Reviews of The Enjoy Centre (Gardener)

Belinda Ho

Very disappointed that they haven't updated the operating hours on Google. I double-checked the hours before coming at 6pm on Monday when it was posted that they would close at 8. The cashier lady informed us that they were closed in a very unfriendly manner. What a waste of a trip. The decals on the doors to the place also had the wrong hours.

Disappointing experience in the Glasshouse Bistro on a Tuesday morning. Cafe tables were dirty and when I ordered my latte the service was surly. The cookie was serve-your- own from the tray but no napkins were provided by the cookie tray. I wiped the bits of lettuce and bread off the table so I did not have to put my food on a dirty table and walked to another part of cafe to get a napkin. Overall unclean and unfriendly and overpriced for lack of service.

Went for a work meal, brought me regular bun. Meal was already 45 minutes. Returned food to get bob gluten bun, only got burger back no toppings. Sauce had whet flour in it, I ended up in devastating pain from heart burn.

Michael Wilson

Great events venue. Has a variety of great shops inside as well. Get your grocery, home and gift shopping done in one go! There's even a liquor store on the bottom floor.

Taryn B

Beautiful facilities, great assortment of garden and potting materials. The staff knowledge is great. They'll get the answers to your questions. Tools, pots, lights, soil, seed to saplings it's all there. Prices tend to run to the high side, however the products they sell tend to be at the higher end of the market. So be warned. With that being said, their selection of cheaper plastic pots is limited. I have purchased fruit and flowering trees, flowers, tomatoes plants, and a variety of indoor plants, and never had anything die. There plant products live and are insect free.

Had brunch at the Glass House Bistro. Menu selections were more limited than the last time I visited. Eggs Benedict were good but not hot. I always like the bright ambience

Helena B

It is a very beautiful place to visit anytime but I spent quite a bit of time looking through orchids. They have a lovely cafe, ( I didn't visit because I don't know if they offer vegan food) and some lovely stores. It is quite pricey so I'm always cautious of my spending.

Scott Rutherford

Always find what I am looking for...

Crunch Foe

Would name it the no enjoy center. We were treated kind of rudely and people better dressed than we were received much different service. Went to a competitor and received fantastic help.

Justin Campbell

Went to Orchid Fare. Opening time changed so had time to look around. Beautiful orchids at the show. Room is bright and sunny. Displays gorgeous and so many for sale.

Bromley Barron

Couldn’t find a child friendly cart through out the entire building. The lady at the till at the front kept giving us the run around of where to look for one while not actually offering to assist us. Not a great customer service experience. Although their was a a helpful staff member once we were able to start shopping.

Kyla

Good selection but prices are a bit ridiculous on certain items. Staffs can be uptight as well. Nice looking facility though.

Chris Kay

Beautiful bright and open, great place to just walk around

Andrew Walker (Eh_Wok)

Great spot with everything you could possibly think of, café, restaurant, gourmet meat and cheese market, flower market, massive greenhouses. AMAZINGLY gorgeous event rooms for weddings and such. Gourmet oil, salt and seasoning shop, ugh, a foodies and greenthumbs wet dream right here!

Cassandra Barlington

Great place for indoor and outdoor plants.Staff are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We stopped for a coffee and Saskatoon muffin in the bistro Cafe. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely morning!

Ashley Johnson

This is a really cool place to take you mom or grandma or a date. The grocery store downstairs has lots of unique options and upstairs is obviously a greenhouse. Besides being a little pricey this is an great place to spend an afternoon.

Pavlo Drozd

What used to be a 5 star experience and a safe space for me changed yesterday. I have a medical condition that doesn’t allow me to wear a mask. Which used to be A Ok & now apparently is not... what has changed? Aren’t most “protected” at …

Gillian Minsos

This is for next spring: Hole's (when the Enjoy Centre was owned by the Hole family) used to have stunning displays of petunias. Very bright colours, lots of selection, maturing plants still in the plastic trays. This year, the selection …

Ken Lewicki - Channeling

I love the energy and staff in this place. Super friendly and so much to see. Love it's modern decor and healthy eating options ????????????

Sofia Lavrinenko

There's constantly something interesting going on at the Enjoy Centre, it's the perfect place to go to spend an afternoon. A little on the pricey side, a tea and baked good is at least $6, but the quality is 100 times better than Tim Hortons!

Alireza Jalaeian

I have been going to the Enjoy Centre since they first opened and it is definitely one of my favourite places to shop! I purchased all of my tomato plants from Enjoy this past spring and have had the best tasting crop ever! I find their …

Kunal Soni

A market you can visit year round

MinJi Kang

Our family had a GREAT and magical night there - strolling, laughing, and playing, under the twinkle of a million Christmas Lights! And our children really enjoyed the interactive playgrounds and train ride there, which is not just for kids, but also for all ages... Definitely recommendable and worth to visit!!!

