It's a simple place, no bells and whistle like another nearby nursery, however the price and quality of their plants gets them 5 stars. No price gouging! The selection could be bigger, the quality of what they do have is fantastic! I will definitely be going back!

It did not matter how I took care of it. I mentioned to the manager that we had been regular customers for 2 years but it did not matter to them: they refused to swap the plant for something else , saying 'they would not be able to resell this' . What a way of doing business! They have definitely lost us. Canadian tire has a 3 months warranty on any plant purchase. I d rather go there.

This place also has plants that you would not see elsewhere such as a Mountain Turtle plant or a pink guava tree. They have a great selection of cactuses as well as roses. Everything is organized and labelled. They also have "master' gardeners where you can ask questions to. This place is huge so it takes time to get around. Parking is free, but limited. There is free side street parking. The only downside is that the plants are on the pricier end. Saying this, they carry selections that you don't see anywhere else. Plus, they have a small discounted area for plants that need "extra care and love."

A friend brought me here to look for plants. And my first thought was WOW! I expected a selection…read moreof plants such as those at Home Depot but I was overwhelmed with the variety of indoor and outdoor plants. I saw all the ones I wanted: jasmine, basil, lavender, nastrum etc. and a lot more. The rows were endless that I didn't have the time to finish going through the place. It was that big. Plants were reasonably priced and parking was free. Definitely will be back on another sunny day to go through the selections.

As expected David Austins are nowhere to be found this late in the game but their roses selection is still quite modest , with prices ranging from about $23 - 40 for a plant .

This is my favourite garden store. The staff are amazing. You can bring in a leaf off of a plant…read moreand they can advise you about what the issue is. For example: the brown tips on the Azalea is environmental, likely wind burn and not a bug that I need to spray. The staff is knowledgeable, polite and professional. I always feel good about buying my plants and summer flowers there because I know that they are well taken care of and are not 'stressed' like they are at the box stores. The best part is that most of the time you can see Brian Minter there. I love listening to him on CBC. He too is very helpful and is more than willing to advise on plants, solutions for pest control or how and when to fertilize. It is wonderful to have such an amazing resource in our community. I think we are truly blessed. The little cafe there is also a great addition. Before shopping you can enjoy a sandwich, or just grab a coffee. This year I am going to be growing in raised bed gardens and have gotten all of my Fragro herbs at Minters. I am also seeding poppies on my property, and was able to find California, Oriental and a hybrid. So that is wonderful. Great selection of women's clothing, gifts, cut flower department, cafe, tropical plants, seasonal plants, herbs, vegetables, landscaping perennials, annuals, tools, pots, trees and so much more. Last summer the tomatoes that grew on my deck where 10 feet tall. I had asked one of the staff which ones to buy, and I grew 7 different varieties. The produced wonderfully, and it was cool to grow heirloom plants. I will post some photos of the plants from last summer. Thanks again Brian, you have a great hub for the community. Excellent plants and great customer service.

I love that. I love that they're raising baby chicks inside. *The exceptionally kind owners. They're always so calm, so kind, so friendly, so helpful, smiling all the time even though I know dealing with the public has to drive them batty at times. *The nursery feels like going to a friend's house. It's cozy and welcoming without the super sanitized commercial feeling of a lot of nurseries. *They're small but they have a nice variety. *They have some unusual things, too. I needed a lilac, not a tall big double bloom huge lilac like most people want. I needed a dwarf lilac and they had one. Perfect! *The location is great. Really easy to combine shopping, lunch, dinner, drinks at Fairhaven with gardening. *I love that they've been able go hang on in the nursery business for 27 years. If I was an owning-a-nursery kind of person, what their doing is how I hope I'd do it. Love, smiles, and hens in the mix.

They say they match prices, yet if you show them a price for the same item from elsewhere that is considerably lower in price, you are told that they won't match "that price". See an item on their website, go into the store to buy it only to find it priced higher, forget about getting it for the price on their website even when you show it to them, "I'm not taking a loss on it", (we're talking here of a price difference of about $10) and "...we've got 180,000 items on our website", is the response. A minute later the price on the website is deleted. Mistakes happen but when one employee says they will honour the web price only to have another over ride that decision it leaves a bad impression, more so when the second employee is unapologetic for the pricing error, and incredulous that one would question his decision. Want a fire extinguisher at 43% off, sure, it's now only a few dollars more than the regular price everywhere else. And, unbelievably, one they are selling on "sale" right now on their website was recalled by Kidde in 2017. Anyone who has one can return it to Kidde for a free replacement. That's downright dangerous that SM is still selling it, but presumably 5 years to figure it out isn't quite enough.
