Scammers, liars, no product support!…read more Without question, the worst retailer I have ever experienced and I am surprised that they are still in business. This goes back a few years, but I do not forget something this outrageous. When I wanted a HPS ballast, the salesman spent over an hour pressuring me and insisting that the MH ballast combined with very expensive Hortilux sodium conversion bulb would significantly outperform the natural HPS ballast and bulb. Regretfully I fell for the lies, and when the MH ballast failed to ignite the conversion bulb at each light cycle, B and B insisted that it was the fault of MY ELECTRICAL SUPPLY IN MY HOME, and refused any support for the failure. Was forced to sell the MH ballast and then purchased a HPS and sodium bulb from Brite-Lite Hydroponics and it ran flawlessly for years on the same electrical supply. I suspect that B and B stays in business this long by moving from one city to the next. I know they did not stick around in Mississauga for very long.

I can't believe I've never reviewed Lee Valley Tools! This store is one of my husband's favourite…read morestores. It sells tools, gardening supplies, and gadgets for the house. They have a limited amount of inventory that they display in the store. The rest of their items are in their warehouse. You look through their catalog using their on-site computers and it will tell you if the item you want is on display (if that's the case, you just find it and get it and check out) or in their warehouse. If it's in their warehouse, you jot down the item number and bring it to the staff and they will get it for you from the warehouse. I am totally going to date myself by saying this, but the set up is a little bit like the now defunct Consumers Distributing. Does anyone remember that store? Lol. They were much more low tech back then of course, you'd have to look through an actual paper catalog to find the item number, lol. Staff here are always very pleasant. They genuinely seem like they enjoy being there. They are easy-going and have a calm demeanor. The vast majority of them are in their golden years and it appears to me like it's their post-retirement gig to get out of the house and make some extra money, lol. I could be wrong, but this is my perception. The prices are on the higher end, but I find the quality of their products are also high and they have unique items that are hard to find elsewhere. They have lots of free parking on-site in their private parking lot. If you love innovative gadgets or tools that are a bit nicer than the ones you'd find at your average hardware store, give Lee Valley a look-see.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Cute little plant store in Little…read moreItaly. Nice selection but nothing too exotic. 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 !!

The Only Reason I Gave 1 Star is Because I Have to Give Something, otherwise I would Give 0 Stars…read moreto this Disgrase of a Business and it's Owner I have never written a bad review about a company in my entire life, but I feel compelled to let others know about the absolute worst customer service , worst exchange policy and most arrogant business owner I ever experienced. My Wife bought a ZZ plant on the recommendation from an employee at Make it Green Garden Center as I was looking for a tropical plant for my Son's in-home office that would be low maintenance. After getting home She did some further research online and discovered that the ZZ Plant is toxic to Animals and Humans and since my Son has a Dog and a 6 Month old child there was no way we were going to give him a Plant that could be potential harmful ( or even deadly). The very next morning She brought the plant back to Make it Green Garden Center (with the receipt) and explained that she discovered that the plant was toxic and could be potentially deadly to our Son's Dog or Even worse it could harm our 6 month old Grand daughter . She further went on to explain that She did not want a refund but just wanted to exchange it for something else that would not be toxic to dogs or humans She was absolutely appalled when she was told they would not exchange the plant as their return policy states no returns on Annual Plants, she explained to the owner that it was NOT an Annual Plant but rather a Tropical Plant... the Owner's reply was "they are the same thing so no returns allowed" Annuals and Tropicals are NOT THE SAME THING, not by a long shot... Annuals die each year and Tropicals live forever... So when she explained this to him his reply changed to "well you bought it on sale so no return on sale items" Once again she was floored at Just how Very poor this Guys customer service was... she went on to say "Yes she did buy it on sale, however she was not told that the plant was toxic to dogs and people, and all she wanted was to exchange it" I am still in shock at his reply which was... "You Should Have Asked If It Was Toxic" Whaaaaatttttt Is this Guy for real?.... the friggin arrogance! Any way the bottom line is they did not allow her to exchnge it so she ended up leaving the plant on their counter and walked out with nothing. We will NEVER, EVER set foot in their garden center again and I advise others to do yourselves a favor and spend your money elsewhere where customers are treated with respect. This company is interested in nothing more than your money... Period! But the irony here is that this plant was only worth $6.00, however they have lost several hundreds of dollars of our business as my wife is a gardener and we spend a great deal of money every Spring on Plants and supplies, none of which "Make it Green Garden Center" will ever see again. So in the end THEY ARE THE LOSERS in this deal!
