This was our first visit. Very impressed with the layout and the range of gardening items from shingles, flowers pots, loads of different plants, fencing materials and garden ornaments and bird boxes and baths. Also a nice selection of gift like items, cards, wrapping paper etc. We bought 3 different pickles/chutneys as they are hard to find in supermarkets. Will definitely visit again
Came across this lovely cafe en route to Bournemouth . Had a lovely fish finger sandwich ( with popcorn and coleslaw) and a pot of tea with a dainty china cup! We also had soup and the flower pot roll! Excellent too.. and finally the tuna sandwich 🥪. Will definitely return. All 3 of us enjoyed our lunch!
Many people who visited this place commented upon a stuffed owl which is placed near to the entrance.We asked a member of staff at the till a question and she was very helpful about it.The rose display was lovely and colourful.

A little gem! Found exactly what we were looking for with a little help from the friendly and knowledgeable staff. We will definitely return to see what else this charming garden centre has to offer.
First visit to this garden centre.Plenty of parking and signage at the entrance. Garden centre itself was almost deserted but a really good selection of plants and pots.The coffee shop was very busy with lots of people having lunch. There was indoor and outdoor seating.Service was efficient and friendly. Good choice of food on breakfast and lunch menus. Randomly sandwiches were served with a side of popcorn!Worth a visit for plants and food.
