Reviews of Bylands Garden Centre (Florist)

BC Valley Guy

Great selection of decorative accessories! Picked up a wind chime from their wide range of chimes.

Carrie Anne mitchell

Shocked at the high prices compared to other garden shops. My hanging baskets died within a few weeks despite babying them along

Brenda Carleton

Perfect tree at a good price

Ben Seidel

Best nursery around! Excellent for fruit trees and landscape and ornamental gifts. Nice tropical plant area

Carol Parisien

Beautiful garden centre that offers not only indoor/outdoor plants but gorgeous home decor and ladies wear. I found my favorite "Thymes Frasier Fir" scented products! Great selection of garden supplies, bird feeders and garden ornaments and made-to-order cut flower bouquets. Unfortunately not an air conditioned facility.

Sharon Hilland

Patient, knowledgable, friendly, great selection.....all I need.

Morley Soltys

Staff were helpful

Kerry Martinson

This showroom is full of great gift ideas big and small. From small arrangements to setting up a huge event. They have knowledgeable staff to helo you plan a garden from scratch to adding a few new ROSE BUSHES shrubs or flower beds. Large selection of garden tools gloves and fertalizers for yourself or if you have a gardener on your shopping list. BYLANDS also ships huge amounts of trees shrubs and flowers all over North American. A happy Gardener Kerry W. Martinso.

lynda davy

my purchase of the Bamboo grasses was a fail... but I'm very pleased to say Lori the manager heard my disappointment and reached out to me. She went above and beyond to help me find replacement baskets. She was patient and explained exactly what I needed so my plants would be successful. I chose 2 beautiful hanging baskets at no charge! I'm very grateful and definitely will be a customer. Customer service is alive and well at Bylands in West Kelowna♡

Antonin & Verena van der Lely

Best garden center in Kelowna. Greatest selection

John Smith

Great assortment of everything, including tropical plants. The line to pay took 30 min to get though, but that time could have been shorter if they stopped people from sneaking into the front of the line.

Gagandeep Chahal

Shipping staff rude, not organized when try to help them they don't answer or listen and ask trucks to deal your self. Not good for trucks not coming back.

Vivian Evans

Beautiful decor, household plants and flowers at Xmas. Quality plants and big seed selection from late winter spring on for gardeners. Ongoing pants and later bulbs in fall.

Sarah Holland

Lots of variety, very knowledgeable but a bit more expensive compared to some other nurseries in the area.

Jesse Kessler

Frickin awesome early season spring selection for the garden box or bed and landscaping.

Joan Barron

It is a beautiful nursery..a thoroughly delightful afternoon of dreaming what to plant and buying a few for indoors.

Darlene Gaudet

Awesome staff very plesante & helpful. Store displays are gorgeous!

Michelle Graham

Beautiful

Wendy Powers

Expensive

Cindy Nolt

I love it here! Plants, flowers, seeds, supplies, beautiful clothes, home and garden decor and more. I never have enough time to see everything!

Miss S

Good selection of plants, excellent decor area with lots of gift ideas and home decorating items. Would have given 5 stars but the staff aren't that friendly or helpful.

Clare Madaire

I ordered a flower arrangement for a friend who had recently lost someone very close to her. I was delighted with the person who took my call and she assured me she would make up a lovely arrangement. They contacted my friend to let her know that they were going to deliver them and the arrangement was beautiful. She sent me a photo. Thanks! Will use your services again.

Wallace Chow

Good variety and selection, their mini garden is well labelled to give novices an idea of how fully grown samples will look like.

Dave Trapp

Huge selection but staff can't even get an order for a corsage done in time.

Heather Persall

Directed me to exactly what I needed and the price was very good.

