Vales Greenhouse

This greenhouse has the most amazing flower pots this season. Get them before they are all gone. They have the cutest little coffee cart so be sure to get a coffee and a treat, grab a table in the shade and enjoy all the beautiful flowers.

Wow! This is a lovely place to pick up pretty much everything you could want for your garden. Incredible selection and reasonable pricing. And they guarantee perennial shrubs and trees for 2 years! Will be back!

Nice find! Was looking for a specific, hard-to-find perreniel plant that none of the Calgary locations had this year. Called Patty at Vales and she had a few. We drove out and voila! What a great greenhouse...I ended up buying extra items because I just couldn't resist. The staff is über friendly and helpful, and it's obviously a much beloved location because everyone there seemed to know one another... You know the place: people chat about plants while shopping, while looking, while waiting in line, etc. Loved it!

Amazing greenhouse and garden centre. The staff and owner were very helpful in helping us find complementary plants. The choice of plants is vast and interesting, including many unusual varietals, art, baskets, .... I've included some of my favorites, but there were so many! Google reviews asks if this place is wheelchair accessible. It is,but the alleys and what's are small river gravel.

Vales Greenhouse is a jewel in the small town of Black Diamond! My friend from Canmore who is a customer & has raved about this beautiful spot offered to drive to Calgary & take me there on May 2.
I have health issues & limited mobility & was planning to use a wheelchair. Calling ahead the owner Katrina suggested we arrive later in the day as they would be open to 7 PM. Although pathways within the various greenhouses are packed gravel ~ she offered to be as accommodating as possible & she was! It was my 1st visit to 'Vales Greenhouse' & from the moment we entered I felt as though we had entered paradise. The gorgeous & unusual colours as well as the quality of the plants & the amazing scents floating through the air was wonderful. We wandered at our heart's content & the staff are so friendly & accommodating! My friend was purchasing for her mountain garden & myself for a Calgary patio! We were so excited with our purchases! And yes ~ all the practices at 'Vales Greenhouse' are set-up with safe practices re: Covid. I would encourage a visit sooner rather than later as some of the plants are more unusual & selling quickly. My friend has returned a second time as her son & fiance arranged a post Mother's Day excursion & 2 others I have spoken to will be going as well. The drive out in the country will do your heart good & you will find some amazing plants & other garden & home treasures in the shop. Enjoy the Experience!!

Absolutely incredible....the landscaping, flowers, artwork...I even bought myself an egret for my homes in Belize

My one and only place to buy top-quality plants. I've had tremendous success with every plant I've purchased here; they are hardy and resiliant. I suspect it comes down to how they are initially started and cared for and I believe this nursery really cares about the quality of what they are selling and wish for their plants to flourish in your home garden. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and will take the time to answer questions. Very pretty location that I always look forward to visiting.

Great spot. Great service and super friendly staff. Pricing was ok.

Beautiful garden centre with many varieties of plants. Everyone working there was helpful and lovely, even to my two year old. Don't understand the negative reviews. I also didn't let my toddler run wild or pick at flowers we weren't purchasing though.

If you haven't been here before, you do need to stop in and see it yourself. It is worth the drive. Yes! Even if you live in Calgary, Okotoks, High River or DeWinton. Their selection of plants and garden items like rain chains and wind catchers is amazing. You can find all the flowers for your garden you have been searching for. (btw, i think they have more selection than most Calgary garden centres) Not to mention the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful.

First visit here and was definitely surprised. Great gem of a greenhouse! Staff, especially Patty, were exceptional. Very courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. A wide selection of plants, vegetables, herbs, trees and shrubs. Great selection of yard ornaments as well. Will probably be making numerous visits here over the summer.

Lots of beautiful plants. Staff are friendly and helpful.

We go here every year for their art show. It is a beautiful venue for the art displayed amongst all the plants and shrubs. You will see art from numerous artist's in different mediums: painting, ceramics, wood, glass, and crafts. All the work is quality and the prices are reasonable. There are top artists selling here, and are often present. You can also purchase plants and other gardening items and the staff is numerous and very helpful.

Amazing collection of annuals, perennials and pots, plus extremely knowledgeable staff make this an absolutely necessary stop on your gardening journey!

Great selection of perennials and some that I could only find here! Firefly staff and reasonable prices. Well worth the drive from SW Calgary.

Outstanding service and exceptional plants. I will return time and time again. Children ARE allowed and they love looking at the plants and helping parents select them. When children wish to run around and play, there's a park right next door. Go to Vales in the early evening, as there are less people there.

A great selection of annuals and perrenials of all shapes and sizes in a beautiful riverside location. There are many reasons to visit Black Diamond but this is the best one. The labels on each plant with the information on growing conditions are particularly helpful and so are staff members

We really enjoyed our first visit to Vale's and plan on making a return trip when we have more time to spare. I would estimate you would need ~1.5 hours to carefully peruse all of the greenhouses and the gift shop. The staff were knowledgable about their inventory and were able to direct me to the exact green house and/or cold frame where my enquiries were waiting.

They have an excellent selection of perenials and annuals, including items I wasn't able to find in the city. I was specifically looking for Nicotiana Alata or Sylvestrii, and they had the latter. I was also able to purchase a couple of other talls for the border, foxglove (Digitalis) and Bells of Ireland.The drive out (22X) was very nice too, thru the rolling foothills!

If your looking for local business for plants etc. this is the place to go! Even get a 2 year warranty on perennials!! and the staff are so helpful in making sure you get the right one for the right spot in your garden.

Very helpful. Great advice on purchasing and adapting outdoor plants to indoor plants. Had a great conversation with the owner on the way out. Good prices
