Bryan Emery, proprietor of Bryan’s Plants http://bryansplants.com/index.jsp, started growing orchids when he was ten years old, continuing to grow and cultivate flowers since then. It is truly a labour of love, with particular interest in unique plants and the “diversity in the plant world.”
His collection has been evolving for over 25 years: annuals, perennials, houseplants, cacti, succulents. He has worked hard to offer new plant material into our market. Based in Victoria, BC, Bryan’s Plants ships plants throughout Canada.
Bryan’s home garden was featured in the Victoria Conservatory of Music’s 2022 Musical Mother’s Day Garden Tour. He is active in exhibiting entries in Cacti and Succulent societies, the VI Rock and Alpine Society and the Victoria Lily Society, where he won the 2023 Show Grand Prize for his vast number of amazing entries. He can also be found selling plants at many shows and cool pop-up plant sales in our vicinity, such as the popular Plantaholics Sale.
