went to smiths today!!!!!!!!!I had a great experience ,we needed to get some plants for the garden…read moreand we were really sucsessful today.I was really pleased with the experience today.There were thousands of plants in the garden centre,there were a lot in the inside area and an absolute abundance of plants outside.Also all plants were well kept and very watered,actually helped me keep cool in all this heat,they obviously take pride in each and every one of their plants.Also there is so much stock of everything(plants and non-plants).This has really pleased me as I've seen some garden centres which has hardly any plants and they are all neglected.However in this garden centre,they even have Christmas trees in June,but I suppose today(the day I wrote my review)is only 6 months till Christmas Eve!!!!!!!!!But I cannot see why you can't have a Christmas tree in June if you want to.I brought 3 small ones!!!!!!!!!Also I've been to garden centres in Christmas and they haven't had christmas trees.Also they were really well staffed as well,and our cashier was polite and even offered for someone to help us load the car.Also the smiths golf thing right at the back of the garden centre looks great and I'm sure will make a lot of money for the garden centre.Also their drive thru concept to collect soil was good and very well thought out,it's like a McDonald's drive thru but you show you're receipt to staff and then drive on to get the soil.Lovely experience!!!!!!!!

Smiths is a large garden centre just outside Uxbridge. There is a vast choice of greenery for sale…read morein a huge outdoor area, and also an indoor shopping area and cafe (not tried). It offers an extremely comprehensive range of products. Staff in the outside area can be hard to find but there are knowledgeable staff available if you need advice as I did when selecting a fruit tree for my garden. The level of customer service is high, I was surprised to discover that if you buy a heavy bag of fertiliser or compost it will be taken to your car on an electric carrier! So all in all a recommended place to go for garden supplies and products.

Garden center with lots of different plants!…read more It was a hot summer day and a good place to meet people. So peaceful. We ordered tea, cupcakes, brie sandwich and for me a lovely caramel sundae. The price for the ice cream was £3.50 and the size was huge. What you got for your money was so much more than I had expected. The restaurant is conveniently located off the main shopping area where you can get all sort of flowers and other plants, even a Jacuzzi for £9000, if you have the money to space. The garden dolls (dogs, cats, lambs etc are adorable). We placed ourselves conveniently on a table in the winter garden. It was too hot to sit outside on the terrace. Yes you heard right, too hot :-) There were open views onto the garden center back garden. If you are a local, this is an ideal place to spend a few hours and explore, especially when the sun is shining.

Oaktree's furniture showroom is very well stocked with a great variety of brands and styles …read more After 3 visits we finally decided on the garden furniture we wanted to buy. Johnny and Billy, both well informed salesmen, looked after us with Johnny doing the final price negotiations . The goods arrived within a few days, delivered by two charming men who unpacked and assembled everything to our satisfaction. They took all the packaging away for recycling . From start to finish we have enjoyed a first rate experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Oaktree and their staff.

There's a restaurant and there are often events run for children in the school holidays (birds of prey days, for example) and of course Santa comes to visit at Christmas. There's also a Food Shop with home-made cakes and pastries. There are always staff around who are happy to help you and gardening experts are available for advice on plants and growing conditions.
