| The entrance to the Wyevale Garden
Centre in Bristol. One of the larger garden centres in Bristol, we
review the plants, cafe, accessories, disabled access and lots
more. |
This is a totally independent GardenAction review of the
Wyevale Garden Centre in
Bristol.
Wyevale's in Bristol offers a broad range of all you
would expect from a garden centre but it excels in none. It is a
medium-sized garden centre situated in Keynsham on the outskirts of
Bristol.
PLANTS
 |
Similar in layout to other Wyevale garden centres
the outdoor plant area had wide aisles. It had an air of slight
neglect when we visited.
The floors had leaves on them and grass beginning to grow around
the edges of the paving slabs. |
| Many of the plants looked in good health and were
well-watered (see paragraph below though). All hardy plants came
with a reassuring 5 year guarantee.
The range of plants offered was good for the time of year
although this garden centre specialised in no particular area. |
 |
 |
It was windy on the day we visited and most of the
taller plants were blown over. This was not the case at other garden
centres we visited that day.
Some plants for sale in the outdoor area were barely more than
weeds, click the picture to enlarge it. We were particularly
surprised at this, unusual for a Wyevale garden centre. |
There were lots of helpful staff around but help desk or information centre in this garden
centre.
