I looked everywhere for some reasonable priced but full hanging baskets last year and found them here. They were so much more better value than anywhere else I had tried. As well as the usual plants, shrubs and flowers, there is a gift area. The gifts are very pretty and range from baby items, wooden crafted items, cards, ceramics and jewellery. They are quite expensive, but if you are looking for something a bit different to the usual high street stores then you might find something here. There is also a fantastic cafe and the food is gorgeous, with things like home made soup or jacket potatoes on the menu. You get loads for your money and the home made cakes are worth popping in for alone! There is plenty of free parking in the car park outside and customer toilets too.

They sell loads of gifts, some quite unusual and not the sort of thing that is found in mainstream high street stores. The gifts are really pretty and interesting, examples are things like fairy collectables, wind chimes, dream catchers, unique style jewellery and handbags. It is a really small shop, but the staff are really great and leave you to browse freely without bothering you all the time and don't make you feel uneasy like in some stores. If you are looking for something a bit special or unusual for someone (although most of the gifts are aimed towards females), then try this shop as you will probably find something and the prices are pretty reasonable too. I was pleasantly surprised as was expecting the items to be much more expensive.
