I popped in today and it's just getting more expensive. I do think they need to consider their pricing. The food section could be more stocked. Cafe is really good this gets gets firm 4 stars. The rest just brings it down. Sorry

Excellent garden centre to visit with huge range of plants, shrubs and trees plus range of gifts. As one visitor said you come here having got mortgages if you buy everything you want! As well as buying plants we had lunch in cafe and enjoyed that. We recommend this place.

The fabulous flower beds at Beethams Growing Nursery July 2021. Worth a visit to get ideas for your own garden. The staff are very helpful to identify plants for you in the flower beds.
