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. I recently purchased some top soil to level off a patchy uneven garden. I called Mike to ask advice on what type of soil I needed,he was very helpful, offering advice on the best type of soil and how to apply.Fantastic quality soil,could not be faulted,there were no foreign bodies, stones or any sign of weeds etc Would definitely consider for future use!

I lost count how often I drove past this Nursery and just because it's a tiny entrance I never…read moreconsidered going there (well, plus the fact that I live in an apartment without balcony, so it's not often that I need plants). Bad mistake. This time I needed a nice plant as a present so seeing they are basically on my doorstep I drove in - what a surprise. It's actually a quite big nursery with a rather big car park too. Looking to find the best suitable plant for my friend I looked at almost all plants on display. And they all looked great with good prices. Together with pots and other gardening related items it's definitely now a place on my map. The staff was very nice and obviously enjoyed working there.

It's my first port of call when looking for quality plants in spring time and has a huge selection of bedding plants. Currently going through renovations which may mean limited stocks but it'll only mean better things to come for shoppers in the spring and summer ahead.

I was horrified this morn, half way through September, to hear an ad on the radio for Christmas…read moreparties... the first Christmas ad of the season... good god, where did that last year go? Anyway as I mulled over all things festive I happened to be on Sandymount avenue and there are the gates to Enable Ireland and their great little garden centre where I have gotten our Christmas tree for the last 4 years. I wander in, and realise that there is more here than trees and plants; they have garden tools and pellets, compost and oddly enough a selection of posters saying things like you 'don't have to be crazy to work here' yada yada yada. They also have a display of Ballydongan pottery (nope, never heard of it either) jolly nice as it happens. The garden centre is part on Enable Ireland so when you shop there you are not only getting some very nice greenery (or dodgy plaques/posters) but your cash is doing some extra good.... which is nice.

...and one day i found myself really getting into the gardening thing…read more.. but alas, i needed supplies. SUPPLIES!!! and my searches all ended up in tiny TINY little places where i had to dig underneath things to find other things and generally didn't find many things i needed at all. so imagine my thrill at finding Avenue Garden Centre. not only is it larger than a cupboard, they have loads of things. they have an entire area dedicated to ginormous bags of compost. another area just for pots. short of flying back to the america and going to home depot, it's the best garden store i've found within throwing distance of city centre. yes, i'm sure there are more magical places out in the burbs, but please people, i don't have a car and i don't fancy hauling 50kg bags of compost around on the LUAS. i'm sure you can understand. i was able to get there on DART, find the things i needed (and then some) and hail a nice lady cabbie (i know, right?) to get it all back to the house for me. luckily, i also had Husband with me to do the heavy lifting. oh i should also mention that the staff was also extremely helpful and friendly. i didn't feel like a complete retard asking them for help. that's a bonus in my book :)

I really enjoyed visiting this place and getting a few things for back home. The florals and plants…read morehere are amazing and well cared for. It's the perfect place for a Sunday relax day which we were doing. We had a little snack in the cafe as well before leaving and they have a nice selection of foods and desserts. I am however completely obsessed with this giant head statue they have and I wanted it so bad but I'm pretty sure it would be too large to ship to the states. Would look perfect in our back yard so if anyone knows where I can find this statue in the U.S. please message me and let me know lol!

I was torn between giving this a 3 or a 4 star rating. In actual fact I would give the garden…read morecentre and shop a 5 star review. We always make an afternoon of a visit over here to include stocking up on the garden bits and a few odds and ends for the house. We have always had excellent advice from the staff a the prices while not the cheapest are reasonable and the quality of the plants is always top drawer. So why the docking of two stars? The restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the food itself is actually very good both in terms of quality and the selection they have available. However, on two occasions now I have been told I can't have a roast beef sandwich because 'they can't do that'. Why not? You have bread, you have beef! 'Yes, well you see we don't do that.' I've asked 3 times and got one once - it was delicious but I take exception to petty jobsworths and so dock the points.
