She has never paid for marketing or advertising as her clients are so happy they just pass her along to other friends- she is SUCH a hard worker I get tired just watching. She has transformed my both my front and backyard (two acres total space) from a mess of weeds to a paradise. Ill post photos asap - Im a neophyte when it comes to computers so I need help figuring this out. Thank you Grace ! I highly recommend :)

I have used her as a personal gardener for both spring cleanup, all year planting and pruning and deadheading and weeding, and fall cleanup for over three years and no complaints so far. I saw my neighbour posted some nice review and photos about a year ago and Ive been meaning since then to add my comments, I am so slow. Now I just have to ask my kids to explain to me how to add photos of my stunning garden because I cant figure out Yelp on my own !

One of the most unique botanic gardens I've visited - truly lovely! Unlike most other botanic…read moregardens, you'll find this one on the top floor of a large shopping mall in the heart of downtown Calgary and Stephens Ave walk. Over 2 acres of gardens - with over 500 trees, 50 varieties of plants, fountains, fish ponds, and a 900 sq. ft. living wall, fountains that acts as a natural bio filter. Many of the plants are labeled and there are interesting info signs scattered about. There's a kids playground and even a small climbing wall on one end. Scattered throughout are lots of bistro style tables and chairs. And they have a permanent sculpture exhibit by Tom Ward - such whimsical wooden sculptures - they fit perfectly in the gardens. And turns out, the sculptor was a City of Calgary employee! The city parks department maintains the gardens and they do a lovely job. It was spotless inside and such a relaxing place to take a break after tons of walking around the city. Definitely worth a stop when exploring the downtown core. Highly recommend!

After many years of trying to rely on Mother Nature, I hired the next best thing. Carolyn at The…read moreChinook Gardener drew up and implemented a landscaping plan that meets my needs. Low maintenance and drought resistant! I gave her a blank canvas to work with, provided a few flowers that I'd like to have, and she filled in the rest. She broke the work up by doing the groundwork, then returning a few weeks later to do the planting. They arrived early and were mostly finished that day. Just a few tasks for the next morning. The design looks great and I'm looking forward to everything growing and blossoming! I highly recommend Carolyn and The Chinook Gardener for your gardening and landscaping needs.

They just did our spring cleanup and ended up with a tarp full of debris from our relatively small yard. They usually arrive in a team of 2 or 3 and they comb through the beds quietly and methodically. We also use them for maintenance and they do a great job of ensuring we never see a weed in our flower/shrub beds. Kari will also work with you if you have any special projects or plantings you want done. They will also do flower pots and seasonal pots for your porch at Christmas. Great local company, owned and run by a female entrepreneur. Would definitely recommend.

The Core Shopping Center is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Calgary and is absolutely…read morebeautiful. Everything is meticulously clean and lighting is perfect. One can easily spend hours in here with the wide variety of food, drinks, and shopping options. To top it all off, there is an absolutely stunning garden on the fourth floor with ample seating and complimentary WiFi. I can see myself just posting up there and getting work done, reading a book, or just relaxing. Only downfall is that all the washrooms are on the fourth floor and with how the escalators are set up and small elevators, it can be a pain to get up there. There were a few escalators that were out of service when I visited as well. Overall, phenomenal shopping center that I will definitely be visiting often while here.

From anchor department stores, technology, clothing and personal wares. The gardens are a nice feature too. Very relaxing to stroll through and check out some of the current blooms.

If I worked in one of these buildings, I know that I would absolutely be taking my lunch and eating it out here in the green. Or maybe skip one of the C-Transit light rail trains and hang out here for just a little bit longer. There's just something calming about the sound of a waterfall. Benches for sitting on, or just lay out on the grass. I didn't see anything that says "don't feed the ducks" so there's that going on too!

It has the mirror of the feel of a forest/ nature hiking destination. Not sure why its made that way. It does seem like a waste of space in certain parts of the park.

Here I could comfortably look through the labelled pots in comfortable surroundings and find what I needed. There are copious amounts of flowers, knick knacks, gidgets and gadgets. I got a jade plant that was put outside for the summer and the magpies pecked, but it is thriving still. The plants from Golden acres were hale and hearty. The herbs grew wonderfully and the plants did great even in the hail storms. Overall the prices here are definitely more than the grocery store greenhouse, but we chose things on sale and there are definitely bargains to be found. One of our party scored a nice senior's discount.

I wasn't having a great day going around but alas, I found this place in the innermost part of the zoo. This place actually made my day. At the front lawn, we saw a red giant chair where our group held the mandatory photo ops. Then we proceeded to the left wing of the building where the greenhouse is located. There is a botanical garden with various tropical plants and trees that don't normally grow in Alberta's cold weather. After that, we went to the other side of the building and discovered the butterfly garden. Again, we had a good time snapping pics of butterflies in various colors and species. These butterflies are so tame that they do interact with visitors. That was a really cool experience. Outside of the building is a six acre garden where you can have a picnic,or sit in the benches, or hang out in the gazebo. Enmax is the perfect venue for any corporate events or weddings.
