5 Best Nursery Centres in Toronto (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Talise Sterling, Goods and Shopping · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 7 min read

A dying fiddle leaf fig has a way of sending people down a rabbit hole of plant shop reviews at 11pm. Toronto has a wide spread of options, from big garden centres selling trees and shrubs to small houseplant studios that'll walk you through watering schedules. This list ranks five of them by their real Google track record.

Short answer: Chive Inc leads this list with a 4.9-star rating from 1,467 reviews, the largest and highest-rated houseplant shop here. For weddings and events specifically, Toronto Flower Gallery (4.5 stars, 631 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.

Watch: 5 Best Nursery Centres in Toronto (2026)

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

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five?

We ranked every plant shop, nursery and florist that appeared for this search by real Google rating, review volume and how recently customers were still reviewing.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in July 2026 and gets refreshed as ratings and review counts change.

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.