Sam Schmidt

I stopped in today and got a sandwich upstairs, my $9.50 Italian sandwich had exactly 3 of the thinnest slices of meat I have ever received. I was thoroughly disappointed to have spent that much money on facasia with balsamic aioli and greens

Hamilton

I want to like this place as I have fond memories of holes greenhouse but it is far from that. The layout is confusing, tons of wasted space and most things are over priced. Parking is terrible. I wouldn't go there for plants, there are plenty of real greenhouses around Edmonton. It's easy to see why this place has not succeeded, I think Louise would be disappointed.

Cassandra Tomas

Great selection for Organic produce. Bakery has large selection and tastes amazing too!

Tash and Fash

Perfect wedding venue if you have over 300 guests. Staff are very responsive and provided a great tour of the venue. The events that the Enjoy Centre puts out are also fun and great for families. Great quality plants too.

Martian Dan

Lovely place

Aly Angus

So, I probably come here every few weeks, especially in the winter. This place is a like a little spa experience. There are a ton of things to look at since the centre contains a greehouse/gardening centre, Glasshouse cafe and bistro, olive oil/balsamic vinegar store, soap store, kitchen store, spa and yoga retreat, wine store, health and wellness store, organic grocer and deli all with a focus on local. My favourite is to trek out here with a friend when you're sick of the cold, dry Alberta winter and wander through the gardening centre to get some sunny, warm, greenery. After a little wandering, grab a table to catch up. If you're on a budget go for the cafe - they serve local Iconoclast coffee - to grab a bite. For a splurge, the bistro is worth it.

Austin

good to with GF

Lacey Lynn

This is an amazing facility. It’s got it all. From groceries to gifts to plants to a restaurant and coffee shop and a bakery and other services. The store is well lit and clean. The washroom facilities are clean also. Lots of parking spaces available.

Don Dona

A Nice place to spend the afternoon with my other half. The Evo oil store is awesome and great gardening stuff throughout.

Emma Wolfe

Friendly and helpful staff, as is still winter the other main stream stores don't have the stock and Hole's does. A bit more expensive but if you're in a pinch worth while.

Kamal Kanafani

I use to enjoy going here to plant shop i am a regular plant shopper I have a large collection of around 300-400 plants. However I refuse to support this buisness at all now since they have made the mask mandantory towards Medically exempt ppl. The last time I was in there I was stopped by 2 staff members at the door at was told I could not come in I was asked and I Quote one of them saying how can that be that your exempt? I told the they were legally not allowed to ask me my medical history. So I left and went spent it in other Green houses.

J J

The plants are pricy, not a lot of variety unless you are looking for seeds. Looks like a good spot for coffee though.

Ferdinand Aguillon

I’ve always loved this greenhouse! It’s bright, clean, they have cute decorative decor for your home/outside, the staff are always super friendly and knowledgeable. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience buying my house plants from here. Looking forward to visiting through out the summer again.

Naveen Saggi

Hopeless, they claim that they can accommodate big events at their place but I think feeding a big group would be big problem for them, I can say by my today's experience, they couldn't feed 200 people at lunch. Please don't go there to spoil your precious time and money. A big no for ever.

Agnes Tang

Cute garden! I really liked this place.

Greg Corbett

Excellent customer service, especially in Commercial Services. Jennifer was especially helpful and we found her assistance reasonable and extremely professional. Our planters are stunning and seem to invoke conversation from every single person who pass them. Great job, everyone!

Shola Falemi

Beautiful Location, but the worst venue to work with. Do not believe the reviews in Blush Magazine for this wedding venue. That review was based on previous ownership and management that no longer exists at Holes' Enjoy Center. My wedding was nearly a disaster thanks in large part to the Managers and new Owners of the Enjoy Center. From the day we signed our contract in July of 2016, to three days before our wedding day, we dealt with 7 separate event coordinators, each of whom was either fired or forced to quit due to disagreements with the executive management at the facility. Despite having been given vocal confirmation of inclusion of things like Fans, podiums, staging etc, we discovered these things had allegedly been promised to us falsely, and should never have been offered without executive permissions. In addition to that, we were told if we still needed these items, then we would be required to make an additional payment of 80% on top of our contractual fee. In fact, the Executive Manager/Head Chef threatened to cancel my wedding unless my family payed this fee. Imagine hearing this 3 days before you're to walk down the aisle. During the wedding itself, the staff were excessively rude to our guests, refused to provide water glasses during the reception, attempted to steal leftover cupcakes, and mysteriously lost bottles of liquor that had been purchased specifically for our friends and family. DO NOT BOOK YOUR WEDDING WITH THIS COMPANY. They will make what is supposed to be the happiest days of your life, into one of the worst. If it hadn't been for my family and friends supporting us through this whole process, we never would've gotten through it.

