TL;DR/The Short Version:
Huge store that sells plants and all things plants and gardening related. I scored some great deals on unusual succulents.
The Long Version:
I made a special trip from Ottawa to Laval in search of unusual succulents. My trip was centred around going to Serres Lavoie because they list all their plants on their website so I knew they had plants I wanted. Centre de Jardin Floreal was an add-on to the trip since it was also a plant store in Laval. They don't list their plants on their website, so i had no idea if they would have anything I wanted, but figured I'd take a look. It turns out that they had even more unusual succulents than Serres Lavoie (which is impressive because I was really happy with Serres Lavoie) and they happened to have a 40% off special on certain succulents.
I ended up getting 6 plants. They were all 40% off, so I'll list the price that I ended up paying for them.
I got a Haworthia truncata Mammoth ($12.89), a Haworthia maughanii Mooncup ($14.09), a Lapidaria margaretae (aka Karoo Rose) ($8.99), some mixed Lithops ($6.89), a single Lithop optica rubra ($4.79) and a plant that was labelled a Lithop, but I think was mislabelled and is actually a Gibbaeum album ($5.99). Omg! What a deal for all these hard-to-find plants!! I'm over the moon that I found these!
I also got 2 made in Germany ceramic pots. They were labelled as $3.99 each but rang in at $4.49 each but I didn't realize it until I got home :(
The store is huge and really fun to poke around. They had plastic gardening shoes, as well as some clothes. And of course pots, soil, seeds and so much more in addition to plants.
The cashier was friendly.
There's free parking in their private parking lot.
Centre de Jardin Floreal was the highlight of my Laval trip!! Highly recommend if you're into plants.
