Favourite independent small garden centre, good prices, cafe not yet reopening until March/April we were advised. Loyalty card scheme excellent, you don't have to pay for loyalty card & Alban Hill send you accumulated money off vouchers yearly relating to or depending on how much you may have spent during last 12 months. Good choice of plants & garden accessories.

Always welcoming and helpful, it was pots I wanted today and they really do have a great selection to choose from. Good quality plants too, easy parking and good value for money. And great choice when it comes to bird feeders and food .

It's the second year in a row we've been to Alban Hill for our Christmas tree. The staff are so lovely and helpful. They are happy for you to take your time to choose the right tree, give advice and help you get it in your car. I wouldn't go anywhere else now! Thank you!
