Reviews of Vermeer's Garden Centre & Flower Shop (Gardener)

John & Ingrid Sikkens

Beautiful store, lots of selection of plants and great gift ideas too!

Marianne Bradbury

Ordered sympathy flowers for overseas. It was a bit last minute, and the staff said they would do what they could to get it on time. It was...and the arrangement was GORGEOUS! My go-to place from now on!

Ann Helmer

Exquisitely decked out for Christmas.

Linda Pogor

Lovely local garden centre. Nice to keep business local.

Justin Reichelt

Barb was amazing with helping us choose our flower arrangements for our wedding. Her knowledge and suggestions made it an enjoyable experience. Hats off the the team at Vermeers!!!

Probably the most complete & well stocked gardening center in the peninsular!!

Megan Schiedel

I hired Vermeer's as the florist for my June wedding at Kurtz Orchards in NOTL. The flower arrangements were beautiful; however, we were grossly misquoted on what we would get for our money. I was terribly disappointed showing up to my own wedding to see how little flowers were actually lining the tables after all the discussions we had had over the matter. What was most disappointing was that my budget was originally $1,500 and the Representative told me I didn't need to spend that much for my peony bouquets and centrepieces, and that $1000 all in would cover everything we discussed seeing how the flower would be in season. The wedding rolled around we had small and scarce centrepieces throughout; it was quite embarrassing. When we inquired within post-nuptials, the same Rep. advised us that we didn't provide a big enough budget of $1000 to execute what had been discussed in advance. What was sad about this was that we didn't do a bouquet toss so I had called months in advance to check-in and advise that I didn't need a throwaway bouquet. The Rep advised me that the throwaway bouquet was Vermeers' gift to the Bride on her Big Day. This Bride would have rather you used those "gifted" flowers on her centrepieces. Other disappointing notes: Bouquets and boutonnieres were delivered to our hotel in Niagara Falls. The Groom and his Best Man were in the elevator, not yet dressed up, while they bumped into one of the Vermeer's Rep. and the Best Man made a joke about how that delivery was probably theirs. The Rep overheard, handed over the box and walked away. Without confirming the name, phone number or anything else. We provide boutonnieres holders (with extras, of course) and the Father-of-the-Groom's boutonniere was handed off cracked in half and could not be used. Luckily one of our guests had pins and came to the rescue. It was discussed that I would have peach-coloured Juliet Garden Roses in my bouquet and in the centrepieces; apparently, they couldn't get their hands on any peach-coloured Juliet Garden Roses and just replaced them with regular Roses in a Peach colour (not the same thing). This I I learned the day before our wedding at about 3 in the afternoon. There was nothing to be done about it at that point. In addition to finding out I didn't get the peach flowers I wanted, I was also advised the day before the wedding that there were no vases provided for mine and my bridesmaids' bouquets for the head table. Let me preface that this was also in the original quote from the Rep. This was more money I had to shell out. I would not recommend Vermeer's to execute a wedding. I'm not confidant in their services for an event of this magnitude.

BUYER BEWARE-I asked about returning a pot of mums where one section died off, they said they don't do returns. Unfortunately, if a company does not stand behind their products I'm not interested in supporting them. I will not be back

Willow

I've been going to vermeers for over 10 years now. My kids even love going to pick out a new plant and asking the staff how to care for it. Any plant I've wanted they had or offered to get it on for me. More than once I've had to ask for advice on what plant to put in a specific spot and they have found the perfect plant (most of which are still alive!). It's never a wasted trip here, just the atmosphere is so peaceful

Shawn Watson

Love this place! Wonderful selection of tropicals, beautifully kept and visually appealing. Staff is friendly and really enjoy going there even for a breath of tropical flavor. New large greenhouse opening with nice selection of tropicals and some furniture and decor for spring.

Love this place. Especially at christmas. They go all out in decorating. So many selections of plants, pots, decorations and more. We took a class there which was a reasonable price. It was creating a container of succulent plants with ornaments and coloured pebbles to take home. With instructions on how to take care of them. Thanks.

