What our customers say

"Friendly staff, gorgeous plants. A really good selection of indoor and alpine plants. Great gifts too! Highly recommended."

Jennifer L.

Google review

"All the lovely things you expect from a garden centre - plants obviously but a large array of everything you need including garden accessories, lovely kids section of garden tools, wellies, jams, pickles and lovely greetings cards - the list goes on. The jewel in the crown is their cafe. Love, love, love this place."
