What's different about gardening in Vancouver
Vancouver’s frequent wet days and 1,537.4 mm of normal annual precipitation make gardening closely tied to drainage, moisture, roof, and gutter checks. At Vancouver Harbour, normal daily means run from 5.3°C in January to 19.0°C in July, so maintenance needs can shift substantially through the year. In Kitsilano and the West End, describe access, planting areas, and cleanup needs clearly when arranging a garden visit.
Vancouver has many occupied homes built in 1960 or earlier and during 1961–80, so established planting areas and site conditions merit a review before cleanup, hedge trimming, or recurring maintenance. Gardening is generally unlicensed, though liability insurance is expected and regulated pesticide application requires applicable authorization. The City requires permits for private-property construction and renovations, including additions or interior-wall work; this can matter around garden-adjacent projects in Strathcona, Kerrisdale, or Marpole.

- Older housing can have established planting areas requiring careful review before cleanup.
