We visited post Christmas as a mid drive break. Nice cafe with varied choice of snacks, cake and hot beverages. Nice to wander around.

Went here to the Poplar Nusery, as they've a kitchen improvement Company based in the nursery.
As it was just before Christmas and from what we saw the Christmas setting was exceptionally good, with lots of choice, both plants and Christmas lights, decorations for the tree, and other bits for Christmas, I have made my mind up that once spring arrives I will go back to have a really good look, as there is plenty of choice, I would recommend Poplar Nurseries.

I had reason to contact Poplar about a problem about a Christmas tree we bought last year. . Expecting to be given some advice as to how to fix my problem and not a replacement, I was greeted by extremely helpful staff who advised me to send photos and evidence of purchase; the upshot of which is the company is replacing my tree, which I did not expect. Thank you to Julian who was extremely helpful and communicative and enabled a very quick resolution to my problem . This is customer service at its very best.

We used to visit this garden centre a lot when my daughter was just a toddler - the main attraction for children is the little train that offers rides (£2 a person). There is also a little playground with a slide and swings right next to the little railway. This time we visited during half term for lunch in the café which offers plenty of tables. We ordered kids lunch, a cappuccino and a vegan chocolate cake (so delicious). The choice of cakes is amazing, the food is good if overpriced (I was eyeing the mixed grain salad with avocado on the menu but found £9.99 a bit steep so didn't order).