Dwayne Iamdwayne

Very disappointed in the knowledge of the staff of their products. This is by far the worst nursery in the Kelowna area. Take the drive over the bridge to the Greenery for better customer service, selection and prices. I was just at Bylands looking for 2 plants a 3 weeks ago. I was told to come back on May 15th because they would be in stock by then. I tried calling on many occasions but I guess they are too understaffed / complacent to return phone calls. So I went back to the store today to learn that I was given the bum steer by their expert, who told me the plants would be in by mid may, only to discover they are not, because they'd already sold out prior to my asking the first time. The ineptitude of the staff has also resulted in my not being able to go elsewhere for the plants because other nurseries are now sold out. They were not sold out when I originally asked the people at Bylands and was told to come back later.

Albert Fretwell

Superb garden centre

Christopher

Really makes me feel at home when the cashier laughs at my overpriced bill. Like sorry your stuffs so expensive it’s funny to the employees.

Tiffany Pare

Never anyone patient enough to help me or answer my questions.

Don

Good. Better prices than some other places and good quality.

Klaus Hassel

Great nursary

Christine Madigan

I went while visiting my mother. I found the prices double what I would pay elsewhere. Though they had nice products

Cindy Stroud

Found just about everything I was looking for in one stop.

shelene Ryan

Bylands has beautiful plants and flowers, I will go out of my way to buy flowers from this location, the flowers are fresh cut and quality is top notch. Customers service is lacking while the staff is helpful at times, they will walk right by you and not even glance or ask if you need help. Having your staff smile and greet customers should be as important as your product you sell. They would get a 5 star rating from me if they improved their customer service

Dyana Fjeld

Knowledgable staff, very helpful! Excellent quality plants & greenery

Rachel Preston

Liana delivers the most exceptional and genuine customer service. I return to Bylands often because of her! What a keeper.

Hawk Mann

Lots of great items for your house and garden.

Austin Cadieux

Massive! lots of variety in tools/pots, books, and plants

OKANAGAN HONEYBEE

Beautiful selection of plants,flowers,trees and garden ornaments.

Shanna Craig

Had an excelent visit today, they have quite a few intresting and unique indoor plants. The two ladies that helped me today we're warm and friendly. Cant wait untill spring :)

Don Blevens

A family owned local gem with onsite greenhouses and locally grown trees. Their seed collection was amazing! We also purchased a great quality wind chime that may have started an addiction to the calming sound. We’ll be back for more for other decks on the house.

Jennifer Greene

Santa likes this place so much he visits by helicopter!

Nancy Blokland

They have a spacious set up that is super well organized and knowledgeable staff

Louise Myers

Great service

Thomas Beckett

Lots of choices

Curtis Pel

This place is great, but it's not cheap! Bring your wallet and prepare to be amazed at the selection of plants and varieties. They also have a large decoration area and even a really good indoor plant selection.

Randi Smith

great selection of flowers, fair prices as well

Rhonda Hunt

Wonderful gift shop! Great service!

John Edwards

Lots of plants...lol, more expensive than some places, but good for the city folk.

Coldsteel Steel

Nice nursery but pricey

Noel Savignano

I went to buy some vegetables seeds and plants. No to much choices but I agree we are late in the season probably that's why. About flowers a lot of choice and you can smell a nice odor from them. Price is just affordable on any item.

Richard W.

Great staff. Super helpful. Lots of stuff in store. Located on the Westside of Kelowna. Great plant selection.

Spongebobs_Nutsac

Yes that one

Samantha F

love this place!!

Venus Lapierre

Awesome place , has everything

Jen Macintosh

Like everyone else they have a great selection. Most of the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful but a few of them can be a tad condescending....hence the 3 stars. Bylands isn't the only nursery in town thankfully.

Peter Johnstone

Nice staff, and reasonable prices what more could you ask for?

Dan Gough

Good selection comes at a price.

Velvet Elvis

I had them deliver flowers to my wife twice this past year while i was away, and my wife said the arrangements were amazing. I’m leaving 5 stars now because after paying more using a different local florist in Kelowna this past week, I now realize that Bylands is so far superior that I had to give them a shout out.

Graeme Bekker

Good selection of tropicals but on the expensive end. Very helpful staff.

