I like the layout and the product displays, it is a pleasure to meander around. There is an excellent range of plants, always healthy as they are also a nursery. There is a wide range of gifts both ornamental and useful gardening gifts, books, garden sundries, bird feeders & some clothing. There are some really good value offers. At Christmas they have an array of products from trees to festive napkins and in the summer a wonderful diplay of furniture, BBQs and accessories. The coffee shop does breakfast, lunch & teas but can get busy. The staff are friendly & more than helpful. There is a wonderful walk in the grounds, a little map is provided. Plenty of parking. A building section with sheds & summer houses is on site and they also do landscaping & garden maintenance but I have never used these services.

The garden centre itself does not come across as being that friendly, there are signs everywhere - no dogs, no cycles in the garden centre (who would ride their bike through there), children should be well supervised, no climbing on the fence, etc etc. I did not find the service that friendly in the shop to be honest. However, all that aside if you fancy a little trip out to the country for a nice cup of coffee and a wander through the plants then it's worth a visit. It doesn't get five stars as they could improve their over all service in the garden centre - the coffee shop is very lovely and welcoming.

Situated in a large log cabin style building, the staff were friendly and the coffee and cake extremely tasty. The garden centre itself looked to be well stocked, even though it was late December, and a rare example of one that focuses more on plants than expensive gadgets and candles! A good find.

There is a little café in the grounds where you are able to sit out on a fine day serving some nice food. I have bought pre-planted pots for presents and bird seed and nuts for our garden birds.

The plants are of superb quality and generally of a good size compared to other nurseries charging similar prices. Additionally, the staff are exceptionally approachable and knowlegeable and are quite happy to take the time and trouble to find out the answers to your questions if they don't know off the top of their heads. As regards Christmas trees, I'm a bit of a tree snob and it has to be real for me! Quite honestly, I can't imagine buying my tree anywhere else - I've looked elsewhere and ended up coming back here a few times, so this year I'm going to save myself time and effort and just stick to this place.

The staff are really knowledgable so if like me you are a bit useless when it comes to plants they will help you to locate what you need and tell you whether it should be in light or shade etc! the prices are about average, but it is nice to buy from a firm which is not a large chain! There is loads of free parking on site, and if you buy heavy stuff they will carry it to your car and help you load it in.