Fé Reillo

Love visiting this place just looking around at their variety of healthy plants.

Jill Lee-Henningham

I love my visits to The Enjoy Centre and Holes. They have an amazing selection of plants and items for your home. Great parking and very friendly people.

Amber Mk

Beautiful place to visit- a very polished nature sort of feel. Although beautiful everything there is far too over priced! It takes the 'enjoy'ment out of it for me. I most likely will not return.

Charlene Weatherbee

Much too long for meal to arrive. It was plain that my meal had been sitting for too long,waiting for the others to be ready. Sourdough toast should not break when you try to cut it. Hollandaise sauce was almost non existent and not very rich or flavorful. Almost as though it had been thinned down.I was curious , now I know and will not return.

Duo d'Amore

Our violin and cello duo, trio and string quartet has been hired to perform for several wedding ceremonies at the Enjoy Centre, most recently in August 2014. The venue is quite popular and suited to a wide variety of activities, including weddings and receptions.

Dmitry Baranov

St Albert Haven! Fresh and peaceful place! Staff are so friendly and helpful, my first visit and blown my mind ????

Dean Savage

Amazing concept and built for growth but just not the same as the Hole's from its days on Bellerose Drive. Limited selection on indoor and outdoor plants. Maybe too much commercial space for other vendors. Good for a browse but not enough plants for these green thumbs!

C Yi

Amazing serene atmosphere. Definitively a place to come to in Edmonton if you like healthy fresh food and plants! The cream corn chowder was HEAVEN!

Matt Siemens

Went in to pick up some treats from Wild Life Bakery (no complaints with them, they are fantastic). The issue is, if you're going to have cashiers at the entry way, the least they could do is great you and say "have a good day" on your way …

Tracy Boucher

My wife and I got married July 2019. We had our ceremony and reception at the Enjoy Centre/ Glass House Bistro. The event staff, chef and flower department are all great people. They all worked above and beyond to make our day special and run smoothly! Took away a lot of stress that is typically associated with such big event! Unique space and all of our guests were in awe of the surroundings!

Elizabeth Anderson

I love the Bistro and the greenhouse. I love some of the available specialty items in the different shops. The shops feel under staffed though, wait time at the deli/butcher shop was a little ridiculous, however, we do like the meat there.

Sean C

A vegan I work with told me about this place, didn’t even know a place like this existed in Edmonton and area. Expensive but worth it, really nice building, beautiful surrounding area, apparently some people have weddings here it’s that nice . Never very busy either

Cathy Kendus

Went to Hillabys to order some dishes. Always enjoy poking around all the fun gadgets and the friendly service. Also bought a couple of small plants from Holes. I think all the oxygen from the plants affects my state of mind. It always feels peaceful.

John K

I love going here because the plants are so well cared for. I do however find the staff to be a little full of themselves and feel that they have a tendency to speak down to me. Maybe they actually don't, and I just …

G. L.

Staff were friendly when you tracked them down for help. Not the most informed about their products, but when my wife returned the following day, the man we'd spoken to on the first visit, had actually gone home and researched the answers …

Amy B

A great place for plant lovers! A huge collection of all kinds of seeds and planting soil. You can also buy beautiful pots and decorating items for your garden!

Steph Roberge

Just as a heads up :All of the departments are apparently now separate from each other and you have to pay for the things at that register in that department. We had to put half of our basket back because the frozen meat section wasn't part of the packaged foods section.Wouldnt have been a problem except we couldn't find a cashier in that section

Wellness

This is such an amazing facility! Everything under 1 roof and with a focus on sustainability and personal health. So much to look at and do and always a great place to meet for a coffee, a meal, or to get an awesome Massage!

Au Lim

We were there on May 8, and while the selection was good, there wasn't as much in either houseplants, annuals, perennials or garden plants as I had expected for a greenhouse this big. I know they changed owners recently tho, and I've been …

Kristen The Guy

Great building, lots of products to look at. friendly staff. There is a light show happening now. Great place to take the family for a Christmas outing.

Kay Mahara

I love this location, especially as a venue for events. The food menu is pretty sad, lots of big words for simple almost concession type food. The shops have great items and usually decent service. The grocery store is somewhat questionable-selection is odd and prices reflect cost of renting the space-but a nice place to pick up a few unique items. My favourite part is always the garden centre although you do need a reasonable budget to get some good plants/supplies-overall it's a great experience!

Bryan Darling

Great space with lots of light, a relaxed atmosphere, and high quality products. With the spa, the greenhouse, the soap store, the kitchen store, the cafe and restaurant, the grocery store and deli... You can easily sirens a whole day here.

Jenn Rain

Painted succulents can't photsynthesize light. The Enjoy Centre is a glorified florist shop that sells plants doomed to die slow, designer-friendly deaths.

