Great place to go in person and shop. My partner and I bought a couple of plants here and they were really good quality. Aside from the succulents (which I always manage to kill no matter where I buy them), our other plants continued to grow really big. Really nice atmosphere and fun to look around at all the plants.

Decent selection of plants, but the service was really awkward and unfriendly. During a short browse through the store, the guy at the front desk looked at us as if we were the biggest inconvenience and kept lurking around asking us if we needed anything with the most annoyed expression on his face. Like, do you not WANT people to look around??At one point, he just stood there watching us, as if we would try to steal something??? Such a weird vibe. I’ve never felt so uncomfortable browsing a plant store before.I did end up purchasing a plant, but the service was a huge turn-off and honestly left a sour taste in my mouth.

We make an annual trip to buy potted geraniums for our condo balcony and always look forward to the outing. For years we went to a very large nursery that is no longer in business so we have had to look around for a good substitute. Today we tried another nuersery but they neither had what we were looking for nor seemed to care whether we shopped there or not. Not only did Davenport Garden Centre have exactly what we were looking for but the customer service was absolutely excellent. The extremely pleasant young woman who helped us actually carried our purchases well down the street where we had parked and loaded them into our car for us. We intend to recommend Davenport to our friends and neighbours and we know where we will be shopping next year.We would recommend

I made an online purchase early March and the transaction went through on my credit card, but they cancelled the order, which I found out accidentally by confirming the pick up time for April 1st. The store still doesn't appear to be open, even though it's gardening season. They aren't checking VMs. I sent an email, which they advise on the website, but still no response. Their website simply states they re-open the beginning of April when weather permits. Very unprofessional. They must not need clients.

I was looking for a specific little cactus/succulent. It's not really the season so the lady went to the back and brought twice a full tray of cactus so I could find what I wanted. Great service and great product, not the first time I go there!!

Bought an orange Dragon begonia hanging basket they were just unloading. Brightens up our back gate. Good selection helpful staff and didn't have to wait. Small parking lot plus street parking.

Love this location! Easy to get to, friendly and helpful staff, good prices and a decent little selection. They also have a great selection of pots and planters. Will definitely be back for summer flowers.

Found some lovely plants here for very good prices, and they’ve always had a great selection - even in the colder months. I shopped online and all of the plants I picked out were in perfect condition.

We pre ordered a Christmas tree last year for delivery and were incredibly impressed with the whole process! Delivery was easy - they called when they were 10 minutes away and were really nice. The tree they picked was stunning, and held up wonderfully the entire holiday season. We already placed our order for this year.

This gets a three because while it's not the worst place I've been to, and most of my plants were ok, a third really, and I also found the service lacking, which I will explain.To start, I had been told that all the plants had just been watered that day. When I saw one of the begonias failing, I was concerned because I thought it had been watered. Turns out it was desperate for water. It's doing ok now, but all of it's outer leaves are crispy since bringing it home. The Jasmine I bought looked very concerning, and when I asked about flowering was given little advice. I asked also for general tips and felt a bit brushed off with "weekly watering" as the only general advice for 6 different plants. Especially when I had listened for 5 minutes to the associate help another customer with in depth information. I spent nearly a hundred dollars at that centre and came away with some disappointing plants and feeling dismissed. I would go on to find a beautiful flowering Jasmine elsewhere for the same price that day, and will be continuing to go there in the future, and not returning to the DGC.

We have shopped at all three locations for years, initially for our large garden in Leaside, and most recently for our condo terrace downtown. Pre-pandemic, I would have rated them between 4 and 5; now, though, service has gone down (staff are no longer so knowledgeable), stock is terrible, and prices are the same or higher. Like another reviewer, I was shocked to discover that, while plants looked ok when I picked them up, when I went to plant them I discovered they had literally no root systems. All good things come to an end, I guess; sadly, our love affair with this business is over.
