Wyevale Coventry Garden Centre

HOUSE PLANTS

OTHER FEATURES
As is normal for medium sized garden centres there are few other features in this Coventry garden centre. No aquatics or pet shops and only a few books and gifts.

At the time of our visit there was a good selection of barbecues and outdoor furniture.

DISABLED FACILITIES
This was disappointing. No wheelchairs were available and no special toilet facilities. The garden centre had obviously been designed with the disabled in mind because there were no steps. But the aisles over many parts of the garden centre, especially the plant area, were cluttered with plants, spades and other obstructions. I would guess that 30% of the plant area was obstructed in some manner as far as the disabled would be concerned.

At the time we visited (11.00 onwards) some of the plant area had widebore hosepipes across many of the aisles and pools of water. This would also prove difficult for the disabled. Most other garden centres don't appear to have this problem.

TOILETS
The toilets were clean with no queues. We could not find any areas designated for the disabled or toddler changing facilities.

SUMMARY
Coventry is short on large garden centres so Wyevale is a good place to visit to provide a broad range of your gardening needs. But it's not one we would wholeheartedly recommend. The disabled facilities are also poor. Prices are acceptable.