Andrew

It's another hipsterish type location tied to a garden center feel. Over priced artisanal foods and others goods. Was there for the indie hand crafts sale and that was alright expected prices for hand made items.

Gordon Hall

I came here for a wedding two years ago, the place is welcoming, cozy and has great lighting. From what I remember from the night was how spacious it was and how many people were there.

Ariel Couture

Amazing place to visit and enjoy your time ????

Karen M

Lovely area for coffee and lunch. Beautiful flowers and vegetables to plant for your garden.

Katie Jmayoff

I recently moved to Fort Saskatchewan and knew I would be frequenting the Enjoy Centre. Their grocery store helped me in every way they could. They didn't have the one product I wanted, so they ordered it in, and said it would be a regular shelf item from then on. Great Service. Thank you for all your help

Darlene Niehaus

We had Sunday brunch at the cafe today. Expensive, cold food, Eggs Benedict very vinegar flavour, French toast had lemon butter in middle and not soft at all. If you decide to tip it is just for food coming to your table. The waiter does not return to table at all.

Linda Olson

Great meal at the Bistro: excellent clam chowder, interesting beet salad and scrumptious pork sandwich.

Michelle Dentinger

I used to love this place, there have been massive changes, and not for the better. The food used to be really good now we can't seem to get any. I always bought the glass House blend tea so good! Apparently they're not doing that anymore either. Do they know what they're doing? And lots of fake flowers fake plant displays that are really tacky so not Lois Hole. It seems as though this place is closing down. So much for shopping and having a nice lunch here. Sad. Stay downstairs to avoid major dissapointment.

Cindy Toma

It is a very beautiful place to visit anytime but I spent quite a bit of time looking through orchids. They have a lovely cafe, ( I didn't visit because I don't know if they offer vegan food) and some lovely stores. It is quite pricey so I'm always cautious of my spending.

Katie Marner

Best place for seed , I bought gift card on December, saved me a lot

Kristiana Sinding

Plant lovers heaven and much much more!! This place has it all, from an evoolution, deli, bakery, a spa, a clothing store, a bistro and restaurant, a health foods grocery store, vitamins and supplements store, florist service, massive greenhouse space filled with everything from potted flowers, succulents, cacti, fruits and veggies, seeds galore, and every possible gardening tool, resource, or decoration imaginable. I’ve been to many events in the beautiful moonflower room, from the amplify youth arts and music festival, to weddings, to the mayors art and culture awards, to the indie handmade show. Gorgeous hall with beautiful glass greenhouse ceilings to let in natural light and view the stars. staff, service, goods, and experience have all been top notch on all of my trips to the enjoy centre.

Alex Macdonald

This is a huge place. Lots to choose from but can be overwhelming at times. I have seen a nice orchids show. It's a well organized assembly of many displays. Great opportunity to look at, smell, admire, relax, and appreciate. You can also talk to experts and learn a lot.

張冠堡

Had my wedding here in the summer and this is the best and most unique place in Edmonton! All the photos turned out absolutely amazing with the perfect amount of lighting! All my guests were amazed by the venue! The staff were great at helping us with the ideas for decorations and were very sincere. They allowed us to bring in our own food catering (Punjab Parantha Hut) who did an amazing job with the food! Everyone loved it!

Lance Lang

Pretty amazing place very clean and bright, no staff to assist in gardening related questions though.

Gabriel Migneault

Amazing place, always something new. Great any season, the staff is always amazing and helpful - especially on garden side of things everyone is very knowledgeable. Love this place every single part is amazing inside.

Linda Smith

Visited today with 4 other good friends, nice selection but very pricey. Stopped for lunch at the bistro and the staff were very unfriendly. Maybe they don't "enjoy" their jobs which in turn gave us all a less than "enjoyable" experience. Would not recommend to others.

mouli tasnuva

This was my first visit and I really enjoyed the atmosphere with all the plants around. They carry a lot of great items, such as tools and of course potting utensils, all of great quality. There is a nice little bakery and supplement shop. …

Justin Williams

I’ve been to the Enjoy Centre of a number of different reasons. Glow Edmonton, the Edmonton Craft fair, a work Christmas party. Overall the venue is very well kept and beautiful. They have an amazing assortment of plants and gardening supplies, and the store in the basement is packed with all sorts of quality products. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and parking is never an issue.

Carol MacDonald

The name says it all. Nice grocery store and liquor store in there. Great spot to buy quality plants all year long. The restaurant is good but service is a little long. Nice place to go hang around in the winter.

Javier Barreto

My husband and I had the pleasure of having our wedding ceremony and reception at the Enjoy Centre this July. The ceremony was in the Park Room and the reception was in the Glasshouse Bistro. …

Gladys Olsen

I expected more from a place like this one! However, the service at the Bistro was excellent! Heather was the most gracious waitress I have ever had! The food?...okay!
