The only word I can use for Wyvale Garden Centre (formerly Barton Grange) is "epic"... it's a…read morehumongous space full of everything you could need for your garden, from plants and shrubs, to trees, fountains, statues, tools, and equipment etc. It also has a cafe/restaurant, and a large shopping area of books, toys, games, gifts, food items, and a branch of Edinburgh Woolen Mill, as well as an aquarium. It's a nice place just to have a wander around to be honest, there's far too much and too many things for me to list. It also has good parking, and good disabled access, as well as friendly and helpful staff.

My missus gets very excited every time she goes in. We even honoured this place last year when we purchased our Christmas tree from here. Praise indeed. I've not tried their cafe, but friends who have say it's extremely good food, but very expensive. That covers the rest of the place really - you will get what you want here, it will be very good quality and it will be top money.

This branch is located in the Middlebrook Retail Park in the Horwich area of Bolton. I came into this store, while walking around the retail park and I hate to say it but I was really disappointing. I had no acknowledgement from any member of staff whether that be a greeting or to check if I am okay/if they could help with anything, which was a shame. The store overall doesn't feel too nice, in a way it just feels like a mess and I noticed very few items (if any) worth a second look. I'm struggling to come up with anything good to describe this store, it just seemed really poor in terms of overall layout, range and service so sadly deserves a single one star which is a shame to do considering this is my first review for a Homebase store and I am also first to review this branch on Yelp.
