Gardenworks

Love this place! Bought a ficus and some small succulents to decorate the house a while ago. Went back to get a new one because the first one died haha. The people there answered all of my questions and helped me in any way they could.

The manager agreed with me the e-​mail I receive did state an additional 30% off but refused to honour the stated sale price. I was a very loyal customer but no more.

I have been a loyal customer for many years with Garden Works but as of today, I Am HIGHLY DISSATISFIED!!!
So people that shop here, we all know that when you buy in multiples you get a bit of SAVINGS.
NO MORE.
Somewhere along the lines Garden Works has decided that they need to make MORE MONEY so they have BEGUN TO PHASE OUT multiple plant buying with Discounts .ie buy 6 pay less… Now buy 6 keep paying SAME PRICE.
I have taken my Business Elsewhere.
Hop On Farms, ect all along the Marine Drive Corridor and other quality, less priced FARMS.
Shame On YOU Garden Works.

I like wandering around this nursery even when I’m not there to buy. It’s a nice place to be.
The staff are helpful and most often I see volunteers at a table ready to talk plants and trees with people.
They will deliver for a fee.

This store is like a wonderland adventure for garden lovers. Mr J and I had young ones with us at Christmas time and bought our tree from here. The selection was almost too good because there were so many sizes and species to choose from. In the spring (now) they have almost every variety of fruit tree/​rose/​bulb you can imagine.
This week we were there buying seeds and soil to start a deck garden. One gentleman I spoke with was extremely helpful and made a lot of recommendations, another staff member helped us find seeds, soil, and discussed with us (quite knowledgeably) what would be best to start planting now, what could be planted indoors etc.
The only cons I would say is that from my perspective the store is layed out in a very aesthetically pleasing way, but it isn’t always practical. The staff there aren’t always easy to spot (most who work outside wear black jackets which can only be identified from behind) so it can take some time to find someone, and even longer to find someone that knows enough about whatever it is you’re trying to do to make a recommendation.
Solid 4 stars. I’m going to be here a lot this summer!

Lots and lots of plants! Lots and lots of staff! Only complaint is that to put lots and lots of plants in there… it made some of the aisles a little narrow for the carts to get down.
I hope my basil does well… I live on the stuff! :D

Best Christmas tree selection hands down around Burnaby.
Usually their trees are nicely hung and easy to look at and pick. Many different types and sizes to choose from! Prices are reasonable and staffs are helpful in helping out making your life easier (since lugging around a huge 7ft tree isn’t all thy fun).
I’ve recently stopped tending to my garden so I haven’t been into gardenworks much, but back in the day it was my go-​to place for everything garden related! Lots of staffs on floor and everything is neatly organized so it’s not hard to find what you’re looking for (unlike other garden centers, cough cough).

Gardenworks in Burnaby is huge! You can definitely find all things tree and gardening here. The staff is really friendly and personable. I can always get help fast and they know what I am looking for even though I am no tree expert. The orchids I bought from here have been doing soo well at home, in full bloom for over 2 months and still going strong! They have a good choice for office shrubberies too. I got a beautiful trees here with great choice of pots and got them delivered to the office. They came all ready to be placed! I loved them! Their membership card is $ 10 and is a good thing to get if you are buying a large items or bulk items as it comes with instant coupons that you can save more than 10 bucks. Plus you feel like a true gardner by getting the membership (or that’s how I’d like to think). Overall always a great experience and really helpful staff.

If you’re a horticulturalist, nature lover, or avid gardener, Gardenworks is your one-​stop shop for all your planting and garden decorating needs.
There is a wide, year-​round selection of plants, vegetables, seeds and trees with seasonal additions such as Christmas trees and Chinese Lanterns that’d look great in your home. In addition, there is an array of novelty and home décor ideas that would make great gifts or personal touches to any room of your abode.
With a huge indoor facility and an even larger outdoor, Gardenworks will truly meet and exceed your expectations. Believe me, every visit is an adventure!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
