Reviews
Pulling into the car park there were 3 people who pulled in front of us as we were trying to park but we eventually found a spot. By the time we got into the centre we were running late for the pumpkin picking event. However the staff were lovely, understanding and helpful. I did expect to be picking pumpkins off the vines themselves tbh but I've never attended a pumpkin picking event before. The kids did enjoy they activities and sitting on the tractor and wagon too. A few of the little gourds were broken so they couldn't play the gourd and spoon race but they enjoyed the rest of the activities and had fun. Lots of different sized pumpkins for everyone. The scary tunnel was fun and the displays were awesome. We liked the scarecrows made by local school children and voting for them too. Only thing I might add for next year is maybe a petting zoo for the kids as my children were excited to see a sheep over the fence. It would definitely be the icing on the cake but overall we enjoyed the whole event. Definitely reasonably priced too.
An excellent garden centre. The plants look extremely healthy and are reasonably priced. The whole place is very disabled friendly Plenty of space and nice level floor. they even have some wheelchairs available. The cafe is really good. Definitely recommend this Nursery
Visited today to take advantage of the carvery in their restaurant. The meal was very nice and excellent value for money. The restaurant is kept clean and tidy. In addition to the carvery (Thurs & Sunday) other meals, sandwiches and cakes are always available. This independent garden centre still concentrates on gardening products and plants rather than gifts and clothing outlets. They have a very good range of plants and gardening tools available. We have purchased plants from here in the past and they are always high quality, healthy plants. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
Took 3of our grandchildren to the pumpkin festival here today.. we were very impressed. £4 admission.. which includes all the outdoor activities and an indoor spooky trail ( pumpkins extra to purchase) all the boys (12..9..8..) thought it was great fun.. then went for food in the café afterwards.
