This is a totally independent GardenAction review of the
Hilltop garden centre in
Coventry.

and remains under the control of the same family. Over the years it has
been built into a medium sized garden centre which is very popular amongst the
locals.
THE PLANTS
 |
Some of the plants area is under cover and some not
covered. There was a good range of bedding plants and shrubs. At the
time of our visit there were lots of very attractive and healthy
looking hanging baskets. All the plants looked healthy, in the
correct pot sizes and were well-watered. |
| The garden centre is set in attractive gardens at the rear.
Hilltop garden centre stock a good range of fruit trees and other
ornamental trees, more than many garden centres of this size. Click
the picture on the right to see the two long lines of trees for
sale. All looked in good condition, |
 |
 |
There were no overhead signs in the plant area to help you
specific plants. However the shrubs were in alphabetic order which
was good. It would have been nice to see some grouping by shade or
sun etc. but overall finding specific plants was not a hard task.
The plant specific information was good. Click the picture on the
