The key attraction of a mega-garden centre is that it contains much more than the normal medium-sized garden centre.

Cadbury Garden Centre fits this description exactly. It covers so much that a simple list would not do it justice. Along with that, my memory simply isn't good enough to recall the full list.

With that in mind the photograph on the left lists the key areas that are on offer at Cadbury's. This is not only a garden centre, it's a super store larger than most in the high streets.

The size of this garden centre also allows it provide a wide range of products within each area.

If you are looking for an afternoon out shopping for presents then Cadbury's will provide you with just that.

The remainder of this review will concentrate on the standard garden centre offering and how Cadbury Garden Centre compares to the competition.

As a shopping centre though, we recommend it highly.

The range of plants at Cadbury Garden Centre is extensive. Rather than specialising in any particular area the coverage is generalised. So if you are looking for most normal plants, you will find them offered in full at this garden centre.

If there is a particular area covered in more detail than normal it's ornamental trees. The range is extensive and the quality high.

With all those plants on offer it would be difficult to find the one you wanted without a good set of signs in the plant area.

At Cadbury's the signs are large and clear and allow you to find a particular plant with ease. When you locate the area, the plants within that area are in alphabetic sequence.

In the outdoor plant area there are the full range of accessories. All the normal range are featured with a huge range of containers.

If you require any help in choosing a plant there is a "manned" help desk with lots of plant specific brochures and othe information.
