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.

I have to admit that I am one of these annoying people who never seem able to find what they are looking for so now I just grab someone who knows - checking first that they do work there I hasten to add. There was one day when there is 10% discount for OAP's so 'Grab a Grannie' and go shopping. In my case it is 'Grab a Great Grandmother' as I am still not old enough to benefit. Ring first and find out which is the discount day or if they still do it but from memory I think it may have been Thursday.

This is not your usual gardening type shop as they do seem to stock different bits and pieces which I had no idea I needed until I saw them but not only that the quality of the plants sold are great. Not only is this a lovely shop but the staff are very friendly and most helpful. Don't just go by what I say pop in for a look and I would be very surprised if you leave without buying something. If you want to see what is happening in a nest in your garden they sell the camera here......now all I need is a bird who is not camera shy.

Sextons Garden centre is a modest wee shop in a line of shops, you go in, realise they are quite stuck for space - they must be, everything is orderly but crammed in there - then wander down to the back of the shop, then realise 3 years later you are still wandering. The back of the shop is HUGE, really, it opens out to an outdoor area offering all manner of fountains, shrubs, compost yada yada yada. They have just about anything you need for the garden - plants and hardware and from now on I shall be going here instead of Woodies.

My favourite item in store is the wall-mounted wine opener, which comes in at a pretty 139 euro (ouch, but once you see it no price is too great!) A good place for some Sunday shopping if you're of the inclination. They also have an Insomnia cafe attached for those who tire of their partner's browsing habits.
