Cottage Garden Nursery

I have been using this garden centre for the last 5 years now and it has never disappointed. Although it is not huge, I have always found what I have been looking for. The plants/flowers are always healthy and the prices are among the best in the area. I mainly stick to well known plants/shrubs/flowers, which I know grow well, and have always been able to find a good variety of colours/sizes available. I have never had a plant which hasn't survived either! The staff are very helpful and also very knowledgable when giving advice. Too often other garden centres just give you a book when you ask a question, but here they have given me advice of rose cuttings, plant care and how to feed different types of plants. The garden equipment is also very cheap. I bought some fence post top hanging basket brackets and they were the cheapest I found and excellent quality. I would thoroughly recommend this place. And there is an added bonus, they're dog friendly too! :-)

This garden centre is a gem set on an island squashed between Prince Avenue and the A127 opposite Tesco. It is a family owned and run business. Each family or staff member has over 20 years of experience and knowledge. It is not huge and does not have a cafe! but it makes up for this in using every available space, price, friendliness and service. Give it a go....there is a reason why it's many regulars have been going back for over 20 years too! The Christmas trees are good value and the spring/summer hanging baskets are a sight to behold. You will also go back because, if you ask advice, they will not sell you rubbish or something that will not grow in your available space!
