UPDATE: Management finally emailed me back and completely refused a refund. They claimed that total…read morecore liquefaction within 4 days is just an environment change issue, that their heavy, un aerated peat mud mix is perfectly fine for flytraps, and that the completely brittle, brown, dead String of Pearls roots I photographed are just naturally small. They tried to sweep this under the rug by offering a partial $60 store credit trap instead of a refund to my card, hoping I would walk away losing $85. I have rejected their credit and filed an official dispute/chargeback with my credit card issuer for defective goods. Do not trust their health guarantee. I am incredibly upset and disappointed by my recent experiences at Robert Plante Greenhouses. I bought 4 pinguiculas, a venus fly trap and a string of pearls throughout August 22, 26, 30 and September 6. All of my carnivorous plants i bought from them developed crown rot within 4 days. Their website explicitly guarantees that their plants are sold in good health, but their carnivore plant stock is plagued by a systemic nursery infection. I bought four separate Pinguiculas (Weser, gigantea, moranensis and a emarginata) and a Venus flytrap across a couple of trips spanning three weeks, and every single one of them collapsed into black, mushy crown rot exactly 4 days after bringing them home. The fact that this happened to multiple plants bought over a 3-week span proves they are neglecting their inventory and keeping an active water-borne outbreak alive on their benches. A healthy plant does not turn to rotting mush in 96 hours under proper care, ruling out any home environment issues on my end. I tried repotting them two days ago to save them and my weser and moranensis completely fell apart in my hands because the core was entirely liquefied. My emarginata was a total goner and had to go straight in the trash, and the other most recent one my gigantea from Sept 6th is in critical condition after hacking the rot off. To make matters worse, a staff member gave me completely wrong care advice for the p. emarginata telling me to leave it dry for 2 days. It was in a tiny nursery pot so it just completely shriveled up and died immediately. On top of that, their soil mix is a joke. They put a light dressing of rocks and perlite on the very top of the pots to make it look airy to a buyer, but underneath it is completely sandy, compacted silt and heavy peat with barely any perlite. Their premade carnivores soil i bought was so compacted that it turned into a heavy, suffocating mud that completely drowned out and choked the flytrap's roots. On top of the carnivorous plant department's massive issues, the variegated String of Pearls I purchased was sold with completely dead, dehydrated roots and immediately turned into a shriveled mess. I paid $7 for basically one strand of dying pearls with brittle, dry, thread roots that were dead on the sales floor long before I bought it. I have lost a total of $146 because this business sells pre existing liabilities, gives the wrong advice for specific species, and sells packages of garbage soil. I have reached out for a refund or replacements and hope management makes this right. I strongly warn others to avoid their compromised stock. The photos attached are all separate pinguiculas bought on separate days showing the black center rot and the compaction under the top soil, and my Venus fly trap is basically dead. I also included a picture of the tray i made trying to save them but almost all the leaves have brown rot, it also includes the mix i made for my pinguiculas so you can compare to what they sell, but obviously they were already compromised when i bought them so i had no chance to save them and my p. weser after it collapsed all the leaves are rotting.

Lowes has them planted in the parking lot, but none in the store. The staff doesn't even know what I'm asking for! At least I could show them... ... Which is more than I could say for Richmond Nursery. :-( There are no wild rose bushes in the nursery or nearby. They had a lot of other stuff which was ok, but not what I want. Mind you, the nursery is quite big, and the staff was helpful trying to find something that might be suitable. For me, the rose bushes they had on offer were nice, but were about $30.00 each, which is more than I want to pay when I'd need 4 or 5 to fill the space. So, I'm still looking...

