We buy our plants from premium growers, many of whom grow specifically for independent garden centres. We offer a level of care for the plants while they are in our garden centres, and accompanying knowledgeable service. High quality plants are cultivated in a better quality soil medium. They are properly fertilized, not forced for early bloom, which can weaken the plant. And, of course, premium plants begin with better quality seeds and/or plant cuttings. Additionally, we offer a wider variety of plants, in addition to the classics.
Davenport Garden Centre supports greenhouses that endeavour to use sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, for example, the collection of rainwater for the irrigation of their plants, and the use of beneficial organisms instead of insecticides.
When you buy high-quality plants to begin with you will notice that your plants are healthier and last longer.
With exception of the tropical and indoor plants, almost all of our plants are grown in southern Ontario.
We carry a wide variety of organic herbs and vegetables, and fertilizer and control products. Many of our annual, perennial, herb and vegetable growers follow sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. As most of our growers have their farms in southern Ontario, Davenport Garden Centre supports local environments and communities.
At the 368 Davenport Road location, we offer in-store design services, Monday to Friday. It is best to make an appointment to ensure availability.
We do not carry sod, only grass seeds.
If you email us a request, we will see whether we carry this item in store. Not all of our plants and products appear on our online catalogue. Also we can special order a plant for you if we do not have it available in one of our stores. It is always helpful to include, if possible, a photograph of the plant as well as its latin name. We will do our best to find what you are looking for.
All our hard goods, as well as air plants, succulents and cactus can be shipped Canada-wide. Some additional postal charges may apply. All plants and hard goods are available for delivery in the GTA area. Our shipping area map will indicate the boundaries of our local delivery service.

We carry only premium-quality Christmas trees grown on small-scale, family-operated farms. Our growers carefully hand-shear their trees, and fresh cut their trees as close as possible to the date they are being delivered to our stores. As a result, Davenport Garden Centre Christmas trees will have a beautiful Christmas tree shape, and will last a long time.
We close our physical stores and our online store for the winter on December 24. We re-open when weather allows, typically at the beginning of April. Please check this website for details about when our stores are re-open for the spring.
