Garden Centre busy, outside plants limited at the moment. Has a cafe, not used this time around. Lots of Christmas products available. Worth a visit. Went here after finding Irvine gardening centre closed.

Nice spot for a coffee and scone. Reasonable selection of plants - and fish - but a bit limited at this time of year. Shop is a mix of garden supplies and gifts.

Only really used the Cafe, which, like most garden centres these days, is the reason most folk go to them if we are all being honest. On the plus side, this place also does pond stuff.

Just me and the dog and both thoroughly enjoyed our outing. The cakes, the strawberry tarts in particular, were absolutely delicious. Plenty of water bowls out for the dogs and the staff were lovely. Will be back.
