Pughs garden centre is the ideal place for all your gardening needs. The quality of their plants is…read moreexcellent, and they stock a wide variety of species. The staff are both knowledgeable and helpful. Attached to the garden centre they have a number of franchises, such as a pet centre, and more recently have opened a farm shop. At Christmas time this is certainly the place to come for your tree, I can never get over how many they have. An added attraction for me at Pughs, is the Bay Tree coffee shop, which serves the most delicious cakes.

Pugh's Garden Village in Radyr is a site that incorporates a number of stand-alone businesses…read morecovering gardening, pet care, aquatics, crafts, and a farm shop. Rather than try to do everything themselves, Pugh's - who themselves focus on being a specialist horticultural company - decided to bring in other complimentary businesses so that they could provide a wider offering at their site without losing their own focus. This resulted in the concept of the 'garden village' rather than simply a huge 'garden centre'. Pugh's Garden Centre is still the shop that dominates the Garden Village, however - offering all the usual plants and gardening accessories, with a clear seasonal focus. Then there's Ty Nant Farm Shop - a great place to pick up farmhouse-type foods, treats, and gift hampers. There's the Bay Tree Coffee Shop, serving breakfasts from 9am plus lunches and snacks throughout the day. And then there's PamPurred Pets, which as you'd expect specialises in foods and accessories for dogs, cats, birds and small animals. There's plenty to browse around on a rainy day, and the place attracts its fair share of oldies enjoying a good browse! The garden village is accessible from J32 of the M4, and the A470 Cardiff Valleys road and all suburbs in North Cardiff.

This is another big but fairly expensive garden centre that sells everything you'd expect, from…read moreplants, pots and garden ornaments to barbecue equipment, garden tools and furniture. This place stands out from the rest, however, for its range of miniature 'Show Gardens' where they offer ideas and inspiration for your own garden, including some interesting designs and layouts, use of a variety of materials, and different planting styles. I was also quite impressed by their range of plant pots, both for indoors and outdoors, which included more choice (in terms of colours, styles and materials) than many of their competitors. They're also good for trellis, patio furniture and garden tools. There's a section selling aquatics, another selling gifts (some of questionable style, in my view, but each to their own!), plus a cafe.

It also has a good range of garden furniture and ornaments, as well as water features which I must admit I would love to have in our garden. The pet shop is well stocked and I often visit there to stock up on supplies.

This is the place to go for plants if you live in or around Llantwit Major, not only because it's…read morenearby but also because they offer a comprehensive range of shrubs that can withstand being planted in windy and seaside locations - which is exactly what most gardeners need in this area of the Vale of Glamorgan. They know exactly what will and will not thrive in the local area, and can supply the ideal garden plants and shrubs for local conditions. Apart from selling said shrubs plus the usual plugs and hanging baskets, they also offer a full garden design service through the professional knowledge and expertise of Matthew Griffiths, for those who want to start from scratch or revamp their existing space. He will draw up plans, landscape your garden, and even organise maintenance on an ongoing basis if you really want to remain hands-off.

A truly enormous garden centre on the eastern outskirts of Cardiff, conveniently situated adjacent…read moreto junction 29 of the A48M where it meets the old A48 Newport Road. It's a popular shopping destination in its own right, and is actually part of the large UK-wide Wyevale chain. As well as an enormous range of plants, seeds, gardening tools and gardening supplies, it sells all sorts of gardening-related merchandise, such as garden buildings, garden furniture, pet supplies, books, ornaments, greeting cards, toys, clothing etc. Their prices aren't the cheapest, but it's all in one place and the quality is not bad (and it is getting very hard to find independent high-quality traditional nurseries, these days). Many of the staff are not that expert in the plants, though - certainly not compared with the horticultural or botanical expertise that resides in parts of the British gardening fraternity. That said, they always seem to be pretty friendly and willing to help, and the whole experience is rather less intimidating than it can be in some traditional nurseries. For those living in hope of a dry summer, there is an extensive range of barbecues and barbecue supplies. (Note: worth getting in stocks of charcoal, as there is always a run on supplies at the first sign of Bank Holiday sun). They also have a hire service for a very extensive range of garden and building machinery, if buying your own rotovator or mini-digger seems something of an indulgence. Perfect for the would-be 'Bob the Builder' (or 'Bob y Bildar'). There's a decent sized cafe, which is quite pleasant outside the week-end peak times, although there's no escaping the warehouse 'architecture'. It's very popular with pensioners during the week. At week-ends, the whole place is packed by families on an afternoon out, which makes for a slightly more stressful shopping experience. The centre has toilets and is designed to be accessible for wheel-chair users. The Wyevale website is quite interesting for the novice gardener, with a 'plant finder' facility, which tells you what you can grow in the soil and aspect of your garden.

Blooms is a massive garden centre that's easy to get to from either Cardiff or Newport, with…read morehelpful staff (though not all of them perhaps 'experts') and a huge array of plants, garden furniture and ornaments, and gardening tools and accessories. The centre is also home to a decent little book shop and a café, and it sells jewellery, clothes, pet-related products, farm-style foods and even fresh Welsh meat, jams and chutneys! Blooms even offer an equipment hire service, so you can hire garden and building machinery rather than go out and buy it if you only need it for a one-off occasion. Some of the stock can be a bit on the expensive side, but I think most big nurseries are the same, and at least you can browse around lots of different departments under one roof here.

I quite like it in the summer as you can walk round the grounds. Outside they also have a variety of plants, garden sheds and garden ornaments that you can buy. Inside there is a big choice of plants, gifts (especially at Christmas) and they have café which has seating in and outside. A few times we have been to the café and had a roast dinner which was lovely. At Christmas time the garden centre normally sells lots of decorations and has a Santa's grotto. The garden centre always looks really well looked after I'm not really into flowers but I still enjoy looking around there and my daughters do as well.
