    There are a few things that this place does really well. I'm sure their annuals are great, as are…read moresome of their perennials. And they seem to have a good deal of knowledge about plants - though it isn't particularly deep. They also have some odd policies that are not of benefit to the customers. For example, perennials don't come with a one-year warranty unless they are marked with a certain kind of coding (which is itself entirely invisible to customers until you inquire). This wouldn't be a big issue normally, but most of the other greenhouses in town do offer some kind of warranty, even if it takes the form of an exchange rather than a money-back guarantee. Dutch Growers' reasoning was that perennials need to be planted in certain conditions in order to establish themselves. Oddly, though, they offer a one-year warranty on trees and shrubs regardless of where they are planted. Now, I'm not a dumb gardener. I have been growing plants in the same yard for more than 15 years, and so I've got a good sense of where there is good soil, what makes it good, what kind of sun it gets. I didn't appreciate being told that the perennials I was buying weren't necessarily going to survive till the next year because of my incompetence. The reality is that most of the perennials that Dutch Growers sells are into their second or third year of growth, which makes them much more difficult to transplant - not impossible, mind you, but more difficult. I still have a success rate above 95% with perennials, but I know what I'm doing. I also know not to purchase plants that won't survive our winters. The people who work here apparently do not. They recommended that I purchase a Zone 4 lavender when I asked if they had any that would survive our winters - there are two or three variants that will - and I asked them how I was expected to keep it around for more than a single summer. They told me to cover it up with more snow and plant it in a place that doesn't get a lot of winter wind. That may have worked, and I would maybe be willing to give it a try if it came with a warranty of some sort, but without one I see no point in taking his word for it. Finally, a few weeks ago I purchased a Cyclamen from the tropical plants section of the store. It was a clearance, and so the plant was on half price, and I knew I could use it as a gift for my mother. It was a beautiful, regal plant in the store so I purchased it with some confidence. The next day, though, the plant's leaves had started to wilt and fall away dead. I didn't know what was happening, so I looked into it. The plant had been over-watered, and was now dying. There is no certain way to save it, other than hope that it might going into dormancy and come back the following year. Here's the thing - I did nothing to the plant other than take it home and put it in the window. The growers at Dutch Gardens had over-watered this plant, causing it to die, and were not willing to do an exchange on the plant because it was marked as final sale. I've not been impressed with them at all this summer, and have resolved to take my business elsewhere in the future. Thank goodness there are better, more well informed, and more passionate greenhouses in this city. My recommendations include Plant Ranch and WP. Avoid Dutch Growers as much as you can.

    Dutch Growers is our favourite place to get a Christmas tree. The staff is very good. They have a…read morebig selection of trees in different sizes indoors. Brenda has very high standards for her tree and we have always found one here. Dutch Growers also has a very good delivery service so you can select your tree early and get it delivered exactly when you want it. They also carry a lot of Christmas related items so Brenda can pick up a few of the things she needs to get ready for Christmas.
