HOUSE PLANTS
 |
There was a large range of indoor plants for sale at this garden
centre. All the plants were healthy and well-watered. The prices
were average. Plant information was only average and there was no
attempt to group the plants by growing conditions. The overall
display was inspiring. |
OTHER FEATURES
|
The indoor shopping area was very comprehensive. Certainly larger
than at most garden centres. The range of goods for sale was not
limited to gifts. Furniture was also available, as were books,
cards, clothing, almost everything except electrical goods! There
was an excellent kitchen shop and a large Food Hall. Often, this
level of non-gardening goods is at the expense of plants. Not at
this garden centre. |

 |
We were truly impressed when we viewed the art gallery at this
garden centre. A good range of pictures were for sale, each with
sufficient background information. |
AQUATICS AND PETS
| The only area which was not well-covered for a garden centre of
this this size was aquatics and pets. There was a small shop which
stocked a reasonable range of pet and fish accessories. There were
no pets or fish for sale. |
GARDEN CAFE
 |
We had a light lunch at the cafe and were impressed by the
quality and range of the food on offer. The service was excellent
with no queues. As the sign on the left states, over 90% of the
food is produced in the cafe and locally sourced. It certainly
tasted excellent. |
 |
Click the pictures and you will see that range of food is
extensive and excellently presented. As well as light lunches a good
range of main meals is on offer. The meat used for the roasts is
carved in front of you. This has to be the best garden centre cafe
we have visited to date. |
 |
DISABLED FACILITIES
Almost all of both the indoor and outdoor areas were easily accessible
for wheelchair users. Wheelchairs are available. Lots of effort has
clearly been made to make this garden centre disabled-friendly.
TOILETS
The toilets were clean and functional. Disabled toilets and baby
changing facilities were available. There were no queues.
CAR PARKING
There was more than sufficient car parking which was on level
ground.

SUMMARY
The Burford Garden Company have created an inspiring garden centre. The
range of plants is extensive and well-kept. The non-gardening shopping
area is massive and makes for a good afternoon's shopping. The cafe is
the best we have seen so far. We recommend this garden centre highly.
