I have tried to reach out. They came and put more seed down but still not successful in most of the lawn. They promised to come again but there are no guarantees on customer satisfaction. I have a young gardener and was successful in those areas of the lawn. I don't recommend.

He went on to explain that the place is not an exhibit and that it is not like butchart garden. He was sandbagging the place. Yes, it's a place to get ideas on what to do in your own home. Yes, you can buy potted plants but the plants, trees and flowers are set up like an exhibit and we're ready to impress. I fell in love with the Mediterranean garden, winter garden and the Japanese garden. The Japanese garden by far is one of the best Japanese garden I have visited and the fall colors are not even in full bloom. I can only imagine the colors during fall and the mood of the place in winter. Oh they also have a great collection of bonsai trees. A must visit and support.

There is something about Lee Valley that makes you want to build something the moment you step…read moreinside. Lee Valley has some the most unique tools and gardening implements. I simply love pouring over the catalogs, which themselves are beautifully put together. At the same time, much of the merchandise is like stepping back in time, before power tools. There are even some reprinted old books, which make fabulous gifts. Buying stuff even has an old general store feel to it. There are at least two people you must interact with at the counter and both of them were genuinely friendly. If you know absolutely nothing about the mini round edge planer you're about to purchase, that's okay as above the service counter there's a schedule of classes. Lee Valley also makes it known they're into giving back to the community with some profits going directly to charity.
