LADY GREEN GARDEN CENTRE - THE PLANTS
 |
The outdoor plants area at Lady Green garden centre is very extensive.
This has allowed them to offer a superb range of plants. Not only are they in
exceptional condition but there are several areas where they specialsie. Acers,
conifers and camellias are just a few of the plants which have their own designated area |
|
Immense thought and skill has gone into the design of the plants area. It feels like you
are walking through someone's garden. Windy paths lead you through the huge
variety of plants. Bridges and large ponds break up the various areas. No rigid
criss-cross of paths here, definitely not. This all goes to make the experience of plant
shopping immensely pleasurable. It's worth a wander round even if you have no intention
of buying anything. |
 |
 |
With such a large area it's essential that the signs are good. And at this garden centre
they are excellent. You are directed around by large but unobtrusive pointers and when
you have found a particular plant group, the varieties are in alphabetic order. |
 |
 |
The outside area has an imposing help centre with lots of useful
reference material. The staff are also very knowledgeable. All the hardy plants
come with an excellent five year guarantee. |
 |
To sum up, this is a truly impressive outdoor plants area with a superb
range of plants. At the bottom of this page we have included a few pictures of the setting
the plants are in. Our photographic skills do not do this garden centre justice but they do
give the general flavour. Click on any picture to enlarge it.
