About Our Plants
Unlike other nurseries in the city, we grow all of our plants in-house right here in Toronto from our flagship farm in North York! Cutting out the middle-man helps us guarantee you the best price and quality, every time.
Our plants are all grown indoors using modern urban farming techniques that minimize energy and water consumption. This means we don't have to deal with things like pests and inclement weather - allowing us grow you a picture perfect plant every time, guaranteed.
Yes! Our plants are all grown using 100% organic-certified growing media and fertilizer, and because they're grown indoors away from pests you can rest assured they've never been sprayed.
We pride ourselves in our ability to consistently grow the best plants possible. For that reason you can always expect your plants to be as fully developed as the ones pictured on their respective product page.
Local Pick-Up
Yes! We exclusively offer free pick-up at partner community centres and events in the spring. All you have to do is select local pick-up at check-out and choose a desired pick-up event. A member of the etobiGrow team will contact you a few weeks in advance with exact details on the event. If you're unable to make your selected pick-up day that's totally fine! We'll have other pick-up days at local markets and parks that we can coordinate around.
In 2021 we received immense support from our community, who ordered plants for pick-up and delivery across Toronto and as far-reaching as Vaughan! This year however we've decided to partner with local community groups to help with fundraisers, host educational days, and more. This will help us focus more on growing you the perfect plants while still keeping our weekly obligations to local restaurants and grocers - etobiGrow is still entirely owned operated by me and my brother, and consolidating pick-ups into specific community events really helps us simplify the process!
