I just like that these guys have everything you want, they're all really passionate and knowledgable and there aren't loads of stupid hipsters knocking about buying macrame- but they do sell it 🙂

Great garden centre. Well stocked, great selection of healthy plants. The owners and staff are all super knowledgeable and helpful. If you live near the triangle it's close enough to walk your purchases home. Sainsbury's car park is right next door. A gem and an asset to the area.

Proper garden centre. A nice choice of plants and gardening solutions. People working there are helpful and is nice to have a chat with them about your little projects. Very enjoyable just to wander around the centre. It's nice and well kept.

This place used to be good. Over the past 6-12 months prices have skyrocketed and the range and quality of plants has gone way down. The last straw for me was when I asked them to drop the price on a ratty looking plant with a lot of damaged leaves because I thought I could salvage some cuttings off of it and the guy said "That's the price." and literally turned his back on me and walked off. I will not be going back.

Such a gorgeous garden center, they have a really cute section for ferns and prehistoric looking plants with some toy dinosaurs - very helpful for keeping kids entertained. Great houseplants, my Pilea is ding really well (photo attached). Also have really nice cards - I often pop in there rather than a card shop for birthday and special occasions because they are so nice.

Really cute little garden centre, with a good array of indoor and outdoor plants, nicely separated into different sections such as suitable for shaded or non shaded environments. Also offer free pallets if you looking to pick some of those up to create your own garden furniture as we are.

I have been using this garden centre, amongst others, for over 20 years. I think this is my favourite, apart perhaps from Wisley, but this is much more personal and easy to negotiate! The staff are all friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The plants are in good condition and, for its size, there is a good selection to choose from.
