This is the best garden store in the city!
I look forward to spring each year for two reasons. The end of the rains, and my yearly trip to David Hunter. A little oasis tucked in amongst the busy city streets.
The staff are always helpful, and their plants are bug and disease free (unlike HomeDepot and others!).
Even if you are a little late in your garden planning, they always have nearly full grown veg plants for sale in the summer. Our garden exists on a measly 43 square foot downtown balcony, but with Hunter Gardens, we reap the benefits of our own produce all summer long! Mmmmmm -

Yes and yippie - I didn't wear a jacket today as I skipped along to browse perennials, took in a whiff of blooming blossoms and contemplated just how to fit it all on my little balcony.
What is most impressive about this store is the quality. Other times, when I've shopped at the big guy stores, I have to rummage through sickly plants to find good ones. I should know better. Choosing living plants is like choosing produce. If it's mixed in with the sick, it's likely sick itself. But at David Hunter, I haven't had that problem!
As Jill G mentions, the service here is amazing. These guys and gals know their stuff! Which is helpful if you're green thumb is itsy-witsy!
I settled on some potatoes (purple ones to boot!); seeds for peas and beans; potting soil (to plant the avocado seed that has been submerged in water for a few months); and a new cedar planter box for all of my spring time wonders.
I would have continued to buy out the lettuces, sweet peas, and even brussel sprouts if only my balcony could handle it. -

Every season is right for a trip to David Hunter Garden Centre. I first came here in spring to find all the things I wanted to plant. From seeds to succulents, ferns to trees, they've got it. The selection here is just great, the prices are good, but the nicest thing here is the service. During planting season they have volunteer "expert gardeners" available to help you make decisions of what to plant when and where. Even when the volunteers aren't there, the staff who work here are friendly and very helpful. If you have a green thumb, this is really the place to revel in all the lovely flora that you could imagine coaxing to grow.
