Garden Tour

Inside The Pear

If you want to see everything we have inside at the Prickly Pear, make sure to give yourselves lots of time. We have a large, eclectic assortment of giftware, stuff for the home, as well as tropical plants, fresh flowers, seasonal goodies and essential items for the gardener.

Outside The Pear

Winter, spring, summer and fall, you can find something you need, outside in our garden area. From the city's best hanging baskets spring and summer, to pumpkins and Christmas trees, fall and winter. Year long, we have a great assortment of outdoor containers, planted and ready to brighten up your deck or doorway, or empty and awaiting your inspiration.

Around Town

Steveston is a little corner of Richmond. When our grand-parents lived here there were numerous canneries, a large fishing fleet and a few farms. Now Steveston is a place to wander the waterfront, get fish and chips, check out the shops and of course the garden centre. The canneries are gone but the fishing fleet remains and seafood can be purchased right off the boats at the sales dock.
