| Lantern's Edge | About Us | Plant Nursery | Vedder Invasives | Garden Services |
We know this land has been home to many people, plants and animals before us. Our work takes place
on the unceded traditional territory of the Ts’elxwéyeqw tribe of the Stó:lō people. We work to
protect the ecological bounty this land holds for future generations.
Lantern's Edge is our home and property on the Vedder River in Chilliwack. We don't own it
but we treat it like it's ours, fixing it up over time and restoring the gardens. With forest on
one side and the river on the other, we are lucky to live surrounded by nature, with eagles,
hummingbirds, deer, snakes, bobcats and the occasional black bear passing through. Using this as
inspiration, we grow native plants and other perennials in our small backyard nursery, and help
restore the adjacent forest by controlling invasive species, replanting with native plants, and
picking up garbage.
Cam is our head gardener. Cam found Lantern's Edge and moved to Chilliwack in 2018 after a
renoviction in Vancouver, and they've been working since then restoring the house, property and
surrounding lands. Cam has been gardening and exploring forests for over 25 years.
Basil is our head talker. Basil handles our marketing and outreach, working to connect with the
community around the importance of native plants and habitat restoration. Basil loves travel, books
and local theatre.
Kodos is our chief morale officer and has been supervising us since joining our team with his
late brother Kang in 2023. Kodos is a good teacher, and reminds us to take the occasional break to
play and rest.
