Ridiculous prices for the same product at Home Depot and Rona. They don't grow anything there and order from the same supplier. read more

This place is located to near bus stop of #100. It's so helpful who doesn't drive here. I came here to look for specific plants but unfortunately I couldn't find ideal one. However I was happy to stop by because it's totally hidden gem spot. Their gift shop has good quality stuff from Europe too. Definitely I will be back. read more

Dropped in to the Mandeville Gardens location on Thursday Oct 16/2025. Was on a mission to purchase Ilse Jacobsen Tulip Shoes. Spotted the color and the style I was looking for in a remote corner of the Shop. Turns out Mandeville didn't have the color and the style I was looking for in a Size 7. But at that moment everything changed;an Associate by the name of Tara approached me and suggested that I try a size 7.5 instead of a 7. Turns out Tara knows a lot about the Tulip shoe line and the 7.5 fit! I was so impressed by her knowledge and courteous manner that I purchased two pairs (one in a beautiful pale yellow shade and the 2nd pair in a beautiful grey color). I now consider Tara my personal "lucky charm" and I will always seek her out when I'm at Mandeville when I drop in. Tara- If you're reading this know that "Magic" is coursing through your veins and I hope that customers who read this review follow my lead and ask for your fantastic customer service when their heels land in Mandeville Gardens.

This place has it all to spend a lovely afternoon here. Take a browse through their retail store selling local food products , home decor items, and quality clothing. After that enjoy a stroll through their floral and plant selection. I felt I was at a beautiful floral garden with a good variety of healthy looking plants. There were signs indicating that if you bought a plant and a planter from them, they would pot it for you which is convenient and mess free. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. They also sell already made potted plants that make a perfect gift for any special occasion. When you're hungry, there's a cafe to enjoy a warm drink or sandwich with a seating area that is socially distanced. Look no further if you are looking for a plant or planter to add to your home decor or need a special gift for a house warming gift. They are located just off Marine Drive and Nelson in Burnaby. read more

GardenWorks - Latte, lemom cake, half eaten cookie - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Very helpful staff and good selection. If you're needing help or looking to find something, chances are the staff know where to look/find it. Plenty of parking spaces available around the location. Lots of options for soil, fertilizer, plants, and all sorts of equipment and accessories. They have beautiful decor available, and lots of space within the aisles and in the building to walk and peruse. Plenty of carts and dollys to use for transporting heavy and/or large items. Really great establishment and well maintained. The staff maintaining the plants are all knowledgeable and prices seem comparable with other establishments. Highly recommended! read more

I go here for cute gifts for my wife and plants for the garden and they have both in abundance. The staff are very helpful and will even pot your plants for you so you don't have to get your hands dirty! read more

I absolutely love this place. Hidden gem for their cafe. I've tried a variety of their breakfast and I always go back to the Benny's. Especially the Salmon Benny. Omg . Delicious. Nice balance of food. The hollandaise sauce is tangier than other places. Interesting flavour. I'm a regular here. I usually stop in for a freshly baked muffin in the mornings. Truth is I stop in for two. Try the Bacon Corn Spinich muffin. It is absolutely the best tasting creation ever. Get 2 read more

Since I have an obsession with plants, flowers, and all the knicknacks and home decor that can be bought at a Garden store, I decided to lunch at the small cafe located within GardenWorks at Mandeville just off of Marine Drive in Burnaby. The cafe set up was different than I thought it would be. We went up to a counter to order our food, were provided with a number, paid, and then had to choose a table where we wanted to sit. The staff at the counter seemed quite disorganized, and weren't super knowledgeable about the food, so I was a little worried at what the final outcome of the entire experience was going to be. Once we paid for our meal, we opted to sit outside on the patio rather than inside, as the seating area inside was really warm and stuffy. The setting outside was really nice with large umbrellas for shade, small fountains, and lots of plants (my kind of patio dining!) Our food came out quite quickly, which was nice since we both were on a lunch break, and the portions were great for lunchtime. We had the following: Butter Chicken Panini with House salad Turkey Brie and Cranberry sauce panini on toasted cranberry bread with home made mushroom soup. (foodporn pictures attached + an interior picture + some pretty flowers for my fellow fresh flower addicts out there:)) The food was delicious!!! I was pleasantly surprised how great it actually was since I was a bit skeptical from the ordering experience. Everything was great once we had food. The only two things I would say need improvement are the following: - Train the staff at the counter a little bit better to be more informed about the food, how much upgrades are, etc... - Provide ice for the self serve water station. It was really hot yesterday, and the luke warm water that came from the tap didn't help so much in keeping me cool. I asked for ice and it was provided no problem, but I'm sure others would appreciate not having to ask for ice every time. http://gardenworks.ca/page361.htm read more

With the new renovated restaurant space there is a fancy new menu, great baked goods and the breakfast are definitely improved!

