Amazing greenhouse and garden centre. The staff and owner were very helpful in helping us find complementary plants. The choice of plants is vast and interesting, including many unusual varietals, art, baskets, .... I've included some of my favorites, but there were so many! Google reviews asks if this place is wheelchair accessible. It is,but the alleys and what's are small river gravel.
Nice find! Was looking for a specific, hard-to-find perreniel plant that none of the Calgary locations had this year. Called Patty at Vales and she had a few. We drove out and voila! What a great greenhouse...I ended up buying extra items because I just couldn't resist. The staff is über friendly and helpful, and it's obviously a much beloved location because everyone there seemed to know one another... You know the place: people chat about plants while shopping, while looking, while waiting in line, etc. Loved it!
We go here every year for their art show. It is a beautiful venue for the art displayed amongst all the plants and shrubs. You will see art from numerous artist's in different mediums: painting, ceramics, wood, glass, and crafts. All the work is quality and the prices are reasonable. There are top artists selling here, and are often present. You can also purchase plants and other gardening items and the staff is numerous and very helpful.
Had a mostly pleasant experience at Vales. Large selection of plants and a nice place to walk around. On the downside they are currently restricting children under the age of 16 due to COVID-19. While I understand the need to take precautions the other greenhouses in my area don't seem to have this restriction and it seems a little random. The child I had with me is a baby which obviously can't be left alone or attended by someone else at this point and is also not actively touching things and is in a stroller the entire time. If you would like to procure a unique set of plants for your garden I would recommend this place but given my experience recently and past experiences they are not the most family friendly.
Amazing helpful staff and a wonderful selection.
Outstanding service and exceptional plants. I will return time and time again. Children ARE allowed and they love looking at the plants and helping parents select them. When children wish to run around and play, there's a park right next door. Go to Vales in the early evening, as there are less people there.
Very disappointed by their policy of not allowing minors. We love the selection and the knowledgeable staff however will not be returning in the future due to this. You are actively choosing to exclude young families from your clientele which is a large demographic. Not everyone wants to or can hire child care just to go shopping at your centre. Trust that parents are responsible enough to watch their own children and that if they break something the parent will be responsible to buy it (like every other business in the world, you guys are not special!). And seriously, does the average 15 year old go around smashing pots or licking plants?! Anyone with children should go to the Saskatoon farm; also a great selection and family friendly.
