Unleash Your Plant Obsession at the Top Greenhouses in Ottawa (You Won’t Believe What They Have!)
Look, I don’t have a green thumb. In fact, I can’t count how many plants I’ve accidentally killed when I was trying to liven up my home with a touch of green.
The shelves filled with an array of indoor plants became what I’d like to call “the shelf of shame,” as they’ve all eventually turned brown.
However, recently, I’ve started becoming more interested in having plants in my home again. And this time, I vow to take extra good care of them!
Coming back to this interest sparked my curiosity to delve deeper into Ottawa’s greenhouse scene, seeking out the best havens for plant lovers like myself – yes, even the ones with the complete opposite of a green thumb!
In an effort to make this comprehensive list diverse, I’ve also included other greenhouses known for sightseeing and their variety of produce.

Moreover, their tropical greenhouses operate all year round, so you can shop for succulents no matter the season.
