Fantastic place! A real local gem with plants at a fair price. The owner always has time to give his advice and knowledge. Exactly how a proper garden centre should be.

If I could give 0 stars I would do. I purchased a plant online almost two months ago, emailed twice and then was forced to make a claim via PayPal to get my money back from this "legitimate" garden centre. Do not bother to order anything from them because they lack in basic customer care and common decency. The post COVID situation will be tough on companies so it is rather amusing to me this one seems to show their true colours when given almost two months to come up with an excuse or the goods and not bothering to do so.

I have been buying from this Garden Centre for years. It is one of the most beautifully kept nurseries around and a pleasure to visit. The plants are well grown, very healthy and extremely good value. There is always a good selection available.Staff are always friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I could happily spend a fortune here buying everything for the garden.... Highly recommended.
