GR8 place to visit even if just for coffee and scones in the cafeteria. Plants and flowers are beautiful and the other gift ideas are plentiful. We missed the monkey's that were in the entry but still enjoyed our visit

Called in recently after taking a family member to a nearby hospital for a check-up. Had a take nice fry for breakfast and a leisurely walk about the Centre. Bought a couple of items and then left
It's always nice to walk about places like this. The only downside is that to visit most garden centres nowadays, you need a very healthy bank balance.

This is a beautiful nursery to visit. The layout is superb and very well presented.

The displays were well set up, and by the entrance.

There was a wide selection of small plants, shrubs and garden accessories as well as pots etc.

The BBQ and garden areas are well laid out and easy to spot the prices.

Entrance is open with someone on hand to deal with any queries.

Well signed so not hard to find what you are looking for.

Love this place and will definitely be back.

The garden centre is lovely but the food in the cafe today really wasn’t nice. We didn’t eat it. It was supposed to be “chicken and broccoli bake” but it was five pieces or boiled chicken and a few pieces of broccoli. There was no topping or “bake”. There was no sauce. It was sitting in clear water. It was bland at best. Tasted quite unpleasant.
The chips were frozen oven chips that you would have at home.
Prices are quite expensive too.

Good selection of indoor and outdoor plants, garden furniture and ornaments, compost and pots. There is also a gift section, including toys and books for children, Mrs Bridges jams and chutneys, cards and keyrings. Klass have a clothing concession and you can purchase pet supplies/accessories and barbeque equipment.

There is a good size café with indoor and outdoor seating, which provides scones and cakes as well as hot meals at lunchtime. All reasonably priced.

There is ample parking and there are toilets on site. Staff are always very helpful.

Café is a big open space and not very cosy. Didn’t notice any healthy options bar stew and soup. Garden centre isn’t as good as it used to be with the new Christmas layout. Expensive decorations too. This used to be a haunt for me but not anymore. Staff very helpful and friendly when we were looking for something specific - they went out of their way to assist.

It has a good well stocked supply of plants, as well as shrubs, trees fruit trees, and many other greenery.
It also stocks bags of top soil and compost, as well as farmyard manure.
There is also a fish supply within the premises, with a good stock of aquatic supplies.
It can be a wee bit pricey, but it does have some quality products.
Garden benches etc are also sold here, as well as other garden items.
