Plant World - Etobicoke, Ontario

Amazing selection of potted plants and seeds. Came here with a general idea of what I wanted for my apartment and the staff were able to identify the perfect plant for me based on level of care and amount of light. Overall amazing staff. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for indoor or outdoor plants or looking for seeds to plant.

Best plants selection in Toronto. A pleasure to walk through and just see the wonders of nature's​ beauty. Its an utter shame they are closing after several generations and over a 100 years of service and the site will become​ another mundane condominium development.

Terrific nursery. Knowledgeable staff. Lots of history. Huge variety of plants. If in the area and need some inspiration or just want a wander, worth it. We were looking at grasses and perennials predominantly.

Plant world is THE Center to pick up healthy indoor plants. Not only do they have an amazing selection of large and vital looking pot plants, but also have selections of large indoor trees (fiddle leaf figs etc) which are incredibly trendy at the moment.

The pot selection is cute and not just your standard ugly clay pots.

Play world is going to be my first stop come spring.

A solid 4. One of Toronto’s only big greenhouses within reasonable distance. Great variety of tropical plants year round.

Really excellent selection, especially for pollinator-friendly perennials and Canadian annuals. They have a seniors’ and a tradesperson discount, and frequent sales. Workshops and seminars on some weekends (highly recommend!) They have all the pots and knick knacks any garden needs. A lot (maybe too much...cough cough Terra) of random decor, candles, jewelry, hats etc. Prices are average.

GEORGE is amazing. Rest of the staff are hit and miss which is ok, but it can be frustrating if you’re trying to get actual information and get stuck with one of the students or older ladies who seem to hate talking to people.

They are moving soon so I’ve chalked up the occasional poor quality control to that, but I look forward to coming here every time.

This was an Etobicoke shining star. Sadly, after 127 years in business, it's closing at the end if this month, September.
It was an institution for my entire life, purchasing Birthday, Christmas, Anniversary and just because gifts here, amongst the thousands of plants and flowers.
I was there today and took pictures.
It's sad. Very, very sad.
I remember this place fondly, and recall it from decades ago. Back when the land all around it was farm land, farmers with their roadside stands, selling their wares.
Corn on the cob, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, peaches, apples and beans. Fresh from the soil.
Eglinton was a 2 lane road then. There were horses in the fields.
Again, it's sad. Very, very sad.
It's unwelcome replacement is yet, another condo.
A shame and a pitty.
Everything that is still left for sale us 50%-70% off.
Slim pickings.
But the great pumpkin is is still standing proud for anyone who wants to snap a few memories before they're all gone and nothing left to see.
So very, very sad.

Best Plant Store/Nursery in Toronto. A bit expensive compared to big box store garden centre's but well worth it for the quality, variety and knowledgeable staff to answer all your questions.

LOVE Plant World!!! Beautiful products, displayed in chic and fun still lifes. So inspiring! The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful. A great, multi-generation family owned garden center that is simply magical.
