Congratulations on the success of the Organic Islands Festival.
It has become an annual celebration of our thriving organic community.
Carolyn Herriot, The Garden Path Organic Plant Nursery
An absolutely fantastic show and great weather to boot. That is to say, all that you were in
charge of (and weren't in charge of) was excellent! Level Ground Trading had a great show - the
visitors were great to meet with.
Stacey Toews, Fair Trade and Social Justice Advocate
Level Ground Trading, Saanichton, BC
We had a willing audience with positive attitude, receptive and open to dialogue, interested and unafraid
to stop and actually enter a booth, pick up a brochure, and start up a conversation. That was an experience
very different form the regular garden trade shows. The beautiful extensive grounds aided in that: people
spread around without rush or crowding; most everybody had a smile on their face all day!
Christina Nikolic, Stewardship Natural Landscape Design
We did come and enjoy the music, food, people and the surroundings at the festival this weekend. It was
awesome! The music was great, food was incredible and we left with a fistful of information and a warm fuzzy
feeling about being part of something good.
Michele Murphy, Victoria, BC
We’ve been getting rave reviews about the week-end and what a great event you produced. The feedback has
all been positive and everyone is looking forward to the next Organic Islands Festival .

Executive Director, Horticulture Centre of the Pacific