AJ Internet Solutions - Julia

I love all the cool trinkets and original merchandise Bylands has. It's always fun to walk through!

J Wielgosz

All the best seasonal displays for your home.

Always love going into this store! My daughter is a houseplant enthusiast and even though we live in Kelowna she wants to take the extra time to drive here.

If I can give them a zero I would! If you are any kind of colour besides the Mexicans the work here you will b given absolutely no respect.

Dylan Wolnowski

Lots of plants and food trees of all times! Also rocks and gravel and dirt! All you need

Shailaja Hariharan

Lovely selection of plants and wonderful customer service

Suzanne Therrien

Simply the best most comprehensive garden nursery. They have an excellent selection of high quality plants and garden tools and accessories. I love this place and could spend all day and my whole paycheck here if I could afford it!

Anne Shirley

I wanted to purchase a rose Bush and requested some help. It took quite awhile to get any. And when I finally did, they were so overpriced! I ended up getting one somewhere else.

Nathan Gill

Beautiful garden centre

Steve Dale

A very professional garden centre. Good selection.

A J Jerry Flaman

Disappointing.

Matt Spittal

Has a nice selection of the standard stuff.

Beautiful inside and out. I always find they could use more knowledgeable sales staff though.

Kyle Murphy

BEST SELECTION IN TOWN , GREAT PRICES AND STAFF SUPER FRIENDLY

Anton North

Great service at the floral center.

Sheri Schickler

Found what I was looking for and needed a few hours to finish shopping all the other awesome garden and home items they have for sale. Coming back really soon!

Jessica Hedrick

What can I say... They're a bit pricey, but the selection is phenomenal. Literally thousands and thousands of variety of plant life at your purchasing whim. I can't leave without something from here!

Charlie Picken

Best place in town to buy soil and plants and garden gear

Damien Prud'homme

Large selection with very friendly and knowledgeable staff

Greg Poirier

Good selection of Spring plants and accessories.

Kathleen Hamel

I like to tour around Bylands Garden Center year round. During the warm months I love to wander through the huge selection of outdoor plants and veggies. So inspiring! The indoor showroom is where they carry unique decorative items for the home, interesting jewelry, purses, scarves and even a few pieces of women's clothing. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable.

Karen

Love wandering the store but closed on Sundays right now.

Hurricane John

Great place lots of cool Christmas decore there

Meg C

Easily ordered flowers for delivery and they looked even more beautiful in real life!

Zachary George

Cheap plant prices Low grade customer service

Zane Koivisto

The girls in the flower shop were fantastic

Noc

As the only garden center that stays open year around in Kelowna, Bylands is definitely among my top locations to visit while looking for fun indoor plants. Great selection of Tropicals; occasionally you can find more rare varieties such as Alocasia Black Velvet or Whale fin Sansevieria.

Emily Phelan

Great indoor plant selection

Janine B

2020 Update: 2nd year ordering, delivered on time. Beautiful bouquet but did not meet special instructions fully, I will order by phone instead on online in future. 2019 Ordered a bouquet long-distance, I was looking for it to fit some specific requirements and they were outstanding at putting something together that met everything I was looking for. The recipients commented that everything looked in such good shape and smelled fantastic. They were also very good at communicating and resolving issues when there was a problem with my payment going through. Wonderful experience with this florist.

Kalee M (CrispyDuck4)

Love shopping here! The staff are always so knowledgeable and friendly, and the products are always reasonably priced. All the plants are well taken care of, and they have a wide verity!! So glad to have Bylands in town ????

Darren Gourlay

Customer Service and Knowledge is fantastic.

S K

Alright selection, alright prices. Nothing to go out of your way for.

lorene stuckless

Very beautiful plants, trees and gifts etc... Too expensive for me!!

Megan L.

