Bents Garden Centre
This is a totally independent GardenAction opinion of Bents Garden Centre. CLICK ANY PICTURE ON THIS PAGE TO ENLARGE IT BENTS GARDEN CENTRE - THE PLANTS AREA
|
 |
About a third of the outdoor plant area is enclosed in glass. It gives the impression of a huge glasshouse. Tender plants are stored under the cover whilst hardier shrubs are stored in the uncovered area. |
|
 |
Both the covered and uncovered areas are well designed with displays to provide lots of
interest. At the same time, the paths are wide enough for wheelchair access. The plants are prevented from being blown over by grid supports at the base. The plants are all in excellent condition and well watered. The whole are is immaculately clean. |
 |
The range of plants is extensive, both common plants and many unusual
varieties. |
 |
 |
The outside area is large but the overhead signs make finding your way around
very easy. They are clear and informative. When you have found the plant group you
are interested in, the plants are in alphabetic order. A lot of thought has gone into making the outdoor area interesting and the effort has paid off. |
