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.

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.

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.

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.