Plant Nursery/Garden Centre is and oasis on Marine Drive Road between Vancouver and New West. Visited on rainy hoilday Monday to look around. My visit was full of colour with so many healthily plants and flowers in bloom. (see photos) They have large well stocked location so give youself at least 45 min to look around there is no need to rush your visit. They have a coffee shop/cafe on site and a florist that has a large walk in cooler which they encourage customers to explore. GardenWorks has the concept of retailtainment down. read more

GardenWorks - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Huge selection of seeds and equipment for sprouting, in addition to everything else you'd expect from a nursery. There's a clothing/gifts section, too. The problem is you cannot escape this place without spending all your budget, maybe more! read more

A great garden shop in this chain, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and the selection of plants and products is quite diverse. The cafe here also offers tasty food, though the wait is a bit long. The downside is the parking lot is rather small and cramped, and not laid out very well. read more

This Review is for their Chicks and Cheese "Ladies Night Out". There may have been a few boccocinis on a stick for cheese, and did the bird reference refer to women? WTsexistF? -This event was poorly organized and not as advertised -I came with friends after work and were expecting a few dinner appies and a few hours of quality shopping time, and unfortunately we had none of those, and the cafe was closed for the event, so we couldn't even buy food to feed our starving souls!! And the "free" coffee was terrible. No teabags left, only dirty cups by the self serve beverage area -seriously, Costco samples were not only more generous, they tasted better too! -the crowds made shopping challenging (they had some beautiful decor, clothing and house/kitchen items in addition to the plants and flowers) - I think paying a $5 of $10 entry fee or required donation to a charity would have deterred some of the people lining up for free stuff and improved the shopping experience -the Rogers chocolate line-up was ridiculous, the sales rep spent 5 minutes talking to each person - Obviously people came for the free wine and other goodies, but there were upwards of a few hundred people lining up to have wine served, every line was busy -the parking lot was so full people had to park on Nelson which had no streetlights, so it was really dark and not that safe -NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

AMAZING GARDEN CENTRE!! I'll definitely come again and again. I'm very satisfied with my find of seeds for sprouting for salads, sandwiches, and other delicious recipes. It felt very therapeutic walking through the store looking at the different plants and plant related paraphernalia. And the plethora of different smells of the variety of plants was just lovely! read more

Can't believe how big this place is! I always go to the North Van store which is great but small. Perfect for the city though. Unfortunately the Marine Drive location was out of stock of the pots I wanted to get. Will have to go back to the North Van one The varieties and options are vast. TI enjoyed my visit and definitely didn't leave empty handed. The store is clean and well maintained and staff around to help out whenever you need it. I'm looking forward to my next visit already! read more

So I totally have a brown thumb but this year I was feeling exceptionally green and decided to give this gardening business one more try. Having very little knowledge of what these plants where or how to keep them alive, I continued on pretending to look like I knew what I was talking about while my husband looked on. Initially I was a little intimidated by the shear number of plants that they had to offer, not to mention all their nifty garden gear but I felt right at home as their cat "boyfriend" greeted us with licks, purrs and demands for belly scratching. Owen found us lost amongst the vine plants and gave us excellent advice and insight into what we should look for. He suggested a "Green Tea" plant and thankfully talked us out of the Kiwi plant! With our new purchase in hand I was thrilled to discover that if you buy a plant and a pot from GardenWorks, they will plant it in the pot for you, for free! If your living in an apartment this an excellent option, not to mention it also saves you the fear of killing the plant if your as terrible of a gardener as myself! Heidi planted our new addition for us and even suggested putting herbs in around the pot, which she also planted for us. Heidi gave us priceless information on what all gardeners know from Birth...(Ya I'm feeling a bit like a pro at this point) and gave us the low down on easy care tropical plants and what to do if we have a fly problem! I am so thrilled with our new "patio garden" that I cannot wait to return to GardenWorks to add some fabulous plants to our lush garden! read more

