Golden Acre Home & Garden - Calgary, Alberta

You are greeted by a HUGE parking lot, and then an abundance of variety. I had been searching for specific herbs in the sweltering parking lot competitor's. Here I could comfortably look through the labelled pots in comfortable surroundings and find what I needed.

There are copious amounts of flowers, knick knacks, gidgets and gadgets. I got a jade plant that was put outside for the summer and the magpies pecked, but it is thriving still. The plants from Golden acres were hale and hearty. The herbs grew wonderfully and the plants did great even in the hail storms.

Overall the prices here are definitely more than the grocery store greenhouse, but we chose things on sale and there are definitely bargains to be found. One of our party scored a nice senior's discount.

Fantastic garden centre in Calgary! Delightfully surprised by the sheer size and selection found at this shop. A one stop shop for plants flowers, supplies, decor and more. Lots of variety, you can spend a good hour here just checking out the plants! Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Big parking lot too. Just a wonderful garden to satisfy your gardening needs!

My wife and I have been coming here for maybe 40 years. Consistent high-quality service and products ….they are not inexpensive. However the Service and quality, everything from Christmas trees to tropical plants is really very good. The staff are consistently friendly they managed to hire young people that know what they’re doing and older staff who supervise well. I’m glad that you have been able to have this in our community for so long.

Shout out to the staff for being so very helpful! I had a shaded area in my garden I wanted a coniferous shrub and was having a very difficult time finding the right fit. The staff recommendation was ideal. Not only that, he gave valuable information for further water retention in the garden during our city’s water crisis. I appreciate the knowledge from everyone and will return! The prices may be higher here for some similar shrubs found elsewhere, but given the huge variety and educated staff - I feel they offer great value.

Went to get a Christmas tree. You pay a little more for them, but they are full, tall, and healthy, unlike most of the Charlie Brown trees at the big box stores. Very helpful staff with a smile on their face. Colin was great as always. A wealth of knowledge and more than willing to share it with you with an infectious energy.

My by far favorite garden centre. Conveniently located and easy to get to. Always has many great indoor plants - also many options for people wanting to build live terrariums.

In the spring and summer, expect many great plants and flowers for your yard.

Overall a good store but do NOT buy a Christmas tree from them. Not only are they $20 more than other places but the quality is very bad. Within in a week, the tree is losing branches. We picked the best looking tree we could find and it looks terrible already. A huge disappointment.
