This has got to be the future for garden centres in cities: smart locally-based boutique garden…read moreshops. I can't be doing with hacking around these mega-gardening centres that have now been completely homogenised and stripped of all character. This quirky little shop has a huge range of stuff and the owner is keen to accommodate any individual requests. He will even deliver locally. Thoroughly recommended.

A great place to buy flowers, they really know their stuff here. They have a realatively small…read moreselction, but everything is fresh and well chosen. The bouquets are all stunning, but they also make up bouquets on request. Just tell them what you'd like in there, or give them some information on the occassion/recipient and they'll make up a beautiful display. They have a a knack for arranging flowers in a modern, fresh way which just lloks amazing. It is quite expensive, but I find the results are worth it as they look so much better than most of the other florists around and so unique.

With florist shops in the famous Covered Market, and in Headington, The Garden of Oxford is well placed to deliver beautiful flowers in Oxford and throughout the surrounding area. We are also able to arrange national and international deliveries using our courier service and the e-florist relay network.

I think it is disgraceful that there isn't a normal phone number. If they want to sell things they…read moreshould have a non-premium rate number for me to be able to ring to see if they have an item in stock. This is no way to encourage customers.

Small garden centre just off the A34 (you take the turn off for Hinksey). They have the normal…read moregarden centre stuff including plants and scarves (?). They also have a small tropical fish section and an outdoor pond section. The outdoor pond section had nicer plants at a cheaper price than Yarnton Nurseries and a very helpful assistant - which is why it gets 4 stars from me.

A garden centre with lots of added extras. There is a cafe (with a little play area for very small…read morechildren). There is a branch of "the Works" selling books and stationary. There is a branch of Cotton Traders and a picture framers. There is a great shop called eco-street which has lots of different styles of low energy light bulb wind-up radios and wind-up torches. They even have a wind-up front bike light which was going to be the invention that made my fortune since I'd looked all over the place for them. I'm now going to have to invent a wind-up rear light in order to make my fortune since for some reason they don't stock the back lights. They also refill Ecover washing up liquid and cleaning stuff and have bigger stuff such as photovoltic cells if you are thinking of going seriously green. And then there are the fish and reptiles. All parents of young children know that to have a cheap afternoon out on a rainy winter's day you go to somewhere that sells fish. This place has a Shirley Aquatics concession that sells beautifully displayed tropical fish and live corals. They also sell reptiles and stick insects. And sometimes they'll get the snakes out and let you stroke them. They do stock boring, grown-up things like hot tubs, swimming pools, garden sheds and even plants. And useful things like mouse traps. But lots of people go just to potter around and enjoy ourselves and it is a great place for doing just that.

My children love looking at the freshwater and tropical fish and seeing the rabbits and guineas in the pet store. There is also an excellent antiques centre run by sally and michael. The cafe does lovely food and there is a small inside play area so the kids can play safe whilst you enjoy your latte.
