Called to 'Kinsealy garden centre' this afternoon, November 21st 2017, to purchase some house plants. Not only is the place not dog friendly, (The female Owner/ Staff member) meeting me inside the door stating in the not most welcoming of tones.... 'You have to lift up your dog' or words to that effect. Obviously having a small dog on a leash in a garden centre is an issue for this lady. I had just arrived directly from Malahide garden centre and before that both 'Jones's garden centre in Donabate and also 'Tully's at 'Blake's Cross' where walking a well-behaved small dog on a leash posed no problem for the management. Not so at Kinsealy garden centre though. I wonder if they'd be as unwelcoming to Guide dogs, or other assistance dogs. Either way, any person wishing to avail of one of the two pre-assigned car parking areas directly outside the front door of this business better consider going elsewhere, as a male member of management/employee seems to think these two spaces are solely for his own parking... Parked his white 'Seat?' type vehicle across both 'Disabled' parking spots while I was there. Not dog-friendly, but much more importantly, not disabled-driver friendly. read more
