Everyone I talked to was hugely knowledgeable about the plants they sold, and were able to tell me which plants were appropriate for the different parts of our garden. There is a huge selection of garden statues, which my older son loves wandering through. Our family was very loyal to this place for Christmas trees--the selection was always vast and the trees were just gorgeous. Okay, so we paid a quid or two more than, say, Homebase, but to me it was worth it to see the trees (Homebase wraps theirs in netting) in all their glory, plus the trees just seemed nicer, greener, more hearty. This is a true gardener's nursery, don't come here if you're looking for the mountains of tat many nurseries have started to sell, but if you're looking for good quality and variety in your plants, please give this place a go.

The finished job was on-quote and finished within an excellent time-frame. The Polish guys who did the work did a fantastic job and you could see they really enjoyed working with a lovely product. The end result is exactly what we wanted and we now wish Tim and the Poles had done all the brickwork and roofing too. We would have no hesitation in having them back or referring them unreservedly to anyone else. Top job, nice attitude and good people who treated our home as they would their own. Thank you!

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.

Though the summer-long hosepipe ban which is already in force for the southeast of England may put a slight dampener (no pun intended!) on things Woodcote Green Nurseries are located a road along with a few other horticultural centres. However, they are the biggest and have a few more strings to their bow apart from the garden centre At this of year, I like to add some seasonal vegetables just for the year and perhaps plant a new fruit bush or tree which will yield a bountiful harvest over many years. Sometimes, some herb plants may need replacing after a harsh winter though it wasn't too bad a winter this time I also love to browse their aquarium area though I've discovered through experience that my doctoring skills sadly don't extend to my finned friends, so I now confine myself to looking at the fishes! They have a nice cafe with hot and cold food as well as cakes and drinks for a snack, hence catering for different types of meals. Edinburgh Woollen Mills have an area with clothing and there's a small book department too Like the start of a new football season, spring brings with it a season of hope and limitless opportunities in the garden!

There's plenty to browse here with temptations around every corner and in each nook and cranny, from basics and practical items for the house and garden to awe-inspiring plants, herbs, trees and pots to contain them.

The setting is lovely too, perfect for dreaming and idling away a beautiful British sunny day

Finally, I made a purchase But decided to also purchase 5 more . I wentt to the 'till' and was met by a 'frosty' person whom I asked if my choice would make good hedging plants. Reluctant, i received a poor attempt off an answer but still not put off i decided to proceed with my purchase. The person asked me to bring the 5 medium large plants to her to look at. I wasn' t sure what this meant but i didnt want to bring the plants to her, which were very near my car some 50 metres away, in case for whatever reason there was something wrong with them. So, i asked if we could go to look at the plants, but she refused in a defiant manner, saying, "i am the owner" to which i said "i am the customer!". Clearly, this had no meaning to her! You are right to assume that i left without making the additional purchases, never to return. There are quite a few garden centres around Ashtead, so i am shocked of her arrogant attitude.
