Seaway Farms — Local services in Niagara-on-the-Lake

If I could give this garden negative stars, I would. I believe the rave reviews are written and posted by the owners and their employees. Firstly, I went to this garden centre, mistakenly under the impression they sell garden flowers - all kinds and varieties of flowers. No such thing. They had a small handful of varieties of garden plants and A LOT of garden junk - mostly, fibreglass animals, pots and a countless array of doormats...who knew there were that many kinds!

I did find two plants, each with two open flowers, that I really liked and decided to purchase. I took them to the checkout desk, where the cashier imposed her view that the plants I had selected were very difficult to maintain outside of the "nursery" environment and that the plants would be better off there rather than in the ambient environment of my home - remember that, these are garden plants that I had selected for purchase. Upon her insistence, I decided not to purchase them.

The following day I thought, "how ridiculous!" and went back to purchase these same plants, only to find that all of the flowers had been cut off from all of the plants of this particular variety. I was shocked! I did find one plant that had one flower that hadn't been removed, which I selected to purchase. I went to the cash register to pay for it and advised that very same cashier, that misinformed me the day before, that I didn't appreciate what she had done and that I would have purchased both plants if they still had the flowers intact. As such, I purchased only the one plant - so I still got what I wanted, though I never expected to be misled/deceived by the staff. I won't be going there again - who needs the drama! I'm just grateful that the staff are quite sloppy at what they do and overlooked a flower on on one of the potted plans!!! All round - I got what I wanted, and the cashier had and...

I've come from Toronto for many years to buy my annuals at Seaway and I was always happy. I'm a long time experienced gardener of 53 years. I missed my annual visit for the last two years....but when I went this year I bought a couple hundred dollars worth. I was disappointed with the $11.99 million bells. I bought 6 for $66. and kept 3 myself and gave 3 to a friend. All the ones my friend had died within a week or two....and mine were struggling but I lot them to grow. Though after about 6 weeks two of mine mysteriously died....a few plants in the pot and just recently the third died. I was not happy. They are all sitting in the garage and I debated to drive in and complain. I don't need my money back so I thought it would be a waste of time and effort. We have now moved to Thorold from Toronto and I'm discovering many nurseries I like better. I won't be going back. The soil whatever was used was not right. The water flowed right thru it. My friend even sensed the soil wasn't right and transplanted but a little too late she said. Makes me have second thoughts about giving my friends plants as gifts. I did buy hundreds of dollars worth for the lady that moved into our place in Toronto and she reimbursed me for the cost but they were so healthy and thriving I couldn't believe my eyes when I visited recently. That;s where I'll go back for certain. The items I bought there are also thriving. I don't know if Seaway grows their own or gets plants from growers but something was wrong with the soil of the $11.99 hanging...

We are avid plant enthusiasts, which is why we were thrilled to visit farms near Niagara Falls last week. During our exploration, we came across a massive garden store with a stunning greenhouse setup on the way to Niagara-on-the-Lake.

This garden store boasts an impressive variety of kitchen herbs, vegetables, flowers, and fruit plants. They also offer a great selection of container pot plants, making it the perfect destination for all your gardening needs. Whatever you require for your garden, from soil to mulch and fertilizer, they have it all.

One thing that caught my attention was the extensive range of hanging pot options available at this garden store. They even had some exceptionally rare plants. Additionally, they showcased a diverse collection of succulents, indoor plants, and decorative pot items, all at very reasonable prices. The location is also easily identifiable, making it convenient for visitors to find.

We highly recommend this garden store, as they cater to both wholesale and retail customers. The ample parking space, wheelchair accessibility, and availability of washrooms add to the overall convenience. Furthermore, the store also hosts a Farmer's Market, offering fresh-cut vegetables, fruits, honey, and nuts. It's a delightful addition to the...
