It's probably the largest collection of nurseries and garden centres in the country. It feeds my dreams of what I would do if I owned an acre or two. There's so much on offer from many of the specialist centres - whether your need is for a small shrub for a window box or your whole garden re-designed. You would need more than a day to visit all that Crews Hill has to offer. As well as nurseries, there are aquatic centres selling tropical fish and swimming pool and spa specialists. As with many gardens centres, they don't just sell flowers there are tons of items for the home: candles, ornaments, bric a brac etc. It really is a browsers delight and beware of impulse buying. I never thought I'd have need of a carved wooden elephant or a collection of painted pine cones, but those have been two of my recent purchases here. One day, I'll find a place to put them.

The garden centres here are cheaper than those where I live and they have far more choice. they are also well worth visiting at Christmas, as the displays are wonderful and they have lots of decorations to choose from. If you come down the road from the Enfield end, the very last garden centre on your left has a great cafe. On Sundays, they do hot roast beef rolls with horseradish that are to die for.

We spoke to the manager who advised us that they would do anything without a receipt. The plant was perfect and the pot had their barcode on the bottom, but they refused an exchange.

I ordered a mature Wedding Cake tree at a total cost of £795, the picture of it was beautiful. However, unknown to me, the tree I ordered was not a Wedding Cake Tree-but what I would call a Lollipop Tree- Stem 10 ft with a badly pruned top. HORRID I arranged to send the tree back to Hampshire Freight, paying the cost- but it wasn't my fault. Sent email to let them know where it was on 11th November. Told not to ring them, just use email. Guess what, they don't read their emails !! I am still waiting for my refund. Next port of call, the Manager. Gill P.

I love walking around this oasis, and always come away with something if only with a little house plant. Don't worry if you don't know your topiary from your perennials either, that's what they're there for! My Aunt was assisted by a very helpful young gentleman who listened to her and made some very wise suggestions of plants that she needed and a lot of advice on how to care for them too, and if you have bags of money, they'll landscape for you. You could create a Japanese garden or even club tropicana, as they have full-sized palm trees! Brilliant.

Finchley nurseries is a large garden centre which has a couple of fields of plants and flowers…read more They also have a rather big shop where you can buy anything garden from garden tools, seeds and pots, and even food such as home made jams and cakes etc. The two women were really helpful and seemed to know what they were talking about. I bought a sprouting container from here and some seeds that I hope I can grow and eat. They took the time to explain how to do it so wish me luck. They also had some nice sweets, I bought a nut crunch bar from here and some juice. I really like this place and love looking at all the varieties of plants.

Very disappointed with post sale customer care. Rude staff, patronising and unhelpful…read more A deciduous plant did not do well and died: most standard nursery would have the decency to acknowledge the concern and address the issue. We were told that our poor after care killed the plant. The manager was rude, patronising and extremely unhelpful. I have returned to buy more plants and flowers from the nursery and there was no goodwill. In spite of explaining that £14.99 was not going to an issue but the lack of common courtesy and good customer care was appalling. Just very poor attitude and behaviour. The way the manager spoke was very rude and not sure he would want to be spoken to in that manner. Will be careful before buying plants from here in future

This is one of my all-time favourite garden centres. Quite a claim, I have been to many, I love…read moregardening...and I'm still a way off 50 years old!! Told about this place by a neighbour who talked of this magical land where plants were of fantastic quality and un-London-like low prices. In order to access this place you have to go in through what looks like a persons front driveway and then into a set back car park. Is a bit weird, a bit of a tight fit, but trust me, it's there. They have a great array of on-location grown plants by season and a host of greenhouses that you can wander through to pick up your seedlings and one also dedicated solely to a fantastic selection of bulbs. They often have bulk buy offers on too. Shrubs, trees, fruit trees, annuals, grasses, hedging...you name it they have probably got it. So why does this not get 5 stars you ask? Well, there is one key thing missing form this place that I'm sure would be a worthwhile investment for them: a cafe. Their demographic are the types of people who like to take their time to see everything, then pause, and then carry on going. There is nowhere to take that pause, and that unfortunately often means that people end their mooch around much quicker than they otherwise would. Oh, handy tip, they do have toilets, but they are at the end of the car park and not in the garden centre itself. A little weird, but at least they have them

There is a nice little cafe inside from which you can order very basic snacks, but they have outside seating and what could be better than to sit amongst a marvelously well stocked and manicured 'garden', listening to the subtle sounds of a man made waterfall in the sunshine with a reasonably priced latte? The staff are helpful but a little lax (which is not a bad thing i suppose, better than a highly strung retailer) as they actually locked me in one evening as they didn't even bother to do a final sweep of the place before locking up...numpties Anyway, there is ample parking and being just next to Ally Pally you can leave the garden centre, Ranunculus, Bizy Lizzies and Hydrangeas under arm and take a stroll around this beautiful park.

After purchasing 3 pots and then changing our mind we were told that a refund could not be granted,…read moreand that it had to be put onto a refund card. We were told implicitly at the time of purchase that a refund would be given, not a credit. We were told to take it up with head office at British Garden Centres and it was only by doing so and returning to the store that a refund, reluctantly I would add, was given. Having later checked on the company's website, it clearly states that refunds are granted within 28 days of purchase, so perhaps with the pots costing £600 was the reason behind their reluctancy. Businesses are run on trust but I would never have any faith or be willing to ever enter this shop again.
