I love Van Wingerden, not just for their beautiful, healthy plants, but also for their little gift…read moresection. It is not huge, but somehow I almost always find the perfect thing, whether it is a hostess gift, a small thoughtful present, or just something I decide I need for myself. Their gift selection feels really unique and not like the usual stuff you see everywhere else. They also have really nice greeting cards at super reasonable prices, usually about half of what you would pay at the pharmacy, and they feel so much more personal than those generic cards. It is one of those places that just feels special when you walk in, and I pretty much always leave with something I love.

I called around with heirloom seeds in my hand trying to pay someone to start my seeds for me…read morebecause my greenhouse had blown over. Tom, at Vanwingerden, agreed to take my seeds and germinate them. He sent me pictures of the plants germinated in April and told me I could pick them up in "a month or so". Some didn't come up and I told him not to worry about those ones. The deal was I would buy the starts back. I called before mother's day to pick up the starts with no response. I called after mother's day only to discover Tom gave away ALL the plants to one of his employees. Not only did he give this employee the plants, he gave her ALL my seeds as well and then tells me he doesn't want to bug her to ask for anything back because of a loss in her family. Why would I bring seeds in and give them to their office if I didn't want the plants? Why would he get my hopes up by sending me a picture of the plants? What would ever make him think it was ok to give away my heirloom seeds? I blindly trusted and shouldn't have. The whole thing makes no sense at all and I feel totally robbed.

Dean's Greenhouse was a fantastic experience yesterday. This place was full of outdoor/indoor…read moreplants with big selections to choose from and it also had lime trees, fig trees, olive trees and hanging plants as well. It was fun joining besty for a plant shopping. You can grab a free coffee or buy water for 50cents to keep your energy going. Lotsa traffic if you go in the afternoon so shop early! It took us an hour drive from Scott Rd to get to Devan's. Petting zoo area can lure kids and animal lovers. You can buy animal treats for a quarter to feed goats. I also got to see chickens and baby goats as well. They were so cute. They sell the sweetest cherries ever it costs $1.49 per lb. Definitely go-to place for a plant shopping!

Ok this place is far if you live in Vancouver. Buuuuut, it has the biggest selection of…read morehouseplants, including quite a few rare varieties and hanging versions of more common potted species eg. Staghorn fern. The plants here are super reasonably priced. Its worth coming out here for the variety and price. There's also aquatic plants, veggies, outdoor landscaping plants, soil, ammendments, seeds, trellises and pots and even snacks? at the cashier. I got a vanilla orchid plant here for probably at least $10-20 less than at a nursery or garden centre in Vancouver. I did notice some plants seemed to be sold out, but they were very specific so I think it wouldn't be an issue for most people. The parking lot is huge. Traffic where it's located was bad because there was active construction going on, so try to go outside of rush hour. Staff was friendly. Overall, worth a stop if you are in the area and worth the drive at least once in the spring.

Everything is grown by them, Andrea and Justin, in their greenhouses so no middle man! Beautiful healthy plants, evergreens and right now, pumpkins! Very nice selection of perennials. I learned from Andrea that they got their start in 2019. Prices are actually based on container size (most items) which makes it super affordable to try something you might not otherwise dare to. Be sure and check out their logo t-shirts/tanks. They are so soft! I can hardly wait to go back!
