This is a totally independent GardenAction opinion of Burford Garden Centre in the Oxfordshire area. Click any picture to enlarge it.
PLANTS
| We visited the garden centre at the very beginning of the gardening season and were pleased to find a huge range of shrubs and herbaceous plants. Exactly the correct range of plants for the garden at this time of the year. The picture shows just some of the roses available. A comprehensive choice of David Austen roses was also on display |
|
 |
As the picture illustrates there was a large range
of fruit trees ready for planting at the Burford Garden Centre. The range of ornamental trees was
also impressive as was the huge number of clematis The outdoor plant area was well-kept with wide uncluttered paths. Almost all areas of the plant area was easily accessible to wheelchair users. |
|
 |
The outdoor plant area was of the standard straight path design
which was a little uninspiring. But the many signs enables you to
find the plants you want easily. We saw no outdoor information centre although there were customer services desks indoors to supply information on plants. |
