Escape the cold with The Enjoy Centre, a lush garden & retail oasis located only minutes from the heart of Edmonton!
Brief history: When they opened The Enjoy Centre in 2011, Bill and Jim Hole were on a mission to create a unique shopping experience unlike anything else in the Edmonton area. The two brothers were originally inspired by Dutch styles of retail that bring together several community-run businesses under one roof. Alongside their family business, Hole’s Greenhouses & Gardens—founded in 1952 by Bill and Jim’s parents, Lois and Ted Hole—The Enjoy Centre welcomed patrons to grab some groceries, snack on delicious baked goods, or get some much needed TLC from the on-site spa.
Although the Holes no longer own the building, The Enjoy Centre still represents their dream: a multi-use space that offers visitors a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. When Hole’s Greenhouses & Gardens shut their doors in 2020, Salisbury Greenhouse stepped in to uphold the legacy of family-run garden centres. The Sproule family have offered an expansive selection of houseplants, perennials, and more to Sherwood Park since 1965 and are thrilled to be supporting the St. Albert community as well.
Unique retailers: Specific to Salisbury at Enjoy is the Floral Studio, where their in-house florist can create made-to-order fresh flower arrangements for any kind of special occasion or event. After wandering the gardens, you can browse a collection of wares by Edmonton artists and creators at The Makers Keep or sample some of the most delectable olive oils and balsamic vinegars in Canada at Evoolution. You can also find a selection of health foods at Amaranth Whole Foods Market, unique organic wines and craft beers at Liquid Harvest, and handmade baked goods at Wild Earth Bakery.
Looking to relax? Visit Wellness Within Health Spa & Yoga Centre to rejuvenate your body through their massage, facial, and acupuncture treatments. You can also get your body moving with spin, yoga, and barre classes.
A lil extra flair: Beyond your go-to retail destination, The Enjoy Centre is also an event venue! While many greenhouses sit empty in the off-season, The Enjoy Centre’s innovative use of space allows for their sales floor to be turned into an event hall for nine months out of the year. The Moonflower Room serves as a beautiful backdrop for your upcoming wedding or fundraiser with 9-metre-high glass ceilings and capacity for over 600 people. Or marvel at the breathtaking views of the Glasshouse Kitchen|Bar at your next holiday gathering, available for a seated private dinner for up to 100 people or for semi-private bookings for groups of 20–55.
