Reviews of Bio Horticentre Méristème (Gardener)

Geert's Land & Waterscapes

A great place to find high quality, hard to find and well labelled plants! Jean-Pierre and his knowledgeably team operate a well run garden centre! Easy access just outside the centre of Aylmer.

Annette Leahy-Kearney

We went here to find a specific plant, we found a very knowledgeable woman you took us around the various flats and talked to us about all the plants. She went above and beyond in her explanations and was extremely helpful. Its still early spring so there was not as many plants as usual. We will be back in early May to see the new selections. Always a pleasure!

Cain Canning

So helpful and nice! Crazy selection of perennials and I got a great sale price on edibles. Lots of plants I've never seen before. Mostly outdoor

(Translated) good product (Original) bon produit

Jean-Philippe Harnois

(Translated) Lots to say, but I'll stick to the basics. Second, the owner offers no quality of service! In addition, I am trying to get an exchange for a very small tree that is not growing and that I paid barely $ 200. Impossible, despite the purchase of various organic fertilizers recommended by the owner. Awful after-sales service. No matter the cost, when you sell a guarantee and so-called quality and the prices are higher than the competition because of this, we do everything to honor this commitment. Do not go shopping there to encourage a business that does not respect its customers! (Original) Beaucoup à dire, mais je vais m'en tenir à l'essentiel. Je seconde, le propriétaire n'offre aucune qualité de service! De plus, j'essaie d'obtenir un échange pour un tout petit arbre qui ne se développe pas et que j'ai payé à peine 200$. Impossible, malgré l'achat d'engrais biologiques divers recommandés par le propriétaire. Service après-vente exécrable. Peu importe le coût, quand on vend une garantie et une prétendue qualité et que les prix sont plus élevés que la compétition à cause de cela, on fait tout pour honorer cet engagement. N'allez pas magasiner là vous encourager une entreprise qui ne respecte pas sa clientèle!

Stephanie Kanaan

I second all the reviews about the owner. He is a racist, disrespectful crook. He was aggressive towards an elderly lady and her daughter. They were simply looking to make a new purchase using a credit they were owed. He refused to sell them the plants they were looking for. It gets worse, he owes them money and refused to give them the balance. He was aggressive and snatched a plant out of the older lady's hands before kicking them out and calling them names. Je comprends que la pandémie est stressante pour tous mais il y a des limites. Je vous invite donc à la solidarité et à aller magasiner ailleurs.

Leanne Lengagne

I always feel as if I am intruding on some kind of exclusive club when I shop here. The plants are of good quality but the service can be awkward.

Edward Azzi

Nice place to visit

Christine Leclerc

Horrible! Very rude service.

Carlos A. Rodas Cordova

(Translated) Knowing people and very good service, but prices above average. (Original) Des gens connaissant et très bon service, mais prix au dessus de la moyenne.

Thomas D

(Translated) Earth has organic garden filled with plastic and even a nut! Two stars because they accepted the return but not very conveniently. (Original) Terre a jardin bio remplie de plastique et même un écrou! Deux étoiles car ils on accepté le retour mais pas de façon très commode.

v lewis

Most of the plants I bought from there died despite being planted properly. Their plants are much more expensive than average nurseries. I wasted a lot of money.

Margaret Wickett

Excellent service. Beautiful fountains. Extensive choice ????????????

simon lalande

Don't walk, run away from that place. The service and the staff are extremely rude and I witnessed the owner cursing at customers and discriminating against them. Very unprofessional and in 2021 it is extremely sad to see business owners treat their customers with such disrespect.

Alexandre Généreux

(Translated) Very good advice for development and very satisfied with the development plan carried out. (Original) Très bon conseil pour les aménagement et très satisfait du plan d'aménagement réalisé.

super center!!!!!

mariam azziz

My experience was HORRIBLE, the owner was extremely RUDE to us the entire time. He was a condescending, arrogant, and overall RACIST. Never once in my life have I been treated so poorly. The owner should be held accountable for his horrible actions towards his customers. We must stand in solidarity and not let his actions go unnoticed!! I would never go back to this place unless I wanted to feel like complete dirt. I wouldn't even get him the 1 star to be honest.

Monika Wojtek Stach

Very knowledge staff and fully bilingual - definitely helps when your French is not too great.

Suzie Mai

ZERO STARS. Horrible service and staff is not friendly specially the owner. Very unfortunate because we need more garden centers like this one but with professional, competent caring people. Stand in solidarity and do not go shopping there to encourage a business that does not respect diversity and promotes discrimination.

Rabinzel Hanna

(Translated) THE best in the Outaouais! Not only is there a wide variety of plants and horticultural products, but the team is very warm! In addition, the owner knows his products very well and has been able to adapt to my needs. (Original) LE meilleur en Outaouais! Non seulement il y a une grande variété de végétaux et des produits d’horticulture, mais l'équipe est très chaleureuse! De plus, le propriétaire connait très bien ses produits et a su s'adapter à mes besoins.

