GARDENWORKS North Shore

We give these Vancouver garden stores two green thumbs up

This major garden centre in North Van (they have two other locations in Burnaby as well) prides itself on having having "everything you need to make your garden work." This, of course, includes seeds, plants, soil, fertilizers and tools, but it also includes ready, expert advice from their all-star staff and informative monthly newsletter. Tips and advice on how to tend your outdoor space throughout the year are extremely helpful and of course the centre itself will equip you with the practical tools you need. Check out their frequent in-store events for kids and adults alike.
