Gardening on Hornby Island has always been a big part of peoples' lives and the culture of being in nature. From ornamental gardens to food forests, Hornby residents do it all. They also love sharing the joy their garden brings which is why we decided to showcase a handful of gardens in 2021 as a response to access limitations due to COVID-19.

Carrying the wisdom of generations of farmers, in 1977 Pam and Jim started a life on Hornby Island by cultivating the land and growing food. Islanders would come to visit their farm, and "we dug their potatoes and whatever they wanted right while they waited." Pam has never owned a driver's licence, her dancing is a joy to all, and her kindness with children, animals, and our community describes the virtues to which islanders aspire.
