Over the years we have purchased many many items at Sheridan Whitby, we have always found it a bit…read moreexpensive but like the product. Yesterday we had the worst experience, we purchased two ceramic pots for indoor plants we have, when we got home we found that they were too small. Went back to the store immediately, the clerk advised we could not return or exchange for larger pots as it was a final sale, of course we would pay more for the larger pots. She checked with the manager who also said no. So basically 20 mins later we were out $150.00 when all we wanted to do was spend more money. Bye Bye Sheridan and Hello Vandermeer where they have a 30 day return policy on all items all the time.

Oh what a beautiful thing this nursery is, with great quality plants and a diverse selection of indoor and outdoor varieties. The staff is amazing and very knowledgable. They addressed all my questions and spent time walking through some tips that would help me with my garden project.

John Rose Farm is run by the sweetest people!!! It's located in Ajax inside the "Eyebrow Threading…read moreLady" shop. Plenty of parking in their parking lot. It does get busy at certain times of the day, but cars come in and out frequently. I first cake here to purchase some beneficial bugs a few months ago to control fungus gnats. It was $0.50/pack (so reasonable) and they're good for many different types of pests. I plan on getting way more of them when they're available. They have an online store and an Etsy shop where you can buy plants online. I haven't purchased any plants from them yet, so can't comment on the quality. But back to me saying they're the sweetest people ever. The owners of John Rose Farm had way too many apples to pick before they went bad. They posted on Instagram saying they were giving away free apples. You could pick it up from their pop-up location. I offered to pick it up there, but the owner said there would be lots of traffic going that way at that time, so she dropped it off at my house instead. Sooooo kind!!! I also know a few people who have worked with them before and said they were really nice people too. Def the kind of local businesses I love to support!

You can take a walk around without feeling any pressure, yet still able to get help/service very easily. Everything is on display is user friendly to touch and compare, layout works nicely. The staff are highly visible and really friendly and knowledgable. All the prices are well posted, and shows the discount for bigger orders(box vs skid). We were helped by the Gordon aka the "veneer guy", he was really nice and he didn't even work on commission! That type of service is hard to find in this day and age. Definitely recommend this place if you need stone for the house, fireplace, BBQ, great selection of man made to real rock from local Ontario quarries to foreign soil. They also have the standard rocks, stone, soil and mulch but didn't look into that pricing yet. Overall: great service and pricing

I used to drop by Ajax practically every weekend. I stopped doing it for a couple of years, but I…read morerecently revisited what I used to do. Instead, I drop by once a month. When I am in Ajax, I pass by the Real Canadian Superstore often. Shockingly, I had never been in the store until yesterday. My dear friend and I like Joe Fresh. We decided to drop by and check out what this supermarket has to offer. It's a large, typical Real Canadian Superstore. We found the Joe Fresh area and browsed. She was there to look at pants and jeans. I love the selection in this section, especially the loungewear. I like coming to this store to check out nail polish. I haven't given the Joe Fresh brand a try. One of these days, I will give it a shot. There is a huge assortment of gift cards. I have never seen anything like it. I also loved that you can get the lowest price on M&M's chocolate bars. I was happy. The produce is fresh. I also love the bakery. There was plenty of parking here, even with the extra gardening section that blocked up part of it. I will need to visit this store more often. It's tough when you have this store and a decent Sobey's roughly a block away. (177)

This is a big, bright beautiful store, with logically organized aisles (I hate it when they label a…read more"cookies" aisle, but not one for crackers - Real Canadian labels them both!). Their seafood section, deli and meat section always features very fresh products. Anything that isn't is sold for discount. If you want to buy deli meat, I recommend buying it from the actually deli counter. The lower cost will save you money. The lack of packaging will save the environment. Win-win, I call it! I bought $5 of parma prosciutto at the deli counter, and the same product would have cost $10 from the fridge case. They have a wide selection of foods from various cultures and cuisines, in addition to books, magazines, clothing and household items. You could do pretty much anything here except auto repairs! There is even a wine store in there. If you want one-stop shopping, then this is the place to go!

I went to buy some plants to grow along side my daughter. (I was pregnant and thought it would be…read moreso nice to have a plant like that!) I didn't notice at first, but there was someone tailing me. I walked back and forth to be certain. Soon he was just standing two feet away from me. I ended up buying some plants (which I probably shouldn't have. One had some sort of blight.) I was going to ask for help at the counter. However, they were pretty rude at the cash and it was then I realized the follower worked there. Then two of them followed me all the way to the car. I don't know if they thought my pregnant belly was a plant or something, but I was just wearing a summer dress and sandals. No where to hide anything. Plus I was holding my wallet. No purse at all. Honestly, I was scared of the two workers following me. I called my friend to tell her just in case they decided to jump me. When I got to the car, they stared at me and quickly put my plants in the back, then drive away. I have never seen such behaviour and I'm still wondering if they were planning to jump or attack me. I will not shop there again.

The main store at Lowe's is still closed to the public but the Garden Centre is open! They're even…read moreopen till 8pm making it super convenient to stock up on supplies whenever. The Garden Centre has been meticulously sectioned for appropriate social distancing. The lanes are pretty narrow between the rows of plants so most of them are one way only. The signs are at eye-level so it's hard to miss to know which way to go. They even have a disposal station for PPE at the exit for used masks and wipes. All of the employees are Lowe's are super friendly and took the initiative to find out if we needed help. I did some research online ahead of time to see if they had the specific products I wanted in stock at this particular location and they did! Lowe's was the only place that had the bulk sizes of Pro-Mix soil in stock. The product was on sale but the sign hadn't been changed yet. An associate was able to scan the item and let us know what the updated price was. One interesting thing that I saw was that there were torn bags of mulch that were heavily discounted. It was made clear on the sign that the bags were opened and they were separate from the new bags of mulch so you won't have to worry about accidentally getting an opened bag. I had a really pleasant trip picking up gardening supplies! Highly recommend coming to this location for gardening goodies.

Located in the heart of Old Whitby, Growers World has a wide range of competitively-priced products…read morefor both the indoor and the outdoor grower. The store is in a beautiful vintage building, airy and spacious. With neatly laid-out, organized product displays, browsing is easy. Their selection of fertilizers, for example, is so wide ranging, both in terms of selection and pricing. It's difficult to know which product to select. The knowledgeable staff was able to answer all my questions, and inform me of the advantages, disadvanges and tips fo using various different products, from soil addiditves to fungicides. Growers World is a newly-opened store, and I was pleased to see that they are planning to offer a range of courses, covering a variety of growing techniques. I recommend this store to both experienced and novice growers, and anyone curious to learn more about it.

Terrible business ethic, extremely unreliable, and will never see any more of my business. So on my way home I found a different place and spent my $1300 on a new complete tent set up and now they will get my business.
