The Fosseway Garden Centre is in the attractive village of Moreton-in-Marsh. It's also near Batsford Arboretum if you want a day out. We review this modern garden centre and give you our opinion.

This is a totally independent GardenAction review of the Fosseway Garden Centre, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire. Click any picture to enlarge it.

PLANTS

All the plants in the outdoor area were very healthy and well-cared for. The entrance to the garden centre proclaims a three year guarantee on all hardy plants, good news.

The area is well laid out with good clear signs to all the major plant groups. Within each plant group the plants are in alphabetic order making it easy to find specific plants.

Large structural plants at Fosseway Garden Centre The range of plants is good and you are likely to find the plants you want at this garden centre. At the same time they also had a wide range of large potted plants (click the left hand picture to enlarge it). The garden centre also specialises in large structural plants with a particularly large range of excellent bamboo. These large plants are expensive, as would be expected for such large specimens. But there are few (if any) nearby garden centres which stock this range of structural plants, well done Fosseway.

They also have an excellent display of Haddonstone stoneware with access to the full range via catalogues.

As well as healthy plants, the outside area had wide paths free from clutter. All the areas clean and tidy.

There was a small portion of the outside plants area which was covered (see picture on the right). There was no dedicated help centre but there was lots of helpful staff on hand who were more than willing to help with any questions.

The Fosseway Garden Centre has a dedicated shop for garden machinery. Both large and small machinery was stocked along with a wide range of spares and accessories. If any spare is not in stock, they are more than willing to order it for you.
