TL;DR/The Short Version: Greenhouse that sells plants in…read moreNavan. Prices are lower than other speciality plant shops and they have rarer/less common species. The Long Version: I'm late to the plant party, but I recently started getting into plants. I look for low maintenance plants that thrive on neglect, lol. I started with air plants, which I bought at Wild Willy's, which is near my house. There I saw these strange plants called Living Stones/Lithops. I had never seen these before and they fascinated me. I decided to do more research on them. I discovered that during the Winter and Summer they only need to be watered once or not at all the entire season. And in the Spring and Fall they only need watering once every month or two. That is super low maintenance! I was talking to one of my coworkers about them and she said she saw them at Robert Plante and she was going that weekend. After a few texts and photos back and forth, she picked one up for me. I was thrilled to pay only $12.99 for them instead of $18 which was the price at Wild Willy's. The Lithops are cool and unusual and I love them. I decided to go to the store myself to poke around. Navan is a bit of a hike for me, but it's not far from Orleans, where my parents live, so when I was out there visiting my parents, I asked my mom if she wanted to go look at some plants and she did, and one of my nieces also wanted to join. So off we went. The place is huge. So many plants! I loved just looking around. They had succulents (my favourite type of plant), cacti, air plants, regular leafy plants (lol, I know that's not the proper term, but y'all know what I'm talking about), and even carnivorous plants. They had plants of all sizes from tiny to huge. They had olive trees and kumquat trees and so much more. I ended up getting more Lithops because I found some red/orange ones. They were in a smaller pot and only $6.99. I also got an air plant for $4.99. My mom also got an air plant. Hers was a bit bigger so it was $5.99. And she got a succulent that looks like a rose for $6.99. There's a little food truck inside the greenhouse that sells coffee and other drinks and also hotdogs, sandwiches and snacks. I got my niece some ice cream from the food truck, which is called the YOLO Coffee Truck. I'll write a separate review for the food truck. Staff were pleasant. I needed help finding some Haworthia Cooperi, a plant I really wanted to get and staff were able to take me to them. Unfortunately they only had the pointy leaf variety and I was looking for the rounded leaf variety :( I had such a good time at the greenhouse even though I didn't get a Haworthia Cooperi like planned. Lots of free parking in their private parking lot. Review #58 (2025)

The bushes are gone, but the space is crying for new items to display there, although I have now planted a few smaller items. Those wild rose bushes are impossible to find in the stores! Lowes has them planted in the parking lot, but none in the store. The staff doesn't even know what I'm asking for! At least I could show them... ... Which is more than I could say for Richmond Nursery. :-( There are no wild rose bushes in the nursery or nearby. They had a lot of other stuff which was ok, but not what I want. Mind you, the nursery is quite big, and the staff was helpful trying to find something that might be suitable. For me, the rose bushes they had on offer were nice, but were about $30.00 each, which is more than I want to pay when I'd need 4 or 5 to fill the space. So, I'm still looking...

TL;DR/The Short Version: Garden Centre with an indoor plants…read moresection. Lots of seeds available too. The Long Version: I didn't realize that this store had indoor plants. I thought they just sold seeds and gardening supplies. However, my sister-in-law who knows I'm crazy about plants right now found a video on YouTube showing this store's newly renovated plants section. So I had to check it out. They have a lot of stuff. They have books about plants and even cute crocheted/knitted plants too. I came with 2 goals in mind. The first was to find a small terra cotta plant pot saucer (about 2" in diameter) and the second was to look at their indoor plants. I found the saucer, but it was $2.29 for one. I can get them at Dollarama for $1.50 for 3 but they are a bit bigger, like 2.5 inches. So I'm going to hold out for now. I might just end up getting the bigger ones to save some money. I enjoyed looking at their plants. They had Lithops, my favourite plant, but only green ones and reddish/orangey ones, which I already have. I'm looking for purple ones or colours I don't have already. They also had Fenestraria Rhopalophylla (Baby Toes) for only $9.99, cheaper than at most other places, but they weren't in good condition, so I passed. They had lots of string of pearls which were in excellent shape though. I found it odd that some plants were thriving while others were in rough shape. Anyway, I had fun poking around the store. I'm going to return with my husband to check out their organic vegetable seeds. He's in charge of our backyard vegetable garden ;) Lots of free parking available in their private parking lot. Watch out for potholes. Lots of pot holes on the road leading up to the store and in their parking lot. Review #82 (2025)

I wish they had longer hours but I get it. I love that they are making native plants a huge priority, and have made not selling invasive species a thing! More nurseries could learn from them!

