The only word I can use for Wyvale Garden Centre (formerly Barton Grange) is "epic"... it's a…read morehumongous space full of everything you could need for your garden, from plants and shrubs, to trees, fountains, statues, tools, and equipment etc. It also has a cafe/restaurant, and a large shopping area of books, toys, games, gifts, food items, and a branch of Edinburgh Woolen Mill, as well as an aquarium. It's a nice place just to have a wander around to be honest, there's far too much and too many things for me to list. It also has good parking, and good disabled access, as well as friendly and helpful staff.

I'm awarding four stars for this garden centre (Ooooh, I feel powerful).

My missus gets very excited every time she goes in. We even honoured this place last year when we purchased our Christmas tree from here. Praise indeed. I've not tried their cafe, but friends who have say it's extremely good food, but very expensive. That covers the rest of the place really - you will get what you want here, it will be very good quality and it will be top money.

Forget pots of paint, stencils and fancy wallpaper…read more The only reason anyone would be crazy enough to go to B&Q this week would be to buy one of their wood burning stoves or electric fires. Last time I checked they had about half a dozen different models at reasonable prices. Admittedly, none of them looked as stylish as the fires you see in lifestyle magazines but when Britain is having it's worst cold spell for thirty years, I think some people might be willing to sacrifice a little style for the sake of staying warm! Handily, this branch offers Reserve and Collect so you can order products online or by phone and collect later.

First up, there's plenty of parking although it can be a bit tight at the weekends are people try and park near the entrance - my tip is just head to the far end of the car park where there's usually space. Upon entering you have to follow a bit of an Ikea-esque route through various kitchenwares and foods, followed by gifts, clothing and cards. There's all sorts here not specifically related to gardens - if you're looking for a gift you might find what you want here. You then come through to the main indoor section, a big area of which is devoted to interiors and decorating, and the rest is a rotating selection based on the season. At Christmas they have a lot here and it's really popular. From there you can pass through to another indoor section which has house plants, animal and plant supplies and tools. The house plant section has really expanded over the last year or so and we've picked up some really unusual plants here for much less than we've seen them on sale elsewhere. Finally you come through to the outdoor area which has a huge selection of both plants and physical objects like fencing and paving. We've pretty much built up our whole garden with supplies we've bought here. You'll also find a "bargain basement" corner for reduced plants which are worse for wear - we've picked up some real bargains here. Finally there's also a restaurant. We've never actually tried it ourselves but it always seems to be busy and people seem to come here specifically for it. All in all, it's a great garden centre. Unfortunately with COVID you can expect to queue as a result, and the Ikea-like route at the start can be a bit frustrating if you're here for something specific for your garden.
