Garden Centre Recommendations?

I'm finding winter is really taking it's toll on me and spring just can't come soon enough! So to try and forget about all the white fluff covering the ground, I'd like to visit some garden centres. My favourite one in London, ON is Parkway Gardens. It's one of the largest in London and even has some large Eucalyptus, Ficus benjamina and Ficus elastica growing in the ground.

I'm hoping to find some large and luxurious (well wide selection of plants) greenhouses in South-Western Ontario. What are your favourite must-visit garden centres in Ontario? For that matter are there any great greenhouses or summer gardens you'd recommend?

Parkway Gardens - Random Photos

Here are the last few pictures of our hour long vacation to Parkway Gardens.  I resisted taking a picture of the cyclamen the entire time because for some reason it seems cliche to me.  I caved and took one anyway.  There were also about four different varieties of banana and a two-storey rubber plant.  If you live in or around London, Ontario this is one of the best garden centres.  We were a little disappointed not to see the greenhouse cat, but there's always next time.

Parkway Gardens - Succulents?

Can anyone identify these succulents.  I have an idea of the species but not the specific varieties.  Thanks for the help.

Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi (not entirely sure but appears to be the closest suggestion, the flowers are difficult to see but the colour on the visible ones appears correct)


Rhapsalis



Euphorbium trigona

Parkway Gardens - Citrus

We went to Parkway Garden Centre today to pick up some tomato, leek and bok choy seeds.  We ended up getting a dwarf tomato variety called "Tiny Tim" so that we can start some now under a low grow light.  I ended up bringing the camera and took a few pictures.  I've uploaded some pictures of the various citrus plants I saw.  It was nice to pretend that it wasn't -10C out!