TL;DR/The Short Version: Garden Centre with an indoor plants…read moresection. Lots of seeds available too. The Long Version: I didn't realize that this store had indoor plants. I thought they just sold seeds and gardening supplies. However, my sister-in-law who knows I'm crazy about plants right now found a video on YouTube showing this store's newly renovated plants section. So I had to check it out. They have a lot of stuff. They have books about plants and even cute crocheted/knitted plants too. I came with 2 goals in mind. The first was to find a small terra cotta plant pot saucer (about 2" in diameter) and the second was to look at their indoor plants. I found the saucer, but it was $2.29 for one. I can get them at Dollarama for $1.50 for 3 but they are a bit bigger, like 2.5 inches. So I'm going to hold out for now. I might just end up getting the bigger ones to save some money. I enjoyed looking at their plants. They had Lithops, my favourite plant, but only green ones and reddish/orangey ones, which I already have. I'm looking for purple ones or colours I don't have already. They also had Fenestraria Rhopalophylla (Baby Toes) for only $9.99, cheaper than at most other places, but they weren't in good condition, so I passed. They had lots of string of pearls which were in excellent shape though. I found it odd that some plants were thriving while others were in rough shape. Anyway, I had fun poking around the store. I'm going to return with my husband to check out their organic vegetable seeds. He's in charge of our backyard vegetable garden ;) Lots of free parking available in their private parking lot. Watch out for potholes. Lots of pot holes on the road leading up to the store and in their parking lot. Review #82 (2025)

The Only Reason I Gave 1 Star is Because I Have to Give Something, otherwise I would Give 0 Stars…read moreto this Disgrase of a Business and it's Owner I have never written a bad review about a company in my entire life, but I feel compelled to let others know about the absolute worst customer service , worst exchange policy and most arrogant business owner I ever experienced. My Wife bought a ZZ plant on the recommendation from an employee at Make it Green Garden Center as I was looking for a tropical plant for my Son's in-home office that would be low maintenance. After getting home She did some further research online and discovered that the ZZ Plant is toxic to Animals and Humans and since my Son has a Dog and a 6 Month old child there was no way we were going to give him a Plant that could be potential harmful ( or even deadly). The very next morning She brought the plant back to Make it Green Garden Center (with the receipt) and explained that she discovered that the plant was toxic and could be potentially deadly to our Son's Dog or Even worse it could harm our 6 month old Grand daughter . She further went on to explain that She did not want a refund but just wanted to exchange it for something else that would not be toxic to dogs or humans She was absolutely appalled when she was told they would not exchange the plant as their return policy states no returns on Annual Plants, she explained to the owner that it was NOT an Annual Plant but rather a Tropical Plant... the Owner's reply was "they are the same thing so no returns allowed" Annuals and Tropicals are NOT THE SAME THING, not by a long shot... Annuals die each year and Tropicals live forever... So when she explained this to him his reply changed to "well you bought it on sale so no return on sale items" Once again she was floored at Just how Very poor this Guys customer service was... she went on to say "Yes she did buy it on sale, however she was not told that the plant was toxic to dogs and people, and all she wanted was to exchange it" I am still in shock at his reply which was... "You Should Have Asked If It Was Toxic" Whaaaaatttttt Is this Guy for real?.... the friggin arrogance! Any way the bottom line is they did not allow her to exchnge it so she ended up leaving the plant on their counter and walked out with nothing. We will NEVER, EVER set foot in their garden center again and I advise others to do yourselves a favor and spend your money elsewhere where customers are treated with respect. This company is interested in nothing more than your money... Period! But the irony here is that this plant was only worth $6.00, however they have lost several hundreds of dollars of our business as my wife is a gardener and we spend a great deal of money every Spring on Plants and supplies, none of which "Make it Green Garden Center" will ever see again. So in the end THEY ARE THE LOSERS in this deal!

I hired the Home Depot to install a new toilet in November 2023. The home depot sub contracts toilet installs to another company (Quick Contractors). They sent a guy with no experience to install the toilet. The installer installed the toilet incorrectly and on an angle. The toilet leaked and caused thousands of damage to the floor and ceiling below. I have been given the run around from Home Depot and Quick Contractors to repair the damage. These two big companies decided to pass off all responsibility to the installers private insurance who has been ignoring my emails and calls. I have informed both companies there has been no progress or resolution in site. The contractors private insurance has claimed they have not accepted fault for the damage yet, even though it has been made clear the installer was at fault. A 2nd installer was sent out from Quick Contractors to reinstall the toilet and report back on what caused the damage. The 2nd installer clearly stated the leak was from improper installation and took pictures. Attached are photos of the toilet installed on an angle and the water leaking out of the base soaking a drop cloth. If you think hiring a big company like Home Depot will have your back with any warranty issues think again. My house is supposed to be on the market for sale but will be delayed until the repairs are final.