Mandeville has been bought out by Gardenworks. It's OK, though, I wouldn't know the difference. This place is vast, has a lot of space, and even has a restaurant with a fireplace. Though I went when the restaurant was closed, and thus, the fireplace wasn't on. Boo. What did I buy here... ah! Honey Eucalyptus. Didn't even know I needed it. read more

GardenWorks is the Home Depot of nurseries. Jack of all trades, but master of none. They have the depth and breath of a Home Depot for all your indoor and outdoor garden needs. Prices reflect that as well. Herbs costs $5/plant. Ouch. Compared to the other nurseries nearby it is ~$3 more per plant. They do have a lot more selection on fertilizers and soil. However, if you want to look for more specific garden needs than "a Home Depot special", I suggest you look elsewhere. read more

Magnificent selection of plants but the staff can be really unprofessional -- the last time I was there, they mischarged me by more than $25 on an order of over $400. I called as soon as I got home and discovered the mistake, following it up twice more with messages to their manager over the next week. They didn't even return the call. So poor. read more

First impression is good. There are 2 very seasoned associates who really know their stuff but they move swiftly and are working very hard. The rest of the personnel are rude , snippy and actually not very knowledgeable . The front cash register area is so hot that you don't want to wait to pay. Please put fans there. The prices are higher than everyone elses on everything. No good deals here. They have a lot of bric a brac, clothes and even a cafe which is a nice touch however the food and coffee is awful . I have gone a few times in hopes that the experience would improve. I have my own greenhouse and had plant stores when I was younger so my plant knowledge is pretty good. Most of the plants have been imported from California which is okay but expensive. Improve the experience. Put fans on, train staff to have some manners and try to get your prices in line with the market. read more

I love jasmine flowers, so last summer, i bought them from Garden Works, and i am VERY happy. I bought a few indoor ones, and two specifically for the outdoors as I wanted vines. There are so many blooms on my plants, and they are actually surviving in the outdoors this winter! I am so pleased I also bought a raspberry plant and next year i hope to buy a few strawberries, it is all worth the price and drive down here. :) read more

I am not happy with my plant purchases this year. I bought begonias that had already had a few blooms but now that they are gone no new buds. Lobelia and coleus not doing well at all. Disappointed as the prices are a bit steep. read more

I was in this beautiful store for the first and last time today. While I found everything for sale to be so lovely and enjoyed shopping, once I got to the cashier I found her to be very impatient and rude. I definitely didn't feel welcome or that my patronage was appreciated. Disappointing read more

This review is for the cafe. Originally a hidden gem in Vancouver, they jacked their prices up to phenomenal levels. $12.99 for a cranberry and turkey sandwich with less than 1" thickness and so small it's almost insulting. The food quality is good but the prices are only for people who don't care about wasting money. It's simply not worth it anymore. read more

There are TWO things for sure I can count on in this crazy life to bring me comfort and peace...ONE-taking an afternoon nap and TWO- going to Mandeville garden's!!! I was there this past weekend, looking for plants and after perusing the grounds I was imagining all the possibilities I could have on my 80 square foot balcony in sky, I noticed something very unusual, or rather refreshing I should say. Nobody at the garden centre seemed to be unhappy, everyone was smiling, children were picking out a hanging basket of bleeding hearts for their mum for mother's day (bleck), and most of all the associates were pleased to offer assistance. Could I be dreaming? is this truly the happiest place on earth? (next to Disney land) I then began to fantasize about what it would be like to work at a place like this, would I want to be in charge of the herbs, or would I be the guy who pruned all the lavender plants? I bet I would work in the shrub department, or even better yet I think I would simply help people out to their car with their treasures! ha! ..ok seriously I think all the oxygen was getting to me. how could you ever be unhappy surrounded by plants! the end. read more

Can I just say that Gardenworks has taken my black thumb to green. This past fall I bought a little Fat Albert that I will be keeping on my balcony until Christmas, at which time I will have my own life Christmas tree with out the cost and dying nettles. When I went to purchase, I got just the PERFECT tree and all the good, sound advice a tree/plant novice like me needs. I was also able to come back a week later to pick it up. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They also know how to detatch me from my money!!! read more

