TL;DR/The Short Version:
Greenhouse in Laval. Lots of plants and cute succulents. Nothing too exotic or unusual but good prices.
The Long Version:
I made a special trip from Ottawa to Laval to visit the greenhouse down the street as it had a specific plant I was looking for that was not available locally (Serres Lavoie) and was excited to see there was another greenhouse so close by (Serres Leblanc). So after going to Serres Lavoie, I popped over to Serres Leblanc.
Serres Leblanc has a lot of plants, including cute succulents, but they do not have exotic or unusual succulents, which is primarily what I'm looking to add to my collection. So I decided to get some plant here for my mother and sister-in-law instead. They are also both into indoor plants. My mom needs hardy plants that can withstand occasional overwatering or underwatering, lol. So I got her a variegated Crassula perforata (commonly known as string of buttons). The variegation adds a nice pop to the colouring and jade plants are fairly forgiving of imperfect watering.
My sister-in-law likes all plants and can tolerate high maintenance plants, lol. She already has a lot of plants, so I wasn't really sure what to get her. I ended up getting her a variegated Graptoveria titubans. Can you tell I like variegated plants? Lol. I liked the pinkish hue and it's small so won't take up too much space.
The plants were $6 each. What a great deal.
Staff greeted me when I entered but just let me be to browse around, which I liked. After I paid and carried my purchases to my car, an older gentleman who worked there followed me outside and asked me if I wanted a free bag of freshly cut chives. He had me at free! Lol. I gladly accepted and thanked him for his generosity. I gifted my mom the chives along with her plant. Haha.
Free parking is available on-site in their private parking lot.
