I've worked with Urban Gardener several times over the past year for both my home and office, and they've been consistently great to work with. They've helped with repotting a very large monstera and several smaller plants, always arriving on time and fully prepared with everything needed. Communication is prompt and professional, they really know their stuff, and they always leave the space looking spotless. They also send helpful follow-up care instructions and even looked after my plants while I was away, which I really appreciated. I've recommended their services to a few friends, and everyone's had a great experience. Whether you need help at home or in your workspace, I highly recommend their shop and in-home services. read more

Our go-to neighbourhood spot for house plants! I love seeing their new plants on their Instagram and website; they frequently have sales and a loyalty program. There is a lot of selection of plants and pots, and also a selection of cute cards. The store offers delivery and pick-up. What I appreciate the most about the Urban Gardener is that if I have a plant-related question, I can message them on Instagram, and they are quick to provide advice. read more

I found this place as I am a newly obsessed plant mama and wanted to get some plants from local places that deliver. I found Urban Gardener on Instagram and absolutely loved their products! They deliver for just $10 anywhere 15km away from their shop. I was a bit confused at first as they don't have an organized online ordering and they just take orders through Instagram or Email now. I took screenshots via their Instagram stories of the plants I wanted and sent them a DM asking if they could deliver to me! I ordered 7 plants for around $190 total with delivery (sansevieria zeylanica, sansevieria laurentii, sansevieria superba, echeveria, monstera, hawothia and peperomia frost). They gave me an email to e-transfer the money to (which at first I thought was sketchy lol) and told me they would deliver it in two days! Before they delivered it, they sent me a text and were happy to accommodate and come a bit earlier than expected :) I am SO happy with my purchase, my plants are thriving and looking so good!! I was a bit concerned at first as my echeveria was missing from the order but I just sent them a DM on Instagram and they were happy to etransfer me the amount back. Would DEFINITELY order from them again! read more

Erin and Joe are the BEST! I recently moved into a new home and although I knew I wanted houseplants, I wasn't sure where to start so I reached out to Urban Gardener to book an in home consultation. Joe and Erin came over to discuss which plants would work best for the space and made the decision process easy when it came to selecting the plants and pots I liked. They also included detailed plant care instructions which was really helpful. I can't say enough about my great experience - highly recommend. check out this follow up email...incredible service! Urban Gardener Feb 9, 2023, 12:23 PM (6 days ago) to me Hi Steve, As promised, here are some care instructions for your new green family members! If you have any questions in the future please don't hesitate to contact our team at our main inbox, as they monitor during business hours 7 days a week and are always happy to help with plant care questions. Miah, Sam, Stephanie, Joe, and I can be reached at hello@urbangardenertoronto.com General recommendations: - Always keep your plants in nursery pots or in pots with good drainage to keep them happiest - Never leave your plants sitting in water for more than 30 minutes. When the soil is saturated and the roots are left sitting in water the plants are likely to get root rot which is hard to recover from. Yellowing or browning leaves is a sign of watering too frequently or leaving your plant sitting in water. - Most tropicals love higher levels of humidity. In the winter, use a humidifier to keep plants happy. Your Ficus Lyrata (living room) and Bird of Paradise (bathroom) are the ones that care most. The bathroom will take care of the Bird of Paradise's needs but adding a small humidifier to the living room will help your Ficus thrive. Daily misting is also an option, though it does not provide consistent humidity. - Your plants should not need to be sized up for at least a year, often longer is ok! Ficus Lyrata Water when top 2 inches of soil is dry, usually every 10 days. Prone to root rot so never let it sit in water. Loves bright, indirect light and high humidity. Hates drafty spots or heating vents. image0.jpeg Dracaena x 2 More drought-tolerant. Water when soil is mostly dry every 2 weeks or so. Loves bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light. image1.jpegimage2.jpeg Sansevieria (Snake plants) x 2 Very drought-tolerant. Water only once per month. Tolerates lower and medium light spots. No misting, likes to be dry! image3.jpeg Bird of Paradise Water when top 2 inches of soil is dry, usually once per week. Loves full sun and high humidity. Can be split into multiple plants when it gets too big for this spot. image4.jpeg Wallygrow (pothos) - Water through the back when leaves are drooping, usually every 7-10 days is ok. If top of soil is still wet, leave for longer between waterings. Philodendron Birkin Loves bright, indirect light Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry usually 7-10 days. image5.jpeg Your smaller plants all have care instructions stuck on the grow pots so you won't forget. I added 2 x philodendron/ pothos to the basement window in the kids play area but they can truly be put anywhere in the house with medium-to-bright, indirect light. Water when leaves start to droop a bit, every 7-10 days or so. Move them to the main floor or kids rooms if you don't want plants in the basement! Remember that we're happy to come by for check ups or annual repotting if you need us Steve. We charge a $50 visit fee + materials and service fees on top of this and I'm happy to give you a quote if you need these services in the future. Enjoy your new lush space, and thanks again for letting us help with this project. It was truly a pleasure to work with you. Sincerely, Erin and Joe read more

I visited this little shop a few days ago. As soon as I entered I felt welcomed by the lady behind the desk. This shop has a great selection of pots that vary from small to quite large. The only thing stopping me from giving this shop a 4 or 5 star rating is the lack of selection or variety of plants themselves. read more

I LOVE this place. They always have a great selection of beautiful, well looked after plants and the staff are really friendly and willing to answer your plant questions. Perfect place to pick up house/condo warming gifts! read more

This is a beautiful store with extremely friendly and knowledgable staff. I go in if I ever need some help with my plants, and they are always ready with great advice. They have an amazing selection of plants and we often come here when we need to pick up a nice gift for someone. Love it! read more

Beautiful shop, very helpful and patient staff. Good selection of gorgeous plants and pots. so happy I found this place!

Very welcoming, excellent quality plants. I really liked all the beautiful planters and how a lot of the 'extras' (pots etc) were made locally. Seriously the plants here are very healthy and the people running this shop are so friendly and kind. Would recommend definitely worth the trip. read more

This review is for landscaping services. Customer service was great, initially, but after we paid it was very difficult to get in touch with anyone. For the price we paid, it really wasn't worth it. We didn't get what we asked for, half the plants died, old plants and roots weren't removed properly and grew back, etc. I ended up having to redo everything myself. On a positive note, it motivated me to develop gardening skills. read more

One of my all time favourite plant shops in Toronto! The staff is very kind and helpful and their selection never disappoints. I really appreciate how they have local artists work in the shop as well. This place is divine. 10/10. read more
