This place fills me with happiness. They always have a great seasonal selection, and the staff is very knowledgable. Especially excellent variety of succulents on hand(my favourites). They also have two lovely black and white tuxedo cats(who are sisters) who live onsite. We always love searching the store and garden area to find both cats each time we visit.

I really like the quaint area of Steveston and this cool garden shop fits the scene. It has a nice moderate selection of unique plants. Cool small selection of succulents, zebra plants and some fun giftware as well. Lots of neat statues and Moai garden sculptures too, a little pricey but cool anyway! Whenever I visit I always have to get something. This place has a great location and when in season it’s usually busy so time your visit right.

This is a really beautiful store and has plenty of variety for all kinds of gardeners. However, customer service does not exist here, another person mentioned that maybe they don’t like Asians, well I am white and I they didn’t seem to like having my business either. At the till they just ring you up, no smiling, no hello, no how are you… nothing, then take your money with their dirt filled hands and give you back your change in the same manner. It’s amazing that businesses like this can survive with such bad customer service.

Stumbled upon this place in the area and decided to buy some seeds as a present for my friend across the border who loves to garden. The center is huge, homely and very inviting on either a sunny or rainy day. Customer service could be a little warmer. Prices were okay.

I just left this store. 3 employees in store, but zero service. I walked around for 10 minutes and no one made any eye contact or greeted me, even when I stood right by them. I think they don’t like Asians maybe? Because the other customer(Chinese) was ignored as she asked for help 2x. Hope that’s not why. Shame on you Prickly Pear! That was the only other customer in store. Awful! Also their prices are 40−100% higher than other shops.

Prickly Pear is a lovely nursery. It has a huge variety of plants to satisfy your plant-lover’s every desire. My Mother loved exploring. Even my Dad who normally hates flowers was delighted by many of the pots and even asked to be photographed with them. The flower arrangements are beautiful. Prickly Pear is super-close to the bay and located near major shopping areas. We grabbed Starbucks coffee across the street and headed over here.

What a gorgeous garden centre! Now that I have a house, I’ve started to have an interest in landscaping. I have been to a few of the big box stores(generally poorer quality plants) and some of the local greenhouses to try and pick out things for the yard. The Prickly Pear is one of my favorites so far! The garden centre has a large selection of plants and flowers and the hanging baskets are the nicest ones I have seen in my search so far with unique mixes of flowers and very full — option to have a plastic or wooden basket as well. Prices are steeper than most where the plastic planters are $ 39.99 each and the wooden ones are $ 49.99 each. For planting, they have the basic geraniums, mums, etc… but have a lovely mix of other unique ones. Large selection of decorative pots and planters. Helpful staff and ample parking at the back. Wonderful place to shop if you’re in the area!
