I love to go at Christmas especially as they have about a million trees decorated and it really gets you in the mood. They sell whole range of christmas decorations at reasonable prices. The cafe is good value but usually very busy. They do everything from tea and a cake to Sausage and chips. Don't forget to visit Joshua's farm shop across the road which is lovely too.

The Otter Nurseries site occupies at least 100 acres including the growing area where at least a…read moremillion plants are grown each year so if you don't like 'BIG' this is not the place for you. However most people love the variety, and we are talking socks to sculpture and tea pots to tea roses. You need half a day to see it all. Two hours before lunch, which you should take in the very efficient restaurant of course, and an hour after will do you nicely. Great grub to eat and your order appears very quickly, probably due to the busy supervisor who is always checking things are going well. Very refreshing to see someone doing their job properly ! To describe the garden section as 'comprehensive' does not do justice. There seems to be such variety in everything from plants to ponds that most gardeners would surely find anything they needed. Easy free parking, disabled access, most presentations are under cover, staff knowledgeable and helpful. We have watched this business grow for twenty five years and the superb presentation and facilities now are the result of some excellent business decisions by the owner manager who is frequently seen chatting to staff and customers. Congratulations.

This branch of St Bridget Nurseries can be found just before Westpoint at Clyst St Mary…read more There is a large free car park, and is disabled friendly with ramps for ease of access. There is a large indoor area with all sorts of gardening equipment, plants and seeds. There is everything from bird feeders to garden gnomes. St Bridgets also sell koi and other pond fish. Outside there are more plants, ornaments and accesssories. A very big bonus especially for children is the large koi pond area which is fenced off and children must be supervised but it does have a large viewing platform where children can get to appreciate these wonderful fish. There is also an area which is specifically for gravel and stones, pots and containers and pre made garden ponds. St Bridgets stock most varieties of fish food. I have found their staff always very helpful, with various 'experts' in different fields. There is also a lovely cafe on site.

I highly recommend the nursery and now my friends and children also use it.

Trelawney is a big garden centre located in Ashford. Outside the garden centre there is a pond that…read morealways has really well fed looking fish and there is a little park for your children to play in. I quite like it in the summer as you can walk round the grounds. Outside they also have a variety of plants, garden sheds and garden ornaments that you can buy. Inside there is a big choice of plants, gifts (especially at Christmas) and they have café which has seating in and outside. A few times we have been to the café and had a roast dinner which was lovely. At Christmas time the garden centre normally sells lots of decorations and has a Santa's grotto. The garden centre always looks really well looked after I'm not really into flowers but I still enjoy looking around there and my daughters do as well.

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.

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
