The flowers are fantastic and all the information about them is on prime display so, if you are like us and know... nothing, it helps you decide where it can go and what it will look like when it flowers. Out of all of the things at this centre that I found helpful, this was the most helpful. Choice, the range of flowers was fantastic, I didn't expect quite so much. This is not like the other garden centres where you have to wade through cards, slippers, and crystal healing to find the plants... this one has the plants as its prime feature. Price - Fantastic prices, I could not believe that such well formed flowers were being offered at between £3.50 and £4.00! Maggie was on hand at helped us with how to get the most out of the plants when we get home and to keep the nice year on year - and that alone is worth its weight. When we were leaving we were looking at the boarders in the car park which had some of the flowers that were on sale in he garden centre and that helped us plan and decide on our own boarders and displaysread more
