Stopped into the St. Albert Greenhouse the other day on a whim after hitting up 6 greenhouses in…read morethe past 2 weeks. I was pleasantly surprised by quality, value, and variety. They had the best price out of 6 greenhouses and the major ones like HD, Lowe's, Costco, etc. for seed starter packs of 6 annuals - $2.50 for a 6 pack is pretty awesome in this neck of the woods! They had jumbo 6 packs for $4.50 ( $1.50 less than Hole's for example) and I'd say they had even better variety! The staff were friendly and it definitely had a back road country feel. My toddler enjoyed their "barn" cat or rather "greenhouse" cat. There were 5 greenhouses in total - though, the perennial one was lacking - I think Costco had more perennials than this place. None the less, GREAT deals and good varieties! I filled up the back of my vehicle with their selections and I'll be sure to go back again this growing season!

They don't have a massive space but in terms of variety you can't beat it. They have one of the widest selections of plants around (if you are used to big box stores' selection, please go here to discover something different!). The staff will mostly ignore you (which i prefer tbh), but knowledgeable if you ask. The plants are in good shape and well cared-for. I've always had them do well and several times have found things I've never seen anywhere else. It's not fancy (or crazy expensive) like some of the bigger spaces. The space is always a bit of a hole-in-the-wall but hey, you came for the plants, right? Please stay here forever, Agrola, and never change.

We had an absolutely terrible experience with this business. Please do not give them your business,…read morethey do not deserve it! We ordered and PAID FOR seven trees as well as delivery to our house. The owner's daughter showed up dressed extremely inappropriately with her child, who was running around our backyard. The owner's daughter then proceeded to tear one of our trees out of the ground WITHOUT our permission. She called the owner and told him that the tree was planted incorrectly. The owner then yelled at my husband, saying we have to pay more to get the trees we ALREADY PAID FOR because the trees we had from last year were planted incorrectly. My husband, calmly, told the owner that he demanded a refund, which was issued several hours later. The owner's daughter was screaming at my husband as she left our house, including RACIST insults. I've never had a more unprofessional experience with a business in my life.

**This is written for the West End location, but thought it would be valuable to share here too…read moregiven it's the same company** My family and I have ordered from Funky Petals countless times over the years and have generally been content with what was sent out. However, my recent experience was highly disappointing. I spent $180 (including fees and taxes) on an arrangement of flowers and mentioned that we didn't require a vase since the recipient has dozens of her own. I placed my trust in their team and was hopeful and assured that the arrangement would be quite robust for that price point. Sadly, this particular one is not at all in line with past orders (see photo and you be the judge) which is very unfortunate given this was meant to be a birthday surprise during a very intense and difficult year. Once I saw a photo of the flowers that were sent, I immediately followed up with Anna, who's apparently in management, to express my concerns and she agreed that the arrangement could've been better and apologized a few times for the poor service. Yet, she personally delivered the flowers and clearly felt they were on par with their standards and kept making excuses as to why the arrangement wasn't fully up to their level and offered me a $50 credit as a gesture of goodwill. She also added that the recipient personally called her to share how "beautiful the flowers were". Something about this didn't sound right, so I followed up with the recipient and she mentioned that Anna actually called TWICE to "check-in" on the flowers, which is not their normal practice and the calls took place after I reached out. Way to put someone on the spot and who's going to complain about a gift on their own B-day!? This is super shady and a terrible business tactic, especially given that she specifically said that the recipient was the one who called her, which she did but after Anna left two voices messages. Um... kind of on the edge of harassment. Needless to say, when I shared how much the flowers cost (which I was embarrassed to admit) the recipient was shocked and was convinced that they cost at most half that amount. At this point, I went back to Anna and requested a refund for the $50, which I felt was fair and was still pretty low considering the flowers looked like they came from a grocery store or gas station complied of low-quality stems of old looking roses that were already open, other lackluster & cheap pieces thrown in, as well as tired and droopy carnations. They should've been embarrassed to put their name on this. They also forgot to add the plant food (for whatever life was left in these flowers) and didn't include their signature chocolate, which wasn't missed anyway, but the point is that they had, even more, misses on their part. In the end, nothing was reimbursed as they "don't issue refunds on store credit". Well, what about a refund for a product that I paid good money for and was way overcharged? How is that ethical? I showed the photo to several people in the YEG area and everyone agreed with me they weren't worth that price point. I would've been more than happy to return the flowers, but Anna initially pretended to try and make the situation better, which I was allowing her to do. However, I had to email her twice to even get an initial response and I also didn't want to ruin the B-day surprise. Anna also didn't respond to my last email, which isn't surprising as it seems evasion is clearly their method of choice in customer service. Definitely never ever using any Funky Petals again and have made sure that anyone I know who used them is aware of this disastrous and unprofessional experience. Considering we didn't at all receive the quality of the product we paid for and the company is too stingy to do refunds, this is in my mind on the verge if not full-on consumer fraud. You've been warned, so good luck if you still choose to throw money away here. Just keep in mind that Safeway would be a better and much more affordable option. And yes, plenty of grocery stores also sell stems birds of paradise - they aren't that exotic anymore.

They had a whole section dedicated to theatre seating and had some really unique pieces (giant spinning couch/chairs). Overall, we didn't opt to buy our main pieces here and went with LA Z Boy instead but this place is still worth a luck if you're on the hunt for new furniture. The location is on St. Albert Trail next to a bunch of other furniture places and easy to get to from the Yellowhead or 137th avenue just off St A Trail. This isn't a discount store so expect prices to be higher than the Brick or Leon's for sure.

After your first 1900 km road trip you remember why you paid for more the Acura. We recently purchased several pieces of furniture after a 6 month search. This is solid, fashionable furniture. Quality fabrics, well crafted and timeless style. Even the the deliver people were professional and courteous. I love the feeling of having high quality furniture that gets compliments. Sofaland, we will be back not to replace cheap furniture that didn't hold up up but to purchase more high fashion, durable furniture. You should go too.