No customer service whatsoever. Couldn’t even get anyone to look at me let alone me help out. Walked out without even buying the thing I went in for. It’s funny too cause they have a sign on the way out saying “you’re more then a customer”. Felt like a lot less then a customer. No need to come here ever again. Hope everyone else has a better luck then me getting help from these people

Chris Arndt

Great variety and friendly staff, prices decent, out of the way but worth the drive

Alex Gauthier

Big choice of seeds, pots, decorative plants and succulents. I went last week looking for plants to make my first closed terrarium but realized when I got home that they're weren't quite the species I thought so I came back and the friendly staff helped me pick a better choice, much appreciated ! I would love to see a dedicated section or tags for compatible plants !

Deana Steele

Maria Byland is always there with a smile and her team is super helpful when I need recommendations. I love that they grow most of their products right here in the valley!

Heather Rusk

Lots and lots of variety and a really nice vibe. I bought a couple of air plants for my little hanging terrarium!

Spg Parra

(Translated) Excellent for buying any kind of variety of plants and trees of all kinds (Original) Excelente para comprar cualquier tipo de variedad de plantas y árboles de todo tipo

Brendan

Massive plant selection

Rose Sirois

Knowledgable and friendly staff. Good selection of drought tolerant plants and shrubs (why we went). Bylands is a supporter of the Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

Larry Birtch

A bit pricey but they sure have lots of different items regarding lawn & garden character ornimants. A good place to just go and brows.

John Wood

Very interesting place. Lots of variety

Donna Kerr

Always great prices and very helpful.

Meaghan Macdonald

tried to return plants today and they wouldnt allow it, just bought yesterday and there was nothing wrong with them, they said they just dont do returns on annuals which is bs but would have been fine if they told me when i bought them they were final sale. Only says bring recipt for returns on the receipt

Anon Ymous

I have come here multiple times as I live close by. Every single time (5 times to be exact) not one single person has asked me if I need help or even said hello as I wandered for 30 minutes trying to figure out what greenery to purchase. It’s very frustrating when you don’t know exactly which shrub or plants are best for your property and hoping someone would help since there was roughly 6 workers walking around and it wasn’t overly busy. I even had the owner walk past me roughly 4 times and she didn’t even say hello, ask if I needed help, or anything. I’ve kept going back in hopes it was fluke each time that I was completely ignored as I like to support local. I now drive to kelowna to a different nursery and receive exceptional service each time.

Stanley Chalk

Great visit. Only place in Kelowna to find seeds at this time of year. Prices resonable and found some items that I had been looking for. Will be shopping there again.

Len Landry

It was still early in the season so no plants out. But good sale on statuary and pond supplies. I have been here later in spring and it is fantastic then.

Chantel Mann

Beautiful ????

Thomas Scheffer

Even one star is to much .. Very very very unfriendly staff and absolutely not helpful staff.. Totally overpriced.. Very little selection

Pamela Leco

Large selection of trees, shrubs, roses and perennials. Minimal annual choices. Gift shop is always fun even if a bit $$.

Chris Sailer

Lovely plants and gifts. Very nice. My plants from there always do so well.

Joerg Kamp

Lots of plants and trees, but quite pricey

gaylene ridley

I went today and found all the staff very helpful and friendly. Norm was outstanding in his help getting the plants and putting in the car

Donna Wackerbauer

Very expensive. Cashier had issues ringing up items due to no price tags. A gentleman left because there was only one till open, a second cashier should have been called as I had a large amount.

Darcy Harder

There will be a new Houston Pizza Restaurant opening soon.....watch for it..

Nick Le (Nicko)

Nice garden center, lots of selection. Good prices, especially if you get the member card.

Andy Warren

Always a pleasure to browse around at Bylands.

