Visited Clockhouse Nursery today and randomly sought the advice of 'Sebastian'. Incredibly helpful & knowledgeable person - nothing was too much trouble - excellent service - unlike other garden centres where it was like talking to a brick! Will definitely return! Thank-you.

Three times i have been here in the last few months or so, now i understand we have hot weather, but is there any reason other than laziness that nearly every plant in the outside part of this place is looking ready for death... soil dry and cracking, leaves falling off. total shambles...

I always make time for a visit here when I have a break. Plants were a bit scarce but as usual a lovely drive up to Enfield. This is a beautiful place to go and buy plants.

Very disappointed with post sale customer care. Rude staff, patronising and unhelpful. A deciduous plant did not do well and died: most standard nursery would have the decency to acknowledge the concern and address the issue. We were told that our poor after care killed the plant. The manager was rude, patronising and extremely unhelpful. I have returned to buy more plants and flowers from the nursery and there was no goodwill. In spite of explaining that 14.99 was not going to an issue but the lack of common courtesy and good customer care was appalling. Just very poor attitude and behaviour

Went in for shrubs and bedding plants. These guys know their plants. They don't do silly 'plastic tut' like other garden centre. They do good quality plants and treat customers with respect and care.. Will go back and thank you Clockhouse team..
