Services
Bird Feeders & Feeding Stations
Report
We have a huge variety of bird feeders and feeding stations available in store. We have some that are specific to the food they hold and we also have some all in one feeders. There are many reasons why having bird feeders within your garden can be beneficial. The main reason why many people like having these feeders and feeding stations is because they enjoy seeing the birds.
Bird Seeds & Treats
Report
We have a large variety of seeds and peanuts all year round so you can keep all kind of wild birds fed. We also have a wide variety of bird treats available if you feel like treating the birds to something other than seeds. These treats are usually packed with nutriunts so this makes them great treats for the birds.
Bird Tables & Bird Houses
Report
We have a beautiful range of high quality, well built bird tables available in store now. The Tom Chambers bird tables have all been handcrafted and many of these feature a genuine hand cut slate roof. This is guaranteed to make a great focal point to your garden. The natural food supply is usually lowest in winter and spring, so this is when the garden birds will reap the most benefits from food being left on your bird table.
Frozen Animal Food
Report
Our frozen meat blocks are great source of nutrients for dogs and they are most importantly made with quality fresh ingredients. All of the ingredients are 100% natural, contain no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives or offal. As our meat blocks are frozen that makes them perfect for storing over long periods without having to compromise on the flavor or nutrition.
Fish Food
Report
We stock a large range of foods to cater for most if not all fish and their eating habits, as well as the time of year. We stock 3 main brands, Tetra, NishiKoi and MediKoi. Wheatgerm is ideal for autumn feeding before fish cease feeding and also spring feeding when they come out of their winter fast.

Had a wide variety of plants and products. I wish they had trolleys though as I bought quite a lot of plants but had to keep putting them into really small baskets so that isn't ideal. Will keep visiting though as reasonably priced too. Would recommend.

Fantastic! A garden centre for gardeners. No tea rooms or acres of non gardening related "stuff". Good quality plants and garden products for the amateur and more more professional gardener.

Not the most enjoyable experience for lunch in a garden centre.
We needed to call over staff to order as our table showed that we had ordered food.
One dish came up as requested, the 2nd was sent back to be toasted as ordered.
We didn't have any cutlery so requested that too.
However, one of the waitresses was very responsive, she sorted all and then deducted my sandwich which was appreciated.
Cheese and onion sandwich thick slices of raw onion, catering cheese as no flavour. Chicken bacon and mayonnaise apparently no flavour and cardboard like texture. Disappointing.
We would add that both

Lots of stock of all you could possibly need and all reasonably priced. Staff very helpful too. If item is too big for your vehicle they offer a delivery service. £2 for local area to Downham Market.
