We compared 20 nursery centres in Toronto on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

Chive Inc, a Queen Street West plant studio, carries a 4.9-star average across more than 1,450 Google reviews, with 96% of them five stars, the strongest combination of rating and volume among the nursery centres in Toronto on this list. Sheridan Nurseries, the biggest garden-centre chain here, has racked up more than 790 reviews but sits lowest on rating at 4.3. Between them sit florists, tropical-plant specialists and a delivery-only studio, each rated between 4.3 and 4.9 stars.

Short answer: Chive Inc leads this list with a 4.9-star rating from more than 1,450 reviews, the largest and highest-rated houseplant shop here. For weddings and events specifically, Toronto Flower Gallery (4.5 stars, more than 630 reviews) is worth knowing about too, though it's primarily a florist rather than a nursery. Expect prices to vary by plant size and pot material across all five.

How we score

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually rated the business, weighed against others in this search. Confidence combines the two, so a perfect rating from a handful of reviews scores lower than a strong rating from over a thousand. Recency tracks how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What does it cost to buy plants in Toronto?

Price depends on plant size, pot material, and whether you’re buying a small houseplant or a full tree for landscaping. Online delivery shops also add a shipping or local delivery fee on top of the plant price. Compare like-for-like sizes across shops before deciding.

Nurseries and plant shops across Toronto

These five span downtown’s Queen St W and Dupont corridors through to midtown Yonge St, with JOMO Studio delivering GTA-wide, so a search for a plant nursery near me should turn up a walk-in or delivery option regardless of neighborhood.

What to ask before you buy plants or book a florist

  • Does the plant come with care instructions or aftercare support?
  • What’s the return or replacement policy if a plant arrives unhealthy?
  • Do you offer local delivery, and how is the plant packaged in cold weather?
  • Are pet-safe options clearly labeled?
  • For event florals, how far in advance do you need the order?
  • Do you offer bulk or wholesale pricing for larger purchases?

Frequently asked questions

Is Toronto Flower Gallery a plant nursery?

Its primary business is cut flowers and event florals, with a secondary wholesale plant nursery listing. If you want potted plants for your home, the other four shops on this list are a better fit.

Can I get plants delivered instead of visiting a store?

JOMO Studio specializes in delivery across Canada, and several of the others offer local GTA delivery too, worth asking directly about your postal code.

The bottom line

Chive Inc is the safe default here for houseplants, with the strongest combination of rating and review volume. If you need trees or landscaping stock, Sheridan Nurseries carries the widest selection. Inspect any plant for pests or damage before you leave the store or accept a delivery.
