HOUSE PLANTS
 |
The quality of the indoor plants was excellent and there was a very
large selection. The prices were average to slightly above average. |
OTHER FEATURES
Blooms is on the Studley Grange site which has several additional
facilities. There is a Craft Village which has a large children's
play area in the centre (70p to £1.30 per half hour). It is
surrounded by a large number of individual craft shops. Many of
the shops are aimed at entertaining children.
In addition there is Butterfly World (£4.50 adults, £3.50 for
kids). |

Having a Craft Village, Butterfly World and Blooms garden centre
(see below for pets and aquatics as well) makes this site a great
day out for all the family. Take a look at the Studley Grange
website by clicking
here. They describe the facilities available in much more
detail. |
AQUATICS AND PETS
 |
The Pet Shed stocks a large range of pets (almost all except
reptiles) and pet accessories. At the time of our visit the Pet Shed
was undergoing a refit. This is scheduled for completion in February
2008. We will revisit when the refit is complete but based on
local opinion we are sure this will be one of the best pet shops in
the area. |
The World of Water Aquatics Centre based in the Blooms
garden centre is very large. The range of fish and accessories is
comprehensive and attractively laid out. They also stock a good range of
water features for the garden. CAFE
 |
You will be spoilt for choice as far as food is concerned. The
Studley Grange Craft Village has its own cafe as does Blooms Garden
Centre. The Craft Village cafe (Papillon) is unashamedly aimed at
kids but food for the adults is also on offer. Click the menu board
on the left for a clearer picture of the menu. The food prices are
on the cheap side and quality is OK. One word of warning, the coffee
is from a machine and is not good at all.
Blooms also have a cafe which is aimed more for the adults. It is
bright, airy and very pleasant. Prices are average and the food
quality is good. We recommend the Blooms cafe especially if it's tea
or coffee and a cake you are after. |
DISABLED FACILITIES
