    Probably one of the best nursery/retail centers I have ever been to. The selection of pots and accessories, tropicals, perennials, annuals, and gift ideas is really outstanding. Their Christmas display is also stunning! I always spend at least 2 hours in here because there is always a new selection to make new container designs.

    When my begonias made it to the second week....ALIVE... I thought, hells yeah I can do gardening.  Sunshine usually brings out the wannabe gardeners in everyone anyway.   Armed with feistiness and vigour, I walked confidently into Gardenworks.  I was ready to give birth to the herb garden of my dreams, the way I nursed my begonias like a child.  In fact, I think I may have found the best substitute for children and pets. I've found something that doesn't talk back, make noises or poop!

    Every single one of the staff I talked to were very helpful.  They all know their shit is all I can say.  I came out with miniature roses, a snapdragon plant, basil, rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, mint and a kalanchoe plant. I was readying myself for a very expensive bill but it all came to $33 with taxes.  Awesome!

    Gardenworks is a fantastic nursery and gardening store located just over the border line from Vancouver in Burnaby. I love coming here at Christmas to pick out a tree. Their selection is fantastic and they have good prices, too. Plus, there is hot chocolate and goofy cut outs that you can take pictures in to amuse yourself while you're waiting for your tree to be prepared. It can be a bit hard to find someone to help you here when they get busy though (which is pretty much all the time, at Christmas). Gardenworks also has a fantastic gift selection(they carry things that I wouldn't expect a gardening store to carry, like kitchen supplies and many Christmas ornaments) and obviously their plants and flowers selection is great.

    Looking for a Star Jasmine, I asked Lee where they were to save me from a long hunt. She found them right away but they were to big for my needs so I thanked her and continued on. Well, Lee found another, smaller Jasmine and tracked me down to show me. It was perfect but it was planted in a pot with other plants so Lee offered to dig it up and plant it in the pot I was buying.
    Lee was super helpful and did a great job with the planting. My Jasmine is happy on my deck. I'll shop here again.

    GardenWorks - always a great selection for whatever your gardening needs or wants...

    Well stocked and organised.  

    Even as busy as the parking lot seemed on a decent Spring Sunday, just after lunch - they had everything we wanted and lots of cashiers on deck to deal with the crowds.  Definitely a pleasurable experience.

    Bar none, GardenWorks is the best gardening store in the land, just for the selection of plants and range of gardening products alone. This one on Lougheed Highway is huge, with a back lot full of trees, flowers, perennials, and seasonal plants to wander through.

    I usually make a pilgrimage in the spring to get plants and soil for my balcony garden, but GardenWorks is also excellent for natural Christmas decorations. You can find dwarf potted trees, holly branches, and cedar boughs, as well as cute decorations for them, or lovely indoor tropical plants and cacti if you'd rather pretend to live in Florida. The mini cacti gardens make great housewarming gifts.

    Damn those convenient shopping carts. It's kind of like IKEA - you can spend a lot of money in here even if you came in for just one lil' thing.

    Don't forget the florist at the Burnaby Location of Gardenworks.  They do a lovely job with fresh flowers and eye-catching arrangements.  I get lots of compliments from people who receive these arrangements as they seem to stay fresh longer than the average.
