The staff was wonderfully helpful, offering a wide array of choices. I picked up plenty of potted plants, anticipating they'll flourish beautifully in the days ahead.

Excellent service from staff. Good range of products. Not very good for wheelchairs but we managed. Will certainly go again.

Kershaws is our local garden centre, I would love to go there more often but my OCD kicks in straight away when I walk through the doors. They need to have a massive decluttering, there is stuff everywhere, there is a room to the back which I don't know if things are for sale or if it's just storage waiting to be getting rid of. They have great activities for kids during school holiday and they have some nice flowers outside, we bought a bird feeder house from there a few weeks ago. It could be great but at the moment it's just ok.

A super little quirky Garden Centre that has a very good selection of products and plants. It also has a huge selection of Children's Retro Games and Toys. Worth a visit.