Jean-Philippe Daoust

(Translated) The owner Jean-Pierre is arrogant and contemptuous with his customers. He even offers reimbursements to those who are not happy with his attitude. I understand that the pandemic is stressful for everyone, but there are limits. So I invite you to solidarity and go shopping elsewhere. (Original) Le propriétaire Jean-Pierre est arrogant et méprisant avec ses clients. Il offre même des remboursements à ceux et celles qui ne sont pas content de son attitude. Je comprends que la pandémie est stressante pour tous mais il y a des limites. Je vous invite donc à la solidarité et à aller magasiner ailleurs.

Johnny Bojorquez

Awesome place. Well organized, friendly staff, nice stock.. happy to shop there.

Jessica Kanaan

Horrible service, racist owner, and verbally abusive. I will never support that business! Please stand in solidarity with me! My friend and I visited to purchase looking a tree and it took a verrrrry long time to find someone to answer my questions. After searching for an associate to assist us, the tree they finally recommended ended up being dry with no leaves. Horrible business NEVER AGAIN!!!! I can relate to the previous comments about the poor quality and the horrible service.

Martin Gagnon

(Translated) I bought a tree there for my land. Exceptional quality and huge choice. the service is incomparable in front of a large nursery. Go cheer them on! (Original) J'y ai fait l'achat d'un arbre pour mon terrain. Qualité exceptionnelle et énorme choix. le service est incomparable face à une grande pépinière. Allez les encourager!

Cyril MARTIN

(Translated) Very large choice and well arranged (Original) Très grand choix et bien agencé

Sid Samaha

A nice horticulture centre, various plants trees

D. C.

(Translated) Yes, the prices are slightly higher than elsewhere, but their products are entirely organic and are of high quality. The tomato plants I bought at Méristème produce a large amount of tasty fruit. I will go back there. (Original) Oui, les prix sont légèrement plus élevés qu'ailleurs, mais leur produits sont entièrement bio et sont de grande qualité. Les plants de tomates que j'ai achetés chez Méristème produisent une grande quantité de fruits savoureux. Je vais y retourner.

Thanks to Jean-Pierre and the whole team. (Original) Excellent service, employés très gentils et professionnels. Les horticulteurs m'ont beaucoup aidé et donnent de très bons conseils. Les végétaux sont beaux et en santé. Merci à Jean-Pierre et toute l'équipe.

(Translated) Very very bad buying experience. The owner is horribly racist and rude to customers and employees. I chose a product with the help of an employee who was friendly and courteous. When the owner arrived, he started insulting the employee in front of the customers because he started a new batch of the product as the leftovers from the opened batch were unusable (waste). The owner wanted the employee to dispose of the rotten product first. When I stood up for the poor employee, he insulted me disrespectfully with swear words and ordered me to leave the premises. I find his behavior inappropriate or even arrogant and inappropriate. He is simply racist towards non-white people. He does not accept them in his business. So why are we going to his place. Denouncing it is a duty to unmask the rotten apples in our tolerant Quebec society. To encourage this trade is quite simply to endorse medieval behavior of racism and free intolerance. He deserves ZERO stars. I certainly do not recommend you set foot there. (Original) Très très mauvaise expérience d'achat. Le propriétaire est horriblement raciste et rude avec les clients et les employés. J'ai choisi un produit avec l'aide d'un employé qui était sympathique et courtois. Lorsque le propriétaire est arrivé, il a commencé à insulter l'employé devant les clients car il a entamé un nouveau lot du produit vu que les restants du lot ouvert étaient non utilisables (des déchets). Le propriétaire voulait que l'employé écoule le produit pourri en premier. Lorsque j'ai pris la défense du pauvre employé, il m'a insulté sans respect avec des gros mots et m'a sommé de quitter les lieux. Je trouve son comportement inapproprié voir même arrogant et déplacé. Il est tout simplement raciste envers les non blancs de souche. Il ne les accepte pas dans son commerce. Alors pourquoi irons-nous chez lui. Le dénoncer c'est un devoir pour démasquer les pommes pourris dans notre société québécoise tolérante. Encourager ce commerce c'est tout simplement endosser des comportements moyenâgeux de racismes et d'intolérance gratuits. Il mérite un ZÉRO étoiles. Je ne vous recommandé surtout pas d'y mettre les pieds à cet endroit.

Fernand Proulx

Fast friendly service

Mario Raby

The owner is a crook, I just purchased 1 yard of mulch for $68.00 and only received .7 yard. His Kubota only has a .35 yard bucket and he gives you 2 buckets. My trailer is made for 2 yards of material and look what I got for what he calls 1 yard. What a crook, less than a star is what I give any crook.

Johanne Labelle

(Translated) We are very lucky to have an organic horticenter in the Outaouais with very knowledgeable, courteous and professional employees. A fine choice of certified organic vegetables and medicinal and artomatic plants. (Original) Nous avons beaucoup de chance d'avoir un horticentre bio dans l'Outaouais avec des employés très connaissants, courtois et professionnels. Un beau choix de légumes et plantes médicinales et artomatiques certifiés biologiques.
