to your area. Please check reference materials for your local plants and ecosystems to ensure that you aren’t planting non-native plants. We do not ship seeds outside of British Columbia. Within British Columbia, some sales may be limited depending on your region, particularly in the case of species that are naturally restricted to southern Vancouver Island. Custom seed blend species may be limited to plants that occur naturally in your region. We are always happy to discuss special circumstances!

If you are outside of our region but interested in native plants for your region, please let us know! We are happy to help connect you with growers and nurseries in your area to the best of our ability.
