Hawgrip plant centre has to be the best value for money garden centres I have ever found, spring, summer Autumn and winter there is always plenty of choice. I tend to visit once a week as there is always new plants every week. There is friendly and welcoming staff who are knowledgeable if you need info too. Fantastic place. long may it continue.
