Gardeners can find everything from azaleas to zucchini seeds at this sprawling Scarborough centre. A rarity in these parts, this operation is open year-round; on the frostiest day, a walk through the heated greenhouses, with a strong selection of dozens of healthy plants, is like an expedition to a tropical rain forest. Choices range from easy-care succulents like rubber plants and jade ($2.50 and up) to such exotics as fragrant jasmine. Indoor fruit trees include Dwarf kumquats and Eureka lemon trees (from $150) that brush the ceiling and are laden with edible palm-sized fruit.
Hours:
May and June, M–F 8 a.m.–9 p.m., Sa–Su 8–5; July to April, M–Sa 8–6, Su 8–5
