It is run by people who absolutely adore their jobs. The owner was quite old when I was regularly going there about ten years ago and I went today and he was still there - zooming around in his electric wheelchair. There is nothing that will separate him from his nursery and his enthusiasm is catching. Customer service here is amazing and any question you have related to gardening will be answered in detail with 100% surety by the staff. They have been in business for years and years and it is clear to see why. The signage hasn't been replaced or updated for quite a few years and is looking pretty worn but don't let that deter you. There is a huge range of plants and seedlings available as well as all the essential fertilizers, rodent pesticides and weed killers. Their plants have always been good value and have always done well when I have followed the planting and care directions provided for each. This nursery is a great business to visit - and I would go there simply for the encouraging atmosphere, let alone the great prices. Check them out.

I know this stationery mega store has pretty much everything one could need when it comes to office…read moresupplies, but I still struggle to walk out of Officeworks satisfied. I usually frequent the Collingwood store these days for last minute office emergencies, but the Frankston store was always my local. Both I have found, lack that all important quality customer service. It is my belief, that if a store is going to be built by such epic proportions, then the business needs to supply adequate staff to be on the floor at all times, in all departments. On far too many occasions, I have been in a rush to locate something in particular and have found absolutely no one around for miles. The store's so empty I could hear crickets. Prices may be reasonable but if I can't find someone to consult on what the best say, webcam is or style of photo paper is best, I'm going to leave the store. Which I have done. On numerous occasions. Perhaps if megastores like Officeworks put as much effort into their customer service as they do their product range and low prices, they wouldn't lose as many customers.

On my last visit I spent a lot of my time eyeing a long handmade redgum bench. Sleek and simple it stood in the middle of the store and radiated comfort. Unfortunately the price tag (well over $1000) and lack of space in my house meant that I didn't have a hope in hell. But I can dream. Wilkins and Kent have some great kitchenware ranges including the Nigella Lawson range, and some exquisite ceramic bowls. On my last visit I bought some ceramic birds that hang from the wall - glazed with beautiful colours they are beautiful little pieces of art and around the ($50) mark, weren't too expensive. The service at Wilkins and Kent is always great, although the store can get very busy so it may take a while to get some service. But friendly and well meaning, the sales assistants are helpful and knowledgeable about the products.

This is also one of those stores that you need to slowly work your way through in order to appreciate it for what it really is. Incidentally, it would be easy to mistake this shop as a homeware store, but in actuality, Wilkins and Kent specialise in custom designed furniture. And from what we hear, the bosses Jeremy Wilkins and Stephen Kent are the actual furniture makers. If you're looking to create a custom designed piece or are just looking for something to complement your home with, check out this lovely store. Wilkins and Kent also carry a wide range of household décor items, stationery, gardening tools and other bits and bobs - perfect as gifts.

I'm full to bursting with Dad jokes like that one....and I know they are terrible but apart of me just likes them). There are grandfather clocks, cuckoo clocks, pocket watches and wristwatches. All of them have an antique/vintage feel and you sure as hell won't be finding any prada or chanel tickers in here. Phil is really nice and he runs the shop with Trish. They are both super helpful and when it comes to clocks and watches they really know their stuff. Prices in here can stretch pretty high but the products are beautiful and most are collectors items that would be a real stand out in your home. I love coming and just admiring all the stock. My favourites are the gold pocket watches as I always wander who owned them previously. They seem to carry so much history and are just gorgeous.

Friendly staff to boot - recommended for any Yarraville shopping excursion.
