Probably imported from abroad . We have had no reply to our emails to the Garden centre. Do not make the same mistake as us and buy a tortoise from this shop .There is a very good chance it will have been mistreated and sadly is likely to share the same fate as ours.

Went to the ice cafe onsite, ordered some food and it was put onto a hot metal plate (no warning about it being hot) and my wife burnt her fingers picking up the food from this. Overall food was pretty poor quality and only after we paid we were told we would have to wait for one of the mains. This main didn't come until after I finished one and we had to chase them for it. Food+drink were very overpriced as well. For the shopping side of Whitehall, it's very overpriced.

They also do pre-planted baskets and pots all year and their indoor Christmas pots were beautiful and put a smile on all my family's faces. They also sell bulbs at the perfect time for planting and their half price pot collection cannot be beaten on variety or price anywhere, incredible display for a bargain price

Now I have crossed over into my 30s I feel drawn to Sunday's shopping at garden centres and looking…read moreat homeware options....as nurseries go this has l to be a five star experience. There were some hardcore Sunday shoppers here and rightly so this place is beautiful. Full on country side vibe with every possible flower and shrub imaginable! I got my trolley and causally stilled around the centre settling on buying some sunflowers and other really hard to pronounce types of flowers for my mom and dads front garden. I have no idea who named some of these varieties of flowers....but they went innnnn...I won't lie a lot of them I couldn't pronounce but I gave it a good go..with varying results.... The flowers here are super cheap too the sunflowers were like 1.50 each and most pots are below £3...bargains galore!! The only thing to note is the tills are busy...people are flocking for a wide for those bargain blooms so set out an afternoon for this trip it's definitely going to take you a a few to see everything and pay....but that's the vibe surely...loved it.

A little off the beaten track but well worth a visit. Originally stopped here for a coffee but the…read morerange of fresh food on offer meant I decided to have lunch here. The tarragon chicken and rhubarb and red currant crumble with Earl Grey ice cream were delicious and the cost very reasonable. I dined outside to make the most of the sunshine and surroundings. A quick tour of the walled garden, where the cafe is sited, revealed that most of the ingredients I had eaten were sourced only a few yards away. Fruits growing in the garden included apple, pear, raspberries, blackcurrants, apricots and kiwi fruit and I'll definitely be making a return visit here. A real hidden gem

Not overly impressed except the café was bigger than others I have been to. It is part of Birdworld and Garden Style a place where the professionals go by the look of it.

After waiting a while we were advised that they had sold out and our order could not be completed. There was no information as to whether it could be completed if at all! Obviously disappointed I find that we had traveled unnecessarily at a cost to us and as pensioners it was a cost we could ill afford. Obviously ordering on line is not reliable, and an altogether nasty experience. Date of experience: 29 April 2024

Superb garden centre that's sure to cater for your every need…read more This place is HUGE a look at the car park, overflow carpark and overflow overflow car park will give you some idea just how HUGE! The plant selection here is excellent. Houseplants, shrubs, bedding plants, trees, you name it, they'll have it. Plants are always in excellent condition and they're very reasonably priced. Staff are friendly and knowledgable about the plants they sell. There's an excellent florists and you can order some fantastic bouquets or make up your own with their extensive cut flower selection. A huge range of stoneware, soils, barks and stones are available and this place is so popular it even has a drive through compost run to allow you to pick up your compost without having to park. Outbuilding, pool and pet concessions exist. There's a good range of gardening attire and gift ware. A good range of toys and gifts complete the set up. There's a cafe here with limited outdoor seating in addition to a large indoor area. There are always plenty of trolleys of varying sizes but do expect the place to be VERY VERY BUSY! Recommended.
