It's a garden centre. It's bank holiday Monday. I was expecting it to be mentally busy. It wasn't…read more Woodlawn is 5 mins from my house and it's the go to place for decent bedding plants and shrubs. I'm not much of a gardener as I have a regular rather expensive manicure so I usually direct operations and himself or the big son does the donkey work. I've bought plants before from Homebase but they're usually forced on and unless the weather is fairly mild they either die on me or don't thrive. I don't mind paying a bit extra for quality plus the guys in Woodlawn are really knowledgeable about horticultural stuff and are happy to give you all sorts of hints and tips about what or not to buy. The shop bit is pretty excellent and not at all necessarily garden related. They have stylish Pilgrim jewellery, scarves, Crabtree & Evelyn products, lovely gift ideas and a great range of Regatta outdoor clothing and wellies plus some locally sourced food products. They have a great range of garden furniture and barbecues if our weather ever allowed you to sit out and in a few weeks they'll have hanging baskets and ready planted tubs. They have a great restaurant too with comfy sofas and a nice view of all the plants and things. So I guess I have to give it a 5* rating as they really have thought of everything. Worth a visit if you're in to your garden and even if you're not the coffee is good

There are not many garden centres you could have a full day out in, but you could with Dobbies…read more It's an amazing centre with everything you could possibly want including garden furniture, ornaments, summer houses, garden sheds, plants, bird tables and gardening equipment. Dobbies also have a fabulous restaurant and luxury food hall filled with delicious meals, desserts, wine and gourmet food. It can often be very busy and some items are not the cheapest, however for quality and selection it gets top marks.

Apart from customer services, the products were good.

I ordered trees and hedging through Woodcroft Landscapes' online shop and was really impressed with…read morehow easy the process was. The plants arrived healthy, well-packaged, and exactly as described. It's clear their nursery stock is top quality and well cared for. On top of that, I've seen some of the landscaping projects they've completed, and the standard of work looks excellent, professional, tidy, and built to last. You can tell they take real pride in both the plants they grow and the gardens they create. Between the convenience of the online shop and the craftsmanship of their landscaping, Woodcroft Landscapes is a company I'd highly recommend.

Owner, Elizabeth reels off a list of high prestigious clients such as Parliament Buildings Stormont, Belfast's Hilton Hotel, Jury's Hotel, and Queen's University. The shop itself, whilst small, is warm and inviting and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Inside there are an eye-popping range of arrangements and colourful flowers on display. The old romantic favourite, 12 red roses will cost you £40 with most other boquets averaging at £28. They also offer flowers for weddings, corporate purposes, sympathy and have an impressive range of outdoor tress, shrubs and garden ornaments. One arrangement that caught my eye in particular was a handtied 'Gerbara Zest'. I think it woukd look stunning in someones home, with it's bright cheery colours.

With about a half hour to kill between the…read morepoint we had to drop our daughter off for school and then be back in time to see her play, we didn't have too many options, and as a result called in here. I've seen the sign out on the main road (which would be easy to miss) every day as it's on my commute to work and yet I've never been in. So this worked out well. What a great hidden gem, loved this place. If you're looking for it, it is opposite the attendant-less Maxol garage, down the side of the used car place. The décor has all the hallmarks of a trendy contemporary coffee shop/deli, nothing too original, but to their credit they have distilled the design to the best elements of it and then executed the layout very well, so it's a nice place to be. The staff were great too which I love as there is little to endear a place to me more quickly than nice people working there who are nice, not through customer training but because they are just good folks!! The food when was great, a wide range of mouth-watering choices are clearly displayed across the huge menu..... which is the entire back wall of the place. It has been painted in blackboard paint and the menu chalked up in big clear writing. The prices although on the higher end of average aren't extortionate by any means so I wouldn't call it cheap eats but you get top quality food and service for just north of average price. The coffee was great, which is an essential element for me and the last thing I ate was a scone..... as we were there so early, it was freshly backed and still warm from the oven......................... so so good!
