The Botanist

I love, love, love this little gem just off Edmonton Trail in Calgary. The owner and staff are hands down the most welcoming and friendly group I've ever met. Can I just live in a corner of this store? Excellent choice of plants and the owner will be upfront and tell you exactly what to expect with the type of plant you're purchasing. They also carry unique gifts, cards, artwork and a variety of decorative pots. Walk around in the magic of this lovely little place and support local YYC business owners!

By far my favourite plant store in the city. A one stop shop for plants, jewelry, cards, artisinal goods, and more. Meaghan truly cares for each and every one of her customers, and takes extra time and care to ensure you have a positive experience. This shop is suitable for people new to plant growing as well, since staff are willing to offer advice and tips based on your growing expectations. Great variety and great prices.

I found the Botanist by accident, turns out not to be an accident! I ordered and received 3 plants via delivery. All beautiful, in good shape and the delivery packaging was amazing! I cannot wait to expand! The team is amazing, very accommodating, the plants are healthy and will have a long happy life. Meaghan and team, you now have a loyal customer! I love supporting small business in Calgary!!!!

Amazing staff! They answered every question I had about some care for my plants at home from a cactus to air plants.This was my first time purchasing carnivorous plants to control pests at home. They were so helpful and kind!Super cute store with a wide and varied selection of plants, seeds etc.Only thing to keep in mind, is the parked is a little limited, especially at peak times. There was street parking though too.Cannot recommend highly enough!

Made my first order online for a banana tree and had it delivered. It came crazy fast and well packaged. Great communication from seller. Very happy with what I got and will order again!

I had my wedding bouquets, boutonniere's and table flowers all done by Meghan at The Botanist in October 2022. She created the most beautiful arrangements I could have ever imagined! I didn't have too much of a vision, I knew I wanted soft, fall colors but not much more than that. Meghan is a creative artist and she really turned my bouquet (and all of the flowers) into a work of art. It was unique and we received so many compliments on all of the arrangements. We couldn't sing their praise more. This is also a great shop for all your household plant needs, and things you never knew you needed.Thanks again!!!

A quaint little gem of a plant/floral shop.Lots of neat and quirky plants, succulents, and seeds too.The staff is super helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly.Try it, you'll like it!

The Botanist Calgary deserves 6 stars if was possible. I had come to Meaghan with the impossible plight to find a magnificent Ficus bonsai (like one my mom loved in the UK). Wow! Meaghan certainly outdid herself with this project. She arranged the (fresh) potting with gorgeous moss with crystal detailing stones in a perfect modern elegant plantar that fit the bonsai perfectly. She even took the 100th extra step and hand wrote a personalized birthday card for my mom (with a wax sealed enveloped *talk about a chef’s kiss moment*). The customer service I got was impeccable. Meaghan was so professional, proactive in sending pictures every step of the way, and had such a great eye for detail. Botanist Calgary Hand delivered it to my mom in an accurate narrow time window on her birthday, with the upmost care and were so pleasant to my mom. Even then “how to care for” directions were very pretty. The bonsai was lush and healthy on arrival. I forgot to mention, we arranged all this with me in the UK and over her website messaging service (talk about efficient). I am so grateful to Meaghan and the Botanist Calgary team, thanks to you, you have my mom smiling for days. Thank you. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Don’t believe me, just look at the photos…

You cannot find friendlier or helpful customer service! There are also store Chihuahuas that enthusiastically greet you! (Your pets are also welcome!) This year, I found my Amyrillis' here. They turned out extra fancy! Also my first Carnivorous plant (Drocera capensis alba), and a Golden Fiddle Philodendron. +++Recommend for all levels of Plant Enthusiasts!
