Prickly Pear brings spring fever to Steveston

When summer seems far away and you need a quick pick-me-up, why not saunter into a local favourite nursery - the Prickly Pear. 

Multicoloured flowers burst out of their pots, arranged in delightful rows and seem to promise that life is about to get better... soon.

Even for those with purple thumbs, like me, this alone makes living here so special. And, bonus, there is even ample free parking for the store patrons. 

Yup, beautiful flowers are always in season at the Prickly Pear.

And, psssst, you may even catch sight of the resident black cat, throwing you a contemptuous glance as it threads its way among planters, boxes, and all things that make up a beautiful garden.