Erin Jacobs

I'm so pleased and impressed by the bouquet that Vermeer's sent my mom. I'm always so nervous selecting flower arrangements online as you're never sure if that's what the recipient will receive. Well not the case here. Vermeer's knocked it out of the park with this beautiful bouquet. Thank you for putting a smile on both of our faces. Thanks

Heather Lambert

I love going to Vermeer's. Lots of beautiful flowers and decor items. You are free to browse, but if you need staff, they are all knowledgeable and friendly. The changes that have been made to address the COVID-19 concerns are well organized. There was a small line the two times I was there in the past few weeks. There are staff sanitizing carts and controlling the number of people entering at one time. Great place to visit in summer and also at Christmas for specialty items.

Amelia Subhan

Very helpful staff, beautiful plants

Colleen Orticello

Great variety and decent prices

Nick Dawson

Great people, great products

COVID19 protocols followed, staff friendly and helpful

j glen

This place used to have unique things - now this is not the case. Apparently they have become part of a buying co-op so they get the inventory that the co-op purchases.

Dar Coles

Very good service. Help to find what i wanted immediately. Questions answered about plant problems at home and staff very helpful.all round good experience

C L

Bought umbrella swing chair love it staff was helpful

Tom Johnson

Good selection of seasonal plant materials and supplies considering Vermeers is a relatively small garden centre. Very, very nice seasonal gift shop that includes everything from clothing, accessories and fragrance items to home and garden decor items to a beautiful Christmas shop. Limited selection of garden and patio furniture. Helpful staff. Little bit pricey. Lots of free onsite parking. Closed Sundays.

Louise Halvorson

What a great place to do business with. I ordered flowers for a special occasion with specific message. They went above and beyond. Thanks for making it happen ????

Pamela Fenwick

Wonderful selection, knowledgeable staff, a great place to explore for plants and giftware

My wife and I Always enjoy stopping and looking at the beautiful displays and plants. Had a informative visit with one of the male staff. He took time out to answer my questions about their poinsettia business. Kool!

Sheila Jones

Great place.

T C

Beautiful custom bouquets and arrangements at fair prices!!

Farah Siddiqui

The staff are really helpful and friendly, and the selection of plants is amazing. Unfortunately, all the plants I purchased came with bugs. The 8 inch hoya compacta hanging basket came with a spider mite infestation that has since infected all of my other plants. The philodendron brasil hanging basket also came with fungas gnat larvae crawling in the soil. I've never encountered such severely infested plants before and it was extremely disappointing to watch the rest of my plants suffer for it.

Dr.Tom Schulz

Awesome

Noor Awan

Great plant and pot selection, really reasonable pricing :) only wish it was closer to the GTA! But worth the long drive for sure

Janis Lehr

Great place and so beautiful during the Christmas Season!!

Melanie Rogers

I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my friend who lives in Ft. Vermillion Alberta. She chose Vermeer's here in Welland and an amazing choice it was.

Iam Mopsie

You get what you pay for, don't you ? This garden centre is very nice - clean, with beautiful, healthy plants. Good selection of fresh flowers as well. Assorted pots and accessories to make you smile. Staff is always friendly. I've given gift certificates for wedding gifts here, that's how much I like it.

Thomas Heinemann

(Translated) There is very good advice here. The staff are polite and helpful. You can find beautiful plants for the house and garden. Great. (Original) Hier gibt es eine sehr gute Beratung. Die Mitarbeiter sind höflich und hilfsbereit. Man findet schöne Pflanzen für das Haus und den Garten. Toll.

Anna

Haven’t been able to go in person yet but I bought a few plants when things were still limited to curbside pickup and the plants are all still doing really well - very healthy and pest-free. Very great prices too. Highly recommend :)

Kenneth Wilkinson

Want to get into the Christmas spirit this is the place to be. The pictures I have provided are just a glimpse of what awaits you. Lots of holiday gift ideas from plants to purses. Staff is super friendly and helpful in all aspects of items for sale. Just found out that they will re-pot your old orchids for about five dollars and that is a good deal. A wide choice of real and artificial Christmas trees, it is the best selection I have seen. Even if you don’t need anything it is worth the trip but I’m sure you will leave with something.

Heidi Knop-Grabiak

Looking for wedding floral? Look no further. Floral specialist, Barb, exceeded my vision and expectations in every way. She attentively listened to what I wanted and created the most jaw dropping wedding floral I could only have dreamed of. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the arrangements & bouquets were. Vermeer’s is timely, friendly, detailed and well priced. Thank you Barb & Vermeer’s for making our day special!
