I'm not the biggest gardening guru, so I can't provide the expert's opinion of Gardenworks as a…read moregardening centre. However from the point of view of a mere human, Gardenworks is a rather impressive establishment. For starters, it's massive. Beautiful exterior, airy interior, chock full of garden and household goodies, and large nursery section out the back. I was quite impressed that they have a food and wine section (?!?) with a great variety of snacky, gourmet eats. They also have a fairly sizeable section for dog owners... sweet! Gardenworks is a great place to visit if you're planning a complete garden revamp, or simply if you want to grab some hip and happening utensils for your next barbecue. They also have an impressive (read: expensive) selection of outdoor furniture, some of which really took my fancy. The best thing is on Sundays (every 2nd I think) they have a BBQ - so bring the whole family along. And for those single girls out there - there's a bit of eye candy on offer here, if you like the strong, muscly type...

Well worth a visit. Very friendly staff who know their stuff and are willing to help. Large…read more selection of plants which are healthy and the prices are very competitive.

It probably has the coolest version of the chain coffee shop Insomnia that I have seen, it's in a thatched house. My friend laughed at my awe and thought it was tacky but he's a fool anyhow - it's in a thatched house people, that's like McDonalds in a mosque. I'm not a plant person but I want to be so I started small and got some purple daisy looking things for 99c, they are probably weeds but pretty weeds. I saw a baby Christmas tree there too for €45 which seems steep to me, but then this whole plant thing is a whole new world to me. I think I will get it.