I only go to GardenWorks (previously Mandeville Gardens) for quality annuals in this neck of the woods. I know there are great secret hideaways/sellers in the lower mainland but I now live 10 minutes from this store. I just want to add a tip about going to reputable garden centers because I've had horrible experiences in big stores like walmart and their annuals being infested with aphids and spider mites. Be careful what you bring home especially to the novice gardeners. The pros will know to quarantine or at least thoroughly examine for a healthy plant(roots and leaves and under the leaves). This GardenWorks store is not just for gardeners but also home decorators too and others who just like to look and have a whole sensory experience because their store/gift shop is full of knickknacks and cutesy fairies and otherworldly figurines and statues. The little eatery is a great idea but I have never tried it at a time when it was open or serving anything. I somehow make it inbetween meals or way after hours/after work. I wouldn't even know if it was still open. Customer service is very good and everyone is friendly without being intrusive. I have spent hours and hours picking pots or sets of plants and not a soul bothered me while I paced up and down and went back and forth, holding this up, putting that back in its spot, lifting the one next to it etc. The one thing I'm not crazy about is the bonsai which is commercially grown and designed in very standard forms. I also didn't like the bonsai pots available which were tacky and mainstream. I've been learning about bonsai and training bonsai for almost over 10 years. There are better specialty stores in the lower mainland and White Rock for bonsai and the best information is on the web. Some specialty bonsai stores also offer training workshops for people who are more interactive. If you've known all of this and see the bonsai here at GardenWorks, you won't be too impressed. The plants are healthy but the art and soul is lacking - not true bonsai. That's about it! I could wax poetic. read more

Zombies work here. No personality and one older white female helper seemed very sarcastic and rude...pity, because it's a big place with lots of cool plants. They just need to change the client service people. read more

Excellent selection of plants. Prices aren't cheap so it's not someplace you want to go to pick up just your everyday petunias, pansies, etc. But if you're looking for a diverse selection, this place is pretty good. They also have a large section of gift items & home decor. We had lunch in their bistro. Very nice frittata (I don't recommend their London Fog). read more

Decent nursery. Well stocked with healthy and happy plants and planting supplies. You will find everything you need here and at reasonable prices.

I drove my friend here so she could return a bottle of unopened insecticide we bought together the day before. The man by the name of Conway who she dealt with for the return was horrendous. From the very start he was constantly condescending and rude by saying what shes doing is illegal kus shes "selling" it back to them and she doesn't have a license to do that. We were not told by anyone upon purchase that there was no refunds on insecticides AND their website guaranteed refunds with receipt. Eventually he authorized the return but not before causing a scene in the cashier area and telling her to never do it again like she did something terrible. At no point was she uncompliant during his tirade and she came back to the car crying from her interaction with him. Called both head office and the manager of that location but have not heard back. Ive seen other reviews elsewhere had problems with him too a year ago, seems like they don't take your complaints seriously if he's still a problem a year later. read more

It was my first time visiting this place. While the place itself was lovely and there was ample parking, the service was disappointing. I spoke with no less than four staff persons - not one was able to answer a simple question as to whether they had a particular plant which had been advertised on their website. The last person said she would find out and come back. After waiting for more than 10 minutes for her to come back, we left. In addition, there was a white couple who looked to be in their 30s who were walking about inside Garden Works without masks, but not even one employee asked them to wear their masks or leave. In fact, they were speaking with an employee in the garden, while unmasked!! It was disgraceful and it made us feel quite unsafe. I did not want to engage with them in my capacity as a customer as they appeared to be the sort who would get aggressive. However, they were breaking the law, and the store should have asked them to get with it or leave. read more

Excellent selection but SO EXPENSIVE. 6x more expensive than it should be, and than the local places in the area. If you don't care how much you spend, you'll love the selection of wonderful plants. But geez, talk about rip off. read more

This is the place to come when you need a wide selection of plants, annuals and perennials - and absolutely the best choice if you require assistance. Other small nurseries in the area have much lower prices, but the choice is limited and no one helps you. Here at GardenWorks there is an expert named Dawn who goes out of her way to answer questions. She took considerable time on a busy day to help me fill a large container with "thrillers, fillers and spillers". Being a novice gardener, I really valued her advice and her eye for good design. This garden center also sells lots of garden accessories and gifts, plus there is a casual restaurant for those who want to have a light meal. Would award this place 5 stars if they were not so expensive! read more
