A well laid out Garden Centre with a good variety of plants. The cafe has taken on board the corona virus requirements and the tray bakes are delicious.

I ordered a hanging egg chair from this company which was delivered to Norfolk UK in less than a week. The chair itself looks lovely in the garden and is really comfortable and relaxing to sit in. I had a query after ordering this and had a quick helpful response straight away. I would definitely recommend this business as it is efficient friendly and helpful with great products.
