The shop itself doesn't have a lot of fresh flowers and bouquets to choose from but they seem to have a steady business of people ordering in advance to pick up. The back half of the store is where the staff do their work and create beautiful arrangements. We met with Ivy, the Florist, at a table in the front part of the store. She had 3 albums of photos of sprays and wreaths, and stickers for prices. They started at $85 and went up to hundreds. We had about 12 to pick, so it was easy to go through and take out the photos of the ones we wanted to order. After we choose the photos, she had a form for each one of the arrangements. We gave her the details, and she wrote is down. She provided either cards or a ribbon with writing in Chinese and English of the family names. This made things organized so she knew which arrangements was from which family member. The day of the viewing, the arrangements were lined up nicely. The information was correct. Although not all the flowers looked as the photos, I can appreciate it's due to the season, availability, and short notice of 3 days to get the flowers, and arrange them. They looked lovely for the somber occasion. Price and service were good, would recommend this floral shop.

**This is written for the West End location, but thought it would be valuable to share here too…read moregiven it's the same company** My family and I have ordered from Funky Petals countless times over the years and have generally been content with what was sent out. However, my recent experience was highly disappointing. I spent $180 (including fees and taxes) on an arrangement of flowers and mentioned that we didn't require a vase since the recipient has dozens of her own. I placed my trust in their team and was hopeful and assured that the arrangement would be quite robust for that price point. Sadly, this particular one is not at all in line with past orders (see photo and you be the judge) which is very unfortunate given this was meant to be a birthday surprise during a very intense and difficult year. Once I saw a photo of the flowers that were sent, I immediately followed up with Anna, who's apparently in management, to express my concerns and she agreed that the arrangement could've been better and apologized a few times for the poor service. Yet, she personally delivered the flowers and clearly felt they were on par with their standards and kept making excuses as to why the arrangement wasn't fully up to their level and offered me a $50 credit as a gesture of goodwill. She also added that the recipient personally called her to share how "beautiful the flowers were". Something about this didn't sound right, so I followed up with the recipient and she mentioned that Anna actually called TWICE to "check-in" on the flowers, which is not their normal practice and the calls took place after I reached out. Way to put someone on the spot and who's going to complain about a gift on their own B-day!? This is super shady and a terrible business tactic, especially given that she specifically said that the recipient was the one who called her, which she did but after Anna left two voices messages. Um... kind of on the edge of harassment. Needless to say, when I shared how much the flowers cost (which I was embarrassed to admit) the recipient was shocked and was convinced that they cost at most half that amount. At this point, I went back to Anna and requested a refund for the $50, which I felt was fair and was still pretty low considering the flowers looked like they came from a grocery store or gas station complied of low-quality stems of old looking roses that were already open, other lackluster & cheap pieces thrown in, as well as tired and droopy carnations. They should've been embarrassed to put their name on this. They also forgot to add the plant food (for whatever life was left in these flowers) and didn't include their signature chocolate, which wasn't missed anyway, but the point is that they had, even more, misses on their part. In the end, nothing was reimbursed as they "don't issue refunds on store credit". Well, what about a refund for a product that I paid good money for and was way overcharged? How is that ethical? I showed the photo to several people in the YEG area and everyone agreed with me they weren't worth that price point. I would've been more than happy to return the flowers, but Anna initially pretended to try and make the situation better, which I was allowing her to do. However, I had to email her twice to even get an initial response and I also didn't want to ruin the B-day surprise. Anna also didn't respond to my last email, which isn't surprising as it seems evasion is clearly their method of choice in customer service. Definitely never ever using any Funky Petals again and have made sure that anyone I know who used them is aware of this disastrous and unprofessional experience. Considering we didn't at all receive the quality of the product we paid for and the company is too stingy to do refunds, this is in my mind on the verge if not full-on consumer fraud. You've been warned, so good luck if you still choose to throw money away here. Just keep in mind that Safeway would be a better and much more affordable option. And yes, plenty of grocery stores also sell stems birds of paradise - they aren't that exotic anymore.

