Welcome to the “Gem ‘O the Isle”

Situated in The Cowichan Valley (warm land) this 14 acres Heritage property owes it’s name to a former owner of the property who used to call his wife the Gem of the Isle. Later on they named the property the same way, because it is a true gem. The old farmhouse was built somewhere around 1898 just after the cabin was constructed. After many previous owners we, Ben Verduin and Patty John, bought the property in 2001. We were just immigrated from Holland and ready for a new challenge. First we started working on the garden and opened our SculptureGarden in June of 2002. After that we restored the old cabin and turned it into a great place for people to spend their holiday.  After that many other projects have come up, like fixing up the old barn and making trails in our old growth forest. Today we are still working hard on our peaceful heritage hobby farm and hope our guest and visitors will enjoy it’s beauty just as much as we do.
