There were some hardcore Sunday shoppers here and rightly so this place is beautiful. Full on country side vibe with every possible flower and shrub imaginable! I got my trolley and causally stilled around the centre settling on buying some sunflowers and other really hard to pronounce types of flowers for my mom and dads front garden. I have no idea who named some of these varieties of flowers....but they went innnnn...I won't lie a lot of them I couldn't pronounce but I gave it a good go..with varying results.... The flowers here are super cheap too the sunflowers were like 1.50 each and most pots are below £3...bargains galore!! The only thing to note is the tills are busy...people are flocking for a wide for those bargain blooms so set out an afternoon for this trip it's definitely going to take you a a few to see everything and pay....but that's the vibe surely...loved it.

Chapmans Nurseries is a garden centre and Tea Rooms just outside the centre of Rosliston, opposite…read morethe Forestry Centre. Chapmans is the best garden centre in the local area; there is a good variety of plants, shrubs and trees, which are reasonably priced and very healthy. The tree section in particular has a wide variety of plants, more impressive than most bigger garden centres. The members of staff are cheerful and helpful, and genuinely understand about the plants they are selling, which is a novelty for a garden centre! It also sells mainly plants and plant related products, rather than the myriad of 'tat' that most garden centres sell. The Topiary Tea Rooms is set in a small wooden building, but has a beautiful outlook onto a sun-soaked patio where wild birds feed very relaxing. They only serve drinks and cakes, but I would definitely recommend the cheese scones. As the weather steadily improves, I would heartily recommend Chapmans as a place to go to rejuvenate your garden.

What can I add " Well done staff and management at Chapmans " You won't be disappointed.

An enormous variety of goods ranging from souvenirs and neat gifts in the Gift Shop, all sorts of outdoor clothing - not just for in the garden but raincoats, casual gear for men and women and all the seasons, plants, turf, trees, fish, parrots, rabbits and more - and all your needs for your pets. Then organize day trips to a wide variety of places - and not to forget the REALLY good restaurant that does breakfast, lunch, afternoon teas (High Tea) and bargain dinners. Indeed today Mrs G and I had 2 two course dinners for 12 pounds ($16-17 for TWO!!). I had beef bourguignon, while Mrs G had a Quiche Lorraine with chips and peas/salad, and then I had apple pie with custard while she had lemon meringue pie. Served promptly in the clean and bright restaurant - we sat "outside" so that Ricky Martin could sit with us and share in a little with my beef :). Will we be back? Hell yeah!!! Review #44 2018

Garden King on the outskirts of Newhall, on the road to the A444 is a garden centre that is…read morecelebrating its ten year anniversary. An expansive car park opens onto an outdoor area selling compost, which leads into the main entrance where the tills and advice desks are located. This area also has an impressive range of bird food and feeders, as well as an expansive range of seeds and plant food. The main outdoor area is partially covered, with plants that are both reasonably priced and healthy, which cannot be said for all garden centres. There is also quite a variety of specimens, considering the size of the garden centre. At the rear of the main plant area is a sizeable aquatics shop, where you can buy fish, aquatic plants, pond liners etc. Garden King also has a small tearooms/restaurant that sells hot drinks, light bites, as well as hot dinners. It also sells Vancouver Oak Furniture, as well as other assorted items for the home, i.e. mirrors, lamps etc. One last thing you must look out for as you enter the car park are the rather large signs, that have obviously been designed as a homage to Sid James in the Carry-on films!

The staff were really helpful and give us superb advice about plants and even helped us choose what we needed for our garden, they also gave advice of how to plant and where to situate them. All of the plants are reasonably priced and look well taken care of. The plants were brought are still alive and kicking. This is well worth a visit even if its just for an hour out, the centre itself has a couple of inside greenhouses and outside sections. The car park is quite small but adequate for the centre.

This is the first time I have been to the Grange Farm Christmas Barn (open from 1st December 2012),…read moreoperated by the owners of The Langton Brewery based at Thorpe Langton, Market Harborough, Leicestershire. Being a bit fussy with a desire for a large tree with a root, to allow us to plant out after Christmas, I couldn't immediately find exactly what tree I wanted so Jim (the owner) suggested that I come back a bit later when it was quieter and he would cut me a selection of trees fresh from the field. Later that afternoon we were fortunate to be able to go into the field with Jim and his 'elves' to choose our very own Christmas tree my only advice would be to consider the height of the root plus the tree itself as we slightly overestimated the height of our lounge ceiling! Whilst there my five year old son took advantage of seeing Santa in his Grotto which he loved, and my wife brought some lovely Christmas tree decorations from their Festive Barn; we then had a quick visit to stroke Dorcas the donkey and the baby calves before leaving. The whole 'choosing our own Christmas tree' experience left me amazed as to how nice and helpful the staff of the farm were; as well as Jim and his family there were local villagers helping out at weekends, giving it a really personal and local feel. I'd definitely recommend the Grange Farm Christmas Barn to anyone and make sure to take the kids with you toothey'll love it!

Not sure what they do the rest of the year but this is the simplest, most organised christmas tree shopping I have ever done and I was well pleased with the product and the experience.
