Basically the Harrods of the Garden Centre world, this is probably the most exclusive garden centre of it's type in the Woodplumpton area. Barton Grange may have a farm shop but it certainly doesn't have the distinct aura that could only be found here at Ribblesdale. Marigolds were exceptionally colourful although slightly tasteless, but otherwise, 5 and a half stars. Big thanks to Hydrangea and all the team.

Brilliant place. Lovely fresh flowers and artificial flowers. Lovely young man willing to advise and help with your purchases. I had no clue what to buy but came out with some beautiful flowers for my pots. Highly recommend this place.

What a fantastic garden centre! It has a great selection of both indoor and outdoor plants, a gift and card shop area , a bargain corner , a lovely relaxing water area, a sleepy resident cat (Coco) and friendly dog (Kim)! The staff were very helpful and accommodating, our items were gift wrapped for free and to my surprise my 2 children were given a free gift which was such a lovely gesture. All in all a fabulous little find! We will certainly be visiting again soon!

It was very quiet when we visited (a Sunday lunchtime). It's delightful the nursery is coming back to life under new ownership. Friendly and helpful staff were on hand, and we were able to find everything we needed quickly and easily. Thank you!

Excellent place. Good quality plants and an owner who is obviously pleased to have your business and is a source of advice and help. Try getting that at B and Q The last time I asked someone about plants at B and Q they told me there is a worldwide shortage because of covid and Brexit and a ship stuck in the Suez Canal. I think he was about 16 and had just finished his paper round. Now the garden centre manager

Recently moved to the area and discovered this garden centre not far from where I live in Higher Bartle! What a little gem it is too and the staff were so helpful and informative on plants I was looking to buy. The bonus was the fantastic scarecrow sat outside the front, so my visitors from London were excited to check out how many we could find in the village. :-)
Will be returning for more compost and and plants!
