Greater Victoria, BC, located within the the traditional territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Esquimalt and Songhees), Malahat, Pacheedaht, Scia'new, T'Sou-ke, and W̱S�NEĆ (Pauquachin, Tsartlip, Tsawout, Tseycum) Peoples, boasts not only the warmest year-round climate in all of Canada, but also contains distinct micro-climates throughout the region. This unique corner of Vancouver Island is naturally suited to a flourishing variety of wild native plants, towering forests, lush gardens, rocky beaches, and vibrant urban greenspaces.

Plants of Greater Victoria, a companion to the popular guidebook Trees of Victoria, features more than 200 species of wild flowers, berries, ferns, bushes, and marine plants to observe and enjoy--as well as a number of toxic invasives. Covering the capital region from Victoria proper to Sooke, Metchosin, Langford, Oak Bay, Uplands, Saanich, and Sidney, this easy-to-use guide highlights the taxonomic origins, key characteristics, traditional uses, and best viewing spots. With clear, concise descriptions and stunning photography, this guide is a must for nature-loving locals and visitors alike.
