Garden centres in Toronto will help you develop your green thumb. Every great urban gardener will tell you that sourcing your plants and gardening supplies from a quality supplier is key to your planting success.
So what makes a good garden centre? A few key ingredients are imperative; a large selection of plants and/or other gardening essentials, helpful and knowledgeable staff, and a well-organized store, so even novice gardeners can find what they're looking for.
Here are my picks for the top garden centres in Toronto.

This full service garden centre bursts onto the sidewalk with an array of seasonal plants and accessories. In addition to annuals, perennials, plants, trees, shrubs, there's every type of gardening gear you could possibly think of.

A traditional florist shop with a hidden secret garden centre, East of Eliza is perfect for finding that pretty little something for a special event or a permanent fixture in your garden oasis. They're known for their whimsical approach to planter boxes and floral arrangements.
Davenport Garden Centre
The seasonal garden centre at Davenport and Dupont and on Bayview opens up shop every spring. Here you'll find annuals, perennials, shrubs, pots, planters, herbs and vegetables.
