Brianna HarrisonI’ve always been jealous of other amateur cooks who can simply pick fresh veggies from their backyard garden. Since I live in a condo, I don’t have the space to plant tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and the like.
That’s when my friend suggested that I try a hydroponics setup—not only is it perfect for small spaces or balconies, it’s also cleaner and easier to manage. A few months later, I was picking plump tomatoes from my own hydroponics garden.
For those who also want fresh herbs and veggies, here are the best hydroponic shops in Toronto—trust me, they’re worth it!
How much does a hydroponic garden cost in Toronto?
A hydroponic setup in Toronto ranges from as low as $50 to $130 for basic countertop kits to over $1000 for advanced furniture-style systems. Ongoing monthly costs, which include electricity, nutrients, and water, amount to $60 to $190.

Thank you for the support to a newbie in hydroponics
“After a week looking for an indoor garden, I came across this company, and it’s very close to us. Delivery was amazingly fast, and when I opened the package, the wick mat was ripped. As this is my first time trying, I was nervous if this indoor garden would work with a ripped mat. Sure enough, I called the company and he ordered a mat replacement as well as guided me that the system still works while the new mat is being ordered. I would not hesitate to buy from this store and have been recommending it to friends and family. Thank you so much for the support to a newbie in hydroponics and an indoor gardener.”

Amazing selection of products for all your growing needs
“Astral Grow is a great shop with an amazing selection of products for all your growing needs. For Canada, the prices can’t be beat, as well as the service and response/lead time. The team at Astral worked very fast and hard to help me with my selections as well as product information. They are hands down the best price. Looking forward to buying from them again.”

Grow It All is another go-to spot for indoor gardening goodies—thousands in fact, so it’s safe to say they know a thing or two about hydroponics.
They’re known for their durable hydroponic trays and light domes, which are great for keeping your plants evenly lit and fed. Speaking of light, they carry SunBlaster CFL lamps, which promote organic growing.
Another highlight is their range of fabric pots and grow bags—a solid upgrade from plastic planters. They offer better drainage and airflow, meaning your plants grow faster and stay healthier.
And if you’re a deal hunter (like, who isn’t?), check out their online clearance section—they offer discounts as high as 95%!
Note, however, that some of their gear runs a little pricier compared to other stores.
The gentleman there was so kind, patient, & informative
“We went here to get real in-person advice on our failing hydroponic system (vs all the videos we’d been watching). The gentleman there was so kind and patient, and never made us feel stupid (despite the multitude of problems we’re having, and gaps in very foundational hydroponics knowledge). He was so informative, speaking from 17 years of growing experience – and he showed us pictures and products that would help us restart our veggie garden. He didn’t try to upsell us on anything. In fact, we left with an A and B solution that was only $5. He told us to come back when our new seeds had germinated, and we definitely will! Plus, they were playing The Grateful Dead in the shop – what’s not to love!?”

The store collaborates with top brands, ensuring you have everything needed for thriving plants. Whether you’re a beginner or an avid grower, Grow It All provides lights, nutrients, pest management solutions, and a diverse selection of seeds.

Growers World is a family-run shop that has been helping hydroponic and cannabis growers since 2009.
One of the biggest perks they offer is their friendly and genuinely passionate team. They’ll help you figure out what works best for your space and budget.
For those building a hydroponics setup from scratch, they’re pros at designing grow rooms. You can tailor everything—lighting, ventilation, irrigation, nutrients—the works.
What’s cool is that they host Weekend Madness, where you can catch local comedians and shop at cool vendor booths—kind of like a grow shop meets a weekend market. Not only will you have a good time, but you’ll also connect with like-minded people.
The only real downside? Some customers have reported glitchy payment systems, which can be frustrating during checkout.
They really take care of you and give you the best products!
“Had such a great experience! AJ really knew his stuff. I’ve purchased a couple of plants from here. To be quite honest, I was a little nervous about purchasing a plant because I knew nothing about it. But AJ definitely provided great service and educated me on how to take care of it, what to feed it, and when to etc. Now, my plant is so healthy and beautiful, I can’t wait for it to start budding. I definitely recommend this place to everyone! They really take care of you and give you the best products! I will definitely be back soon! Thanks again, AJ!”

What a cool place for all of your planting needs
“What a cool place for all of your planting needs. Everything from the different types of soils, to tools, to planting supplies, and light tents. The staff are very knowledgeable, to assist you with any problems that you may have, or with just finding that special item.
The environment at Grower’s World on the Danforth is relaxing and calm. Not like other places that I’ve been to. Where the staff always bothers you. Thanks to Tommy & all of the Staff @ Grower’s World. Thank You!! Eddie.”

If you’re watching your budget, make sure to visit their online clearance section, where you can find lighting equipment, trimmers, and more.
That said, some customers have told us that a few of their items lean on the pricey side.
This is my favorite grow shop

Holland Industry has been in the hydroponics scene for over 14 years.
You can choose to go for a simple setup or go all out with an advanced system—they’ll provide customized solutions based on your preferences and budget.
As for equipment, their online and physical stores are stacked with everything you need, like grow tents, fans, lamps, reflectors, and hoses.

As a bonus, they offer free shipping on orders less than 40 lbs.
On the other hand, we did hear about abrupt order cancellations. This could be very annoying, especially if you’re on a tight schedule.
Great place to get all your hydroponic needs
“Great place to get all your hydroponic and soil, or coco needs. Huge variety and really great prices. I generally come here for Cocoloco and Gaia Green dry amendment products, as well as fabric pots. The staff is super friendly and always willing to help with any info regarding your grow.”
