They also cater for weddings, christenings, making button holes, hand bouquets etc. The staff are friendly and helpful, and Cottage Garden also have a delivery service. Be aware though, there is parking outside, but due to the close proxinity of two adjacent mini islands, access is tricky, especially at busy times of the day. A better option is to park in the larger car park adjacent to the canal, a little further down the road.

An expansive car park opens onto an outdoor area selling compost, which leads into the main entrance where the tills and advice desks are located. This area also has an impressive range of bird food and feeders, as well as an expansive range of seeds and plant food. The main outdoor area is partially covered, with plants that are both reasonably priced and healthy, which cannot be said for all garden centres. There is also quite a variety of specimens, considering the size of the garden centre. At the rear of the main plant area is a sizeable aquatics shop, where you can buy fish, aquatic plants, pond liners etc. Garden King also has a small tearooms/restaurant that sells hot drinks, light bites, as well as hot dinners. It also sells Vancouver Oak Furniture, as well as other assorted items for the home, i.e. mirrors, lamps etc. One last thing you must look out for as you enter the car park are the rather large signs, that have obviously been designed as a homage to Sid James in the Carry-on films!

The staff were really helpful and give us superb advice about plants and even helped us choose what we needed for our garden, they also gave advice of how to plant and where to situate them.

This is well worth a visit even if its just for an hour out, the centre itself has a couple of inside greenhouses and outside sections. The car park is quite small but adequate for the centre.

Byrkley Park is a large garden centre just outside Burton on Trent, near Rangemore, accessed by a…read moretree lined lane, and geographically near to St Georges Park. The car park is spacious and well landscaped with mature trees and even its own small traffic island. Inside you are initially taken into an area of house plants, solid oak furniture, and a myriad of products for birds. To the left is the Topiary Restaurant, a large spacious eating area, with variable seating, that attracts many visitors, it has a good range of hot and cold food, and drinks. The roast dinners are fairly impressive, but other products can be a little hit or miss, the cakes we had today were lovely, the brownie with hazelnuts and the non-fat fruit cake were packed with flavour, but on some visits the cakes have been so dry, they have been virtually inedible. The outside plant area, is the main reason we would come to Byrkley, the range of plants, trees and shrubs, as well as other products like gravel, fencing and pots are very impressive. But most of all the plants are healthy, and competitively priced, if you're prepared to buy a smaller plant and let it grow on. There are always pretty good deals, if you like to buy multiple plants. Inside is a good range of other garden items like tools, garden furniture, seeds etc. Byrkley also has a range of other areas, selling different products, not normally associated with a garden centre. Maybe I'm just old fashioned, I like garden centres to just sell plants and maybe have an adjoining cafe, but I suspect that would not cover the overheads of such a large concern. So, Byrkley also has three clothing areas including Cotton Traders and Edinburgh Woollen Mill; old fashioned, yes, but I am not their target audience. They also have an area selling pictures, cards, candles, ornaments etc. There is a small jewellery shop selling some unusual items, that would be perfect for a gift and a craft shop, that has expanded rapidly, with the advent of people making their own cards, painting etc. There is a small bookstore, which is good for a bargain, a delicatessen selling amongst other things, homemade chocolates and an impressive cookware shop too. The staff are friendly and offer useful advice particularly on the plant side, which is refreshing, and they do offer a garden club scheme, where you can pay £10 per year, and amongst other benefits gain 10% off all plant related products.

Although they do sell some very very nice things so I suppose you would expect to pay a bit more. The aquatics area is very cramped but the staff really know their stuff and will give you advice if you ask for it. I usually go here if I want to buy an unusual present for somebody (they sell very nice ornaments/vases) I would reccommend this garden centre to somebody who wants to spend the day relaxing, walking around looking at nice flowers and gifts.

We're sorry to hear that your Sea Holly isn't doing well. We'd like to let you know you can return the Sea Holly (or take photos) to your local Garden centre along with your receipt, barcode label, or order number. Our plant specialist will be able to inspect the plants and authorise an exchange with another plant of the same value. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you do require further assistance.
