Still Looking for Rental

I most likely have a place for October so if anyone knows of a temporary rental through June to October. Part time and summer residents, I can make myself scarce if you are planning to stay on Thetis for a short span this summer if you think you may have a rental for limited time. 

Please contact me at work at 250 246-3464 or leave a message on my phone 250 246-7917

• Rhubarb Custard Bars (the BEST spring dessert made with Jollity Rhubarb)
• Gomashio (dehydrated Jollity kale, dried kelp, organic toasted sesame and sunflower seeds, sea salt, dried lemon zest - amazing salad or soup topper or sprinkle on freshly buttered bread or naan) 
• Home Grown Living Foods U-bake Keto Bread Mix (so quick and easy... Gluten & Grain Free and full of flavour)

Plus... lots of pretty 2" and 4" annuals to fill your baskets, pots and garden beds. Bags of organic compost and potting mix.