Laura Baker

great service and selection and fair prices

Lisa Natalie

Now for starters, I would like to say I have shopped at this store for my indoor plant collection for many years and loved it. The selection was almost always good, sometimes even amazing! Their prices are a bit higher, but you can normaly find 2 or 3 good ones (sometimes a trunk full lol) so worth the trip for me to visit from princeton! Long time no problem! How ever, after searching for a rare Silver Dragon Alocasia for quite some time I finally tracked one down at bylands, I had attempted to send 3 friends from princeton to pick up this plant for me but they sold out fast! Then I drove out, got the plant!!!! WooooHoooooo!!!! picked one with 3 unraveling leafs, for excitement to watch it grow. but unfortunately as it unwraveld there was some small holes to me was obvious pest damage. I messaged them, they were responsive but unfortunately we could not come to an agreement on this expensive 100 plant they had sold me with holes in the leafs. I wanted a replacement and that was not possible :( they did offer me my money back but because this was soooo high on my wish list I did not want to part with it. bottom line is it was just really unfortunate on my end, so I will recommend if you are a collector and sometimes spend big money on plants to money try someone who can garurentee their plants! ❤

Susan Slattery

BEAUTIFUL

Christopher Gordon

Went there yesterday. Grouchy, unhelpful staff. Ridiculous prices. The whole place seems pretentious. Sorry, I just can't support this company.

Helpful staff .. lots of gift ideas .. and lots of tropical plants..

Ms. D

We were there last Sunday and this Employee with White short hair (maybe around 50's?) Every time we would go to byland she's rude to us. I think she doesn't like any Asian people going to the store. :( BTW, we looked asians but we are Canadian.. I hope the owner is aware about how she's treating other customers, so it wont scare other customers.I hope she get customer service training. Thanks!

April 13th. Interacted with 3 of the team working outside very knowledgeable found healthy plants. During check out, even with a delay due to items not being in the system the staff members buddies up and helped out, even a lady who was going on break. How could it get any better ? As I was about to load your beautiful Florida dogwood the forklift operator stopped and assisted me loading and what a gentleman he was ! What I friggen awesome experience. Cheers Kev

Lindsey Crosby

First time here just the other day and I cant believe we haven't made the trip out before! It is such an amazing store! And the staff is so knowledgeable. We asked so many questions (probably way too many...) and walked out with everything we needed. Were surprised at selection of organic seeds at a very good price ????

Teresa wood

No product

Heather Palberg

Awesome experience! Thanks to Helen for her time and expertise. New plants all home safe and sound!

Love Bylands! Knowledgeable, great selection, excellent quality. My favorite place to shop all year long. A gem in West Kelowna.

rose shawlee

I ordered flowers for my mother’s birthday. I live out of town and went out of my way to find a local shop to support. The flowers weren’t delivered (although my credit card was charged). Extremely disappointing. If you’re looking for reliable, this experience rules out Bylands.

Diane Gane

Had a great variety of healthy plants and had it well set up for social distancing.

Char Lee

I really love this garden centre. Its huge with a large variety of all your gardening needs. I always enjoy visiting this garden centre. ..pleasant atmosphere

Veronica Ludwig

Excellent selection of roses

Arnold Rawle

Excellent plant selection. I’ve always found the service friendly and knowledgeable. Maxine the resident plant doctor is a great and helpful resource when your garden comes under the inevitable attack from nasty pests.

Sergej Spirjakin

I like that place with nice decor ideas. Very clean and organized. But a bit overpriced. That's why trying to buy somewhere else first.

David Clutterbuck

Staff is friendly and very helpful

jim mortensen

Get a 10 inch pot rose of sharing. 38 buck not bad helpful staff and smooth transaction

Eddy Broscheit

Never again to order flowers from bylands , staff not competent enough to call back I guess after visa did not ring through , ordered flower delivery 4 days in advance of mothers day, call wife the night of no delivery ,thanks fir nothing bylands

Greg Gendron

Great selection

Randy

This is my first spring living in the Okanagan after moving from the coast. A yard of top soil cost $80 which is more than double what I'm used to. I've since found at least two other places in the Kelowna area that sell a yard for $45 or less. I won't be buying anything else there considering the ridiculous prices of something as basic as bulk soil.

Patricia Britnell

Beautiful Christmas displays and average to high prices. Something for everyone.

Hermann Zorn

Wife found everything she was looking for.
