Have used this garden centre for the last 4 years with no problem. This year bought 12 bags of compost and for some reason a fungus started to grow in the compost and the seeds and plants we planted would not grow.
Contacted the garden centre who said they would contact the rep and get back to me, two weeks passed with no contact. Rang them numerous times to no avail. Then a lady called Kate took my call and basically said there was nothing they were going to do, she was very unhelpful with no sympathy for our plight despite us spending nearly 100 on compost. You can always judge the merits

Brilliant garden place discovered this hidden gem the other week. The flowers all look well cared for and are displayed beautifully. Also the roses smell heavenly the best smelling roses I have ever smelt. They also sell many other garden items such as spades, gloves, seeds, pets etc. I especially love the metal garden sculptures and concrete statues they sell very unusual and arty. the prices for everything is also well priced. Staff are very happy, friendly and extremely helpful.