The Long Version: Given the name of the store, I expected more strange and unusual plants, but I had actually taken a look at their website before coming in, so I knew they didn't have Conophytums or other exotic Mesembs, but I still wanted to stop by to take a look. They may have had some unusual non-succulents, but I'm not particularly familiar nor interested in those types of plants, lol. The store is nicely arranged and staff were pleasant. They welcomed me as I entered and let me know they were available if I needed anything, but I was left to browse on my own, which I prefer anyway. I enjoyed looking around. They had several Curly Bonnie Spider Plants, and I admired how they were so compact and curly, while mine at home is a bit unruly with some straight leaves poking out, lol. They had some pretty pots, but they were a bit pricey for my budget ($14 for a small 2.5 inch pot). Plants looked well cared for. Street parking only. Review #119 (2025)

I wanted a cute plant with the pot .. and realized the pots are hand made and ceramic. It's a small local shop in Ottawa and it was super fabulous. The service was alright.. not very welcoming at first and they were pretty annoyed to see a customer and took a while to get help. The actual pot is a lil pricey but the plants are decently priced. The pot was like 42$ and plants varried between 5-13$ I got the Pink lady / callisia it was so beautiful and fell in love with it. Had to get it .. overall it a beautiful place but maybe get your pots / ceramics somewhere else as they're quite expensive !!

TL;DL/The Short Version: Home improvement/hardware store…read more Very big. Ok selection of indoor plants in March. The Long Version: We are looking for a new sink for our laundry room, so stopped by this Home Depot to look at sinks. They had a few options which we are considering. Since I recently started getting into plants, I also took a look at their indoor plants section. It was March and the selection was not bad. The plants were in ok shape in general. No plants looked in really rough shape like I saw at the RONA down the street. However, I was looking for a Pilea Peperomioides and they had quite a few at a good price ($7.99), but none nice and healthy enough that I wanted to take home. They all had some scarred, yellowing or dead leaves. They had some cute succulents though that I would have gotten if I was in the market for them at the time. Plants at big box stores don't usually get the best care, but they are much cheaper than at speciality shops, so that's the trade-off. Plants, aside, this Home Depot location is really big and has all the usual items you need for home improvement projects. The washrooms here were exceptionally clean during my visit and I like how the exit door is a push and not a pull. I hate having to pull a handle after I have freshly washed my hands, lol. This location is a bit tucked away, you can't see it from the street. Lots of free parking. Review #89 (2025)

They also sell their plants online and their website is up-to-date with their current inventory, so if it's not online, they don't have it. This is unlike some other stores where they don't post everything they have in-store, so you might find items in-store that are not posted online. The store is hidden in an industrial park, so you have to go looking for it. Unlikely that you would just drive by and see it. I recently got into plants so I was poking around Google Maps looking for plant stores and found this store that way. They have a good variety of plants and I like how they group plants that can tolerate low light and they indicate which plants are non-toxic to pets. Their plants are all in relatively good shape in contrast with plants at big box stores which sometimes are in poor condition. Their plants are more expensive than big box stores and large greenhouses like Robert Plante Greenhouses, which is to be expected. For example, they had Fenestraria Rhopalophylla (Baby Toes succulents) for $16.99 whereas they are $12.99 at Robert Plante and between $4.99-$9.99 at big box stores. However, I would say their prices are comparable with other small plant stores in the city. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Free parking available in the strip mall parking lot. Review #80 (2025)
