Review from Megan K.

So I totally have a brown thumb but this year I was feeling exceptionally green and decided to give this gardening business one more try. Having very little knowledge of what these plants where or how to keep them alive, I continued on pretending to look like I knew what I was talking about while my husband looked on. Initially I was a little intimidated by the shear number of plants that they had to offer, not to mention all their nifty garden gear but I felt right at home as their cat "boyfriend" greeted us with licks, purrs and demands for belly scratching.
Owen found us lost amongst the vine plants and gave us excellent advice and insight into what we should look for. He suggested a "Green Tea" plant and thankfully talked us out of the Kiwi plant! With our new purchase in hand I was thrilled to discover that if you buy a plant and a pot from GardenWorks, they will plant it in the pot for you, for free! If your living in an apartment this an excellent option, not to mention it also saves you the fear of killing the plant if your as terrible of a gardener as myself! Heidi planted our new addition for us and even suggested putting herbs in around the pot, which she also planted for us. Heidi gave us priceless information on what all gardeners know from Birth...(Ya I'm feeling a bit like a pro at this point) and gave us the low down on easy care tropical plants and what to do if we have a fly problem!
I am so thrilled with our new "patio garden" that I cannot wait to return to GardenWorks to add some fabulous plants to our lush garden! -

Mandeville has been bought out by Gardenworks. It's OK, though, I wouldn't know the difference. This place is vast, has a lot of space, and even has a restaurant with a fireplace. Though I went when the restaurant was closed, and thus, the fireplace wasn't on. Boo.
What did I buy here... ah! Honey Eucalyptus. Didn't even know I needed it. -

Can I just say that Gardenworks has taken my black thumb to green. This past fall I bought a little Fat Albert that I will be keeping on my balcony until Christmas, at which time I will have my own life Christmas tree with out the cost and dying nettles. When I went to purchase, I got just the PERFECT tree and all the good, sound advice a tree/plant novice like me needs. I was also able to come back a week later to pick it up. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They also know how to detatch me from my money!!!

There are TWO things for sure I can count on in this crazy life to bring me comfort and peace...ONE-taking an afternoon nap and TWO- going to Mandeville garden's!!!
I was there this past weekend, looking for plants and after perusing the grounds I was imagining all the possibilities I could have on my 80 square foot balcony in sky, I noticed something very unusual, or rather refreshing I should say. Nobody at the garden centre seemed to be unhappy, everyone was smiling, children were picking out a hanging basket of bleeding hearts for their mum for mother's day (bleck), and most of all the associates were pleased to offer assistance. Could I be dreaming? is this truly the happiest place on earth? (next to Disney land) I then began to fantasize about what it would be like to work at a place like this, would I want to be in charge of the herbs, or would I be the guy who pruned all the lavender plants? I bet I would work in the shrub department, or even better yet I think I would simply help people out to their car with their treasures! ha! ..ok seriously I think all the oxygen was getting to me. how could you ever be unhappy surrounded by plants!
the end. -

Excellent selection but SO EXPENSIVE. 6x more expensive than it should be, and than the local places in the area.
If you don't care how much you spend, you'll love the selection of wonderful plants. But geez, talk about rip off. -

Don't miss out on the small but yummy restaurant at this location. I often meet people here for lunch then do some garden shopping before or after. The rose selection here is good, try to visit in early spring for bare-root roses too!
