Found an awesome Christmas tree here!
Steve is also the best helper ever, very welcoming and knowledgeable! Thanks Steve!
Riley's Garden Centre is well situated along Bath Road to keep it busy through spring, summer and fall. Spring is especially busy and you often see a police car parked in front with its lights flashing to control the congestion. There are only about ten parking spaces in front of Riley's.
Be aware of the no-parking signs on either side of Riley's and on the other side of Bath Road. They are there to prevent the congestion in busy periods spilling out on to the road. If you park in a no-parking space because someone is already in another no-parking space, both will be ticketed when a police vehicle comes by. The only parking outside of Riley's is the plaza on the north east corner of Bath and Collins Bay Roads to the west and the No Frills Supermarket parking lot to the east.
December is another busy time when the plants disappear from the shop and greenhouse. Available instead are Christmas trees and gifts. We always purchase an 8-10 balsam fir and the fragrance of the fresh cut tree pervades our house.
Love this place, its cute and clean!
Amazingly friendly and helpful staff.
Love the quality of their products and garden decor selection.
Love that i am supporting a local business
First time there today. Excellent customer service. Kids working there are super helpful. Rona is very close to my house but I have switched to Riley's for all my garden needs.
I had no idea that Riley's turns into a Christmas gift shop in the fall, but my daughter suggested I go in and see all of the very cool ornaments they offer.
I was here for over an hour as there are literally hundreds and hundreds to choose from!
The staff were super helpful and I was able to buy the perfect, personalized item for six people on my list, and the total bill was only $100.
I have never seen so many Christmas tree decorations for so many specific things. For example, they had four different decorations just for someone who loves bacon. Seriously. (Thats awesome, lol)
I found a decoration that is a sleigh with eight ittle snowmen in it, and they personalized it with the name on each of their hats! Absolutely the perfect keepsake gift. Best of all, just $20. (and it is very well made too)
I highly recommend you stop by and check it out i promise you won't be disappointed.
Maybe best to go in the morning as it can get quite busy In the afternoon I have heard. I went on a rainy day in the morning and it was very quiet.
Super friendly people, nice plants. Interesting veggie seed selection with seeds you don't see at big box stores.
Enjoyed the Christmas displays. Broad assortment of Christmas ornaments.
Friendly helpful staff
Still early in season. But supportive and knowledgeable staff who really care for the customers and plants.
Having worked here for one summer about 20 yrs ago to now Rick and Sally are amazing at what they do. The knowledge and care they put into their business is impeccable. Extremely helpful and really kind people. You can't go wrong buying your plants from them.
