Silk Plants never die...but they do need updating! Stopped at Silk Plant Warehouse to buy a vase, however, it's kinda like groceries. You go in for one little item and 500 bucks later you got a cart full of groceries or should I say Silk plants! The selection is fantastic and the store goes on forever. Great staff and very informative. The prices are very good and the product is far better than anywhere I've seen. Next pay day....I'm there!

I know, silk plants, seriously? Well owning a business it is difficult to not have any casualties with the real version. Obviously I don't have a green thumb (manicures are way too important!) and this place is perfect for those who want some really cool arrangements or something out of the ordinary without the commitment for the real thing.
I ordered several arrangements and wanted a few specialty ones with a certain colour palate and ended up getting a consolation with Jorge. (pronounced Hor-hay) I was taken aback with how knowledgeable and accommodating he was. I am sorta OCD when it comes to having things done just right and unless I am doing it myself, it usually is not done right. But he did it right! I brought a couple of my own containers to cut some costs. My smaller arrangements ran from about $50 and the larger ones ran at about $200 but that includes the selections of your choice and his time to assemble them.
I also got a couple of great deals with pre-made arrangements that were $80-$100 that were really generous in size and foliage so that was a total score for me...I do love a great bargain when I can get one.
The space is HUGE and you will definitely find something if not for yourself for someone else. Lovely assortment of vases and ceramics and even have a clearance section. My kids particularly loved the parrot! I believe his name was Peter? (at least I think that was what he was, anyway he was grey and spoke back to us). So all in all, a great find in my books and worth the trip if you want some cool fake plants! -

Picture the biggest greenhouse you can possibly envision. Picture the trees, the plants, the bushes and the flowers greeting you upon arrival. Picture the greenery, the lusciousness and the beauty surrounding you at every step. Now picture this entire environment made exclusively of silk.
I'm not kidding.
The Silk Plant Warehouse is a mammoth of a shop and it feels more like a greenhouse/courtyard than a store. And yes, every single plant inside is made of silk. You'd never know it though - they are absolutely stunning and you'd swear it's the real thing until you touch it and see for yourself.
Whether you're looking for Banzai plants, vines, ivy, bamboo, Gerber daisies, roses, trees or orchids, The Silk Plant Warehouse has got it all.
Plus they've even got rock star washrooms! Labelled 'Olivia Newton-John' for the ladies and 'Elton John' for the gentlemen, it's hard not to want to make an excuse to use their facilities.
What's more is that they offer delivery citywide AND worldwide. Fer real? Yes. Right now they've got an amazing sale on all their plants. They also sell home decor such as iron wall clocks (on sale for $59.99), portraits, paintings and statues.
Considering the winter that we've had, the Silk Plant Warehouse is the perfect escape. C'mon! Who wouldn't want to be surrounded by greenery and plants that you never have to care for and that never die? Yeah, you're on your way now aren't you??? -
Review from Adam B.

I used to love my real plants...but more and more they have become a casualty of my busy life and work schedule, so about 6 months ago I bought my first artificial plant, at another store. Having been happy with that, I thought I would check out this store.
As others have said this store is huge, and according to one of the girls working there, has been there for 25 years. There are all kinds of plants, for both indoors and out - and they are all made of silk or ( gulp) plastic. However, fear not! The majority of these plants look incredibly real - not all, but most. I think that fake plants are tacky - there I said it, but if you find the right ones you can create the illusion of gorgeous healthy flora in your home or office.
The prices are reasonable,and when i was in today they had a big sale on. I got a plant that was reg 29 99 for 19.99. The sales girl told me that you have 30 days to return anything for full refund including sale and clearance items. Thats a pretty good return policy.
One thing that you should note, is that they dont just have silk plants, they have tons of decor items. Frames, pictures, vases, knick knacks, I took some pics that hopefully show this.
In addition to predesigned plants in pots - they also have all the stuff you need to create your own - the plants - plant foam, moss, pots etc...
There was a couple in there getting served by a young girl who seemed very very helpful. There is a fair amount of parking out front.
I was originally going to give this just 4 stars , but when I thought about it - in the category of fake plant stores - with great service, prices and selection this is as good as it gets. -

Silk plants, ya a bit tacky but if you do it right, they can look really good. This store is huge and is like walking in a jungle. The service was great. Found a few cute smaller pieces, a huge arrangement and a vine. A bit pricey I thought for some plastic bits, but then I don't really know much about silk plants. They look great in my home, overall I'm happy with the experience.
