    Stopped by after visiting kuhlmans. Visser greenhouse is on a farm and it seems like the family the…read moreruns the farm/greenhouse live right there too. The quality of the stuff there was mostly awesome. I didn't see anything that was dying or looked sick. ONE! Just one! Out of all the plants I picked up had signs of spider mites. For a greenhouse, that's damn amazing. The stuff is priced just like any other small greenhouse, but I did get a beautiful coleus for only $6. I left with 3 gorgeous plants and only paid $42. Will definitely be back!

    Best greenhouse quality I have EVER found in Alberta!…read more My family usually shops at Hole's in St. Albert which has excellent products - but a little on the pricey side to fill my flower beds. I won a gift certificate to Visser's on the radio, so we made the trek over to Visser's and boy oh boy were we impressed! The quality of their flowers were amazing and everything was displayed so artistically! They had the best flower baskets I have EVER seen - overflowing with lush flowers! The baskets were mostly $35 or 2/$60. They had a sale on bedding plants so we stocked up and brought home the most beautiful Fuschia hanging basket! Their staff were super knowledgeable and helpful, too! We went on the weekend and they had free coffee, water, and donuts. Later in the day they open a little hot dog stand. They had two play areas for children - one inside the green houses and one outside with a large sandbox - such a great idea! And yes, we had a toddler en tote! They have a super friendly dog there by the name of Bear who also helped to entertain my 2 year old. They had phenomenal quality herb and tomoato plants at exellent prices. Herbs were $2.50 and they had tomato plants starting at $6. They even had hanging baskets with ever bearing strawberries! I just can't say enough great things about Visser's & I can't wait to go back next year for all of my gardening needs! The one thing they don't have... a lot of accessories or trinkets for decorating your garden. They are a true greenhouse... If you want trinkets or decorations - I recommend the Root Seller or Hole's. At the end I was pleasantly surprised to also discover that they had a gift with purchase for every purchase over $25 on the day we visited - a bag of seed potatoes or a small pack of 3 annuals... what a treat! They also appeared to have a tree farm for Christmas trees... I can't wait to see their beautiful farm covered in snow!

    My green thumb loves it here! As soon as you arrive you have to turn left and go all the way to the…read moreback pond area and explore the hidden gem of dinosaur statues, some of the biggest coy fish I've ever seen, and real turtles! Plus this visit we saw a couple birds nearby too. This first area is full of the assortment of Knick knacks that can keep you enthralled for days looking at! Gift ideas for all the people in your life and yourself. Then mosey on back into the greenhouse areas where you can find tools, dirt, fertilizer, garden pond chemicals and building supplies. Plus plant pots that will make you want to create the oasis of your dreams. The plants! Can I even skim the surface of the variety and fullness of the plant selection they have. I personally adore looking at the succulents and cacti, but I got kids so... haha I love the beautiful flowers and plant pot stuffers. So many ideas and inspiration. This visit I saw tons of hanging bags of flowers, so trendy! They also had wild and beautiful new flowers I've never heard or seen before. We also saw some of my favourite greens- food! The huge array of pepper plants and tomatoes were just starting to arrive and I loved it all. Then when you head finally to towards the till you go past canned good delights and fresh produce. Plus did I mention you can find a huge array of chicken decor? (Maybe that's just my thing lol) This visit I treated myself to a Japanese Air purifying plant called a Crispy Wave! Top it off with kind staff, they noticed my little one and didn't hesitate to pick a marigold flower for them to take home.

    Lots of wonderful purchases from this local greenhouse over the years. How I haven't posted a…read morereview yet, I'm not sure. Every time I've shopped here for myself or with others, I leave feeling like I've found more than what I thought I needed (great for any gardener to feel that happiness and this was certainly true on my most recent visit). If you're looking for seeds, plants, ready to eat veggies & fruit, various garden maintenance items, home & garden accessories or decor items, this is a great place to shop. If you're on a time or budget limit, you might need to go in with someone else to help you focus and cover more ground. There's always a lot to look at and if you go often enough, there's even a stamp card to fill up (I won't go into the details, as another yelper explained that really well already). The last visit I'm recalling (in Aug 2021), I noticed they had a decent discount on remaining vegetables, herbs and flowers for your garden. To a point it distracted me from my original mission of buying veggies for my upcoming meals. Well only a little... as I bought some lovely mature herbs of basil, stevia and chives to add to my patio garden. I stocked up on the veggies I went there for but made a note to myself about the cases of BC fruit. I'm writing this review now as I forgot it in drafts and found it again when sharing this location with relatives and friends. Most recently my Aunt picked up potatoes from there (Oct 2021), so the food area is still available as well as all the neat extra things closer to the tills. Parking lot is large enough one wouldn't struggle to find a spot, it's flat and it's paved. The entrance/exit is both flat, making it welcoming for all levels of mobility. The signs could be a bit more strategically placed so one actually goes into the right greenhouse area for plants, types of flowers, veggies & fruit (fruits & veggies were at the far end of the connecting greenhouses but in the past years the veggies & fruit were close to the exit & tills). I also passed a lot of staff in the greenhouse but no one asked me if I was finding what I was looking for, if needed help with anything I was looking at or if I knew that they were closing up soon. It wasn't until I reached the till I realized what time it was with all the staff gathered near the exit waiting for the greenhouse to close. That was an odd feeling but I appreciate the cashier & what I assume was the owner for still taking time to chat with me and make sure I knew about the punch card and had everything I needed. While exiting, I noticed a bunch of very happy greenhouse cats and one very lovely old greenhouse dog. Something about greenhouse that keep animals always makes me smile just a bit more.