Additionally, I got to pick up the cutest, artsy candles I've seen in a while. There's also an array of candy you can select to include with you gift as well as soaps and all sorts of little extras. Overall, the price is a little high but overall average for florists. Plus I was in and out with a one of a kind gift in about 15 minutes

Unfortunately, this did not happen. Upon viewing the wedding flowers the day prior to wedding...the bride was told that the peachy roses would be exchanged out, for different ones and a final inspection would be done before sending them out, to remove any broken or browning flowers. This was not the case and we discovered that a flower that was definitely not to be used, was in the arrangements. Bits of the bride's bouquet, started falling out at the alter and continued throughout the day! Could it be that Heather is overloaded and there is little quality control, due to time factors? I don't know...but $2,000. and the word of a "professional" should warrant the best quality and condition of the flowers. Quite disappointing. Just remember.....once you pay...you have no recourse!!!!

Creative and beautifully arranged florals, as well as excellent customer service. I am definitely going to be an ongoing customer.

Gift ideas for all the people in your life and yourself. Then mosey on back into the greenhouse areas where you can find tools, dirt, fertilizer, garden pond chemicals and building supplies. Plus plant pots that will make you want to create the oasis of your dreams. The plants! Can I even skim the surface of the variety and fullness of the plant selection they have. I personally adore looking at the succulents and cacti, but I got kids so... haha I love the beautiful flowers and plant pot stuffers. So many ideas and inspiration. This visit I saw tons of hanging bags of flowers, so trendy! They also had wild and beautiful new flowers I've never heard or seen before. We also saw some of my favourite greens- food! The huge array of pepper plants and tomatoes were just starting to arrive and I loved it all. Then when you head finally to towards the till you go past canned good delights and fresh produce. Plus did I mention you can find a huge array of chicken decor? (Maybe that's just my thing lol) This visit I treated myself to a Japanese Air purifying plant called a Crispy Wave! Top it off with kind staff, they noticed my little one and didn't hesitate to pick a marigold flower for them to take home.

Lots of wonderful purchases from this local greenhouse over the years. How I haven't posted a…read morereview yet, I'm not sure. Every time I've shopped here for myself or with others, I leave feeling like I've found more than what I thought I needed (great for any gardener to feel that happiness and this was certainly true on my most recent visit). If you're looking for seeds, plants, ready to eat veggies & fruit, various garden maintenance items, home & garden accessories or decor items, this is a great place to shop. If you're on a time or budget limit, you might need to go in with someone else to help you focus and cover more ground. There's always a lot to look at and if you go often enough, there's even a stamp card to fill up (I won't go into the details, as another yelper explained that really well already). The last visit I'm recalling (in Aug 2021), I noticed they had a decent discount on remaining vegetables, herbs and flowers for your garden. To a point it distracted me from my original mission of buying veggies for my upcoming meals. Well only a little... as I bought some lovely mature herbs of basil, stevia and chives to add to my patio garden. I stocked up on the veggies I went there for but made a note to myself about the cases of BC fruit. I'm writing this review now as I forgot it in drafts and found it again when sharing this location with relatives and friends. Most recently my Aunt picked up potatoes from there (Oct 2021), so the food area is still available as well as all the neat extra things closer to the tills. Parking lot is large enough one wouldn't struggle to find a spot, it's flat and it's paved. The entrance/exit is both flat, making it welcoming for all levels of mobility. The signs could be a bit more strategically placed so one actually goes into the right greenhouse area for plants, types of flowers, veggies & fruit (fruits & veggies were at the far end of the connecting greenhouses but in the past years the veggies & fruit were close to the exit & tills). I also passed a lot of staff in the greenhouse but no one asked me if I was finding what I was looking for, if needed help with anything I was looking at or if I knew that they were closing up soon. It wasn't until I reached the till I realized what time it was with all the staff gathered near the exit waiting for the greenhouse to close. That was an odd feeling but I appreciate the cashier & what I assume was the owner for still taking time to chat with me and make sure I knew about the punch card and had everything I needed. While exiting, I noticed a bunch of very happy greenhouse cats and one very lovely old greenhouse dog. Something about greenhouse that keep animals always makes me smile just a bit more.
