Golden Acre is Calgary's ode to gardening die-hards. However, more appealing is the fact that you don't even have to be interested in gardening to have a good time in GA. Just sifting through store and the goodies inside is a nice way to kill a couple of hours. The bonus is being surround by what seems like a forest of plants is a very relaxing venture. I feel at peace here.
This place has everything including rows of soil, a plethora of fertilizers, pots large enough to store bodies in (not that I would recommend it), colourful and ugly flowers and plants, patio furniture and a 10 foot knight one could purchase as a piece for the garden. The knight alone make for some good fun and pictures.
