Review from Crystal H.
Vancouver, BC
For years I've been looking for a reason to shop at Greenworks. From the time I first saw the proprietor, Alastair, on stage at Epic! to the kitchen reno of a friend, done with materials from Greenworks, I knew I had started a store love affair.
Then one fateful rainy afternoon, Peter S and I were walking by. And it just so happened we'd just come from a neighbour's apartment that was being renovated. Needless to say, we had flooring on the brain.
If you are into home finishings and fixtures like tiles, flooring and paints AND are someone who is also committed to sourcing environmentally sustainable items, this store is right up your alley. The staff is knowledgeable -- not just about the item, but also about its environmental footprint. They host workshops -- although according to their website -- their last one was held in July. The shopping experience itself is no pressure, quiet, and relaxed. We could take our time roaming and when we were ready, they sent us home with 2 bamboo flooring samples.
Do I want to make sustainable choices for my apartment? You bet. I just need to save an additional sum to do so! Worth it? To me, yup.Listed in: Eco Vancouver
