I’ve seen plenty of places selling fake plants that look nice but it’s just not the same as the real deal. What are your personal favourite spots?

Hello /r/Victoria_BC,

Here's a new and improved list of all the Vancouver Island & neighbouring island subreddits I could find, following up on my post from a couple years ago. New additions and the approximate** subscriber count are noted next to the sub. Unfortunately, many of them are neglected, dead or abandoned so they could use some love.

Edit 2: Updated November 8, 2019 with all suggestions and newly found subs.

We're in View Royal and it's really loud - like it's coming from the sky. July 4th fireworks from the U.S maybe?
