They have large carts to load plants onto. The carts actually moved along smoothly. A knowledgeable staff member Kenny circulated to answer all of the questions customers had. He was patient and helpful. Purchased: Beautiful deep pink Hibiscus Tree for the Deck Organic Tomato Plants Dwarf Marigolds, Portulocca, and large red Spikes for pots on the front porch. Potting Soil A staff worker packed my car with plants and four bags of potting soil. There was a bee on a Marigold flower, and I asked him to get it to fly away. He did. The large Greenhouses were stocked with blooming healthy annuals and perennials. It was a sea of beautiful floral colors. One of the three Greenhouses had vegetable plants and herbs. They did not have Italian Flat Leaf Parsley, so I will look for it elsewhere. Checkout was organized and efficient. There were three checkout stations!

While there I noted what was for sale consisted primarily of annuals and herbs but all were robust and very competitively priced. When you walk in your are immediately lifted by the brilliant color, the humidity, fragrance, and well maintained plants. The green houses are immaculate. EXTREMELY warm and helpful salespeople; dealing with them made browsing a genuine pleasure.

Then, several visits and purchases over the years make me feel comfortable and excited enough to revisit, mostly this location. The most recent visit was no exception. Colourful annuals fit for the spring were aplenty both in the front and the back of the store, and we found plants here that we hadn't seen at any other major garden centre in the Capital Region so far. Maiden grass was the awesome find on the most recent visit, and the staff at checkout answered our questions about plant care which was very helpful. The prices appear to be competitive, as we found both lower, equivalent, and higher prices compared to several garden centres in the area. Parking here has not been an issue and they have their own parking lot, and we appreciated they were open till 7pm when some other stores were closed. I hope they stay open for a long time.

I went very early in the season and some of the edibles I wanted weren't quite ready for sale. I was impressed to learn they had many varieties of tomatoes (bush and vine, cherry, grape, beefsteak, etc) and many variations of herbs (culinary and ornamental rosemary, assortments of lavender, thymes). Since I also went early in the day, everything was well stocked, I had a crew member show me to each item I was looking for, and it was still pleasantly cool in all the green houses. Basically, it was paradise for me for the time I was there. As a hobby gardener who only has container plants on my patio, I appreciated the extra help and pointers when I had questions.

We stopped by here recently after the attractive lighting and misting behind the shop window caught our eyes while driving through the street, and what we found inside was just as interesting. Apparently opened about six weeks ago, this shop has a variety of pots and plants for sale (and for our viewing pleasure, of course) and a few odds and ends, like the plant hangers. The prices vary but generally seem reasonable, and apparently there's a 50% off sale going on with a purchase of a live plant and a pot. The wall of plants was beautiful to look at, and it seems like the staff can help with plant selections and care instructions depending on whether you're a beginner, a pro, or somewhere in between. I like this shop and hope they do well.
