Garden King on the outskirts of Newhall, on the road to the A444 is a garden centre that is…read morecelebrating its ten year anniversary. 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. All of the plants are reasonably priced and look well taken care of. The plants were brought are still alive and kicking. 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.

An enormous variety of goods ranging from souvenirs and neat gifts in the Gift Shop, all sorts of outdoor clothing - not just for in the garden but raincoats, casual gear for men and women and all the seasons, plants, turf, trees, fish, parrots, rabbits and more - and all your needs for your pets. Then organize day trips to a wide variety of places - and not to forget the REALLY good restaurant that does breakfast, lunch, afternoon teas (High Tea) and bargain dinners. Indeed today Mrs G and I had 2 two course dinners for 12 pounds ($16-17 for TWO!!). I had beef bourguignon, while Mrs G had a Quiche Lorraine with chips and peas/salad, and then I had apple pie with custard while she had lemon meringue pie. Served promptly in the clean and bright restaurant - we sat "outside" so that Ricky Martin could sit with us and share in a little with my beef :). Will we be back? Hell yeah!!! Review #44 2018

Chapmans Nurseries is a garden centre and Tea Rooms just outside the centre of Rosliston, opposite…read morethe Forestry Centre. Chapmans is the best garden centre in the local area; there is a good variety of plants, shrubs and trees, which are reasonably priced and very healthy. The tree section in particular has a wide variety of plants, more impressive than most bigger garden centres. The members of staff are cheerful and helpful, and genuinely understand about the plants they are selling, which is a novelty for a garden centre! It also sells mainly plants and plant related products, rather than the myriad of 'tat' that most garden centres sell. The Topiary Tea Rooms is set in a small wooden building, but has a beautiful outlook onto a sun-soaked patio where wild birds feed very relaxing. They only serve drinks and cakes, but I would definitely recommend the cheese scones. As the weather steadily improves, I would heartily recommend Chapmans as a place to go to rejuvenate your garden.

If ever their is a problem with any plants there is never an issue with exchange, which I never had. Kevin is top guy, as is all the staff and their knowledge of all plants is so very helpful. Whenever we visit we always come away with some plant regardless of size, and most important for us, a great cup of tea / coffee and a lush scone or cake all home baked. What can I add " Well done staff and management at Chapmans " You won't be disappointed.
