A very popular place... Lovely location. Car parking is good. Plants in abundance. Hidden in a corner are the pond plants not much to choose from a shame. (which was why I popped in). Little craft shops and a fab food store and cafe....

Good garden centre. Like the model village although it needs a lot of work. The model trains were running which was great. Good range of products and some nice arts and crafts shops.
