Huge shout out to Sheri Radford and BC Living Magazine for raising awareness about the power of ollas!

Mayne Island Clay Works is introducing modern gardeners to an ancient system of irrigation: ollas made from terracotta clay

Spring has sprung and this Easter Weekend we are offering 10% off ollas during the Studio Tour. Save water and time in the garden this summer by irrigating with ollas made right here on Mayne Island!

Did you know that March 28th is the last frost date for Mayne!?!?!? START THE CAR, gardening season is really here! If you are wanting more Ollas for your garden this year (save time, save water, lovely to hold) we are open at the studio today 11:30-3pm. Park at HomeHardware and take the stairs beside the whale to the studio (don't you love island directions?)
