Percy Thrower was a well known BBC gardener, he helped on Blue Peter and has writren several books. The Garden centre in Oteley Road on the outskirts of Shrewsbury has plenty of parking but sadly the family connection has been terminated by a company called Garden and Leisure.
The last time I went was to visit the fabulous craft centre, but I had to buy a plant too as there stock is wonderful. A huge selection of all sorts of plants and people who can help. From small seedlings to large trees. Flower pots and all equipment is also on sale.
Designer type of wellies and jumpers and fleeces are on sale and so many other things that you now find in a garden centre, like candles and ornaments.
You can have a coffee or a light snack at the restaurant and large groups can be catered for in advance. read more
