They stock a decent range of range of hardware, cleaning materials and DIY products at reasonable prices. Outside there is a court yard which is stocked with gardening equipment, plants and garden furniture. A nice little shop and worth a look if you don't fancy the trek to B&Q or Homebase.

As well as funitures, clothes and food shop. The restaurant and cafe served hot and cold food. I even joined the membership card where it costs a tenner. You'll get free 2 drinks each month and buy one get on free meals three times a year plus 10% discount. I've already made my money back on money i've saved. Really happy to have found this relaxing place to go to on a sunday.

Wyevale is a chain of garden centres, and the local one to Warrington is at Bold Heath close to…read morePenketh, Widnes and St Helens. It's quite prominent on the main road so if you visit it, you can't miss it. It's got quite a large car park but can get very busy in there on weekends. Product wise, it's got a really good choice and is a nice place to come and have a look around even if you don't want to get anything as you can easily pass an hour or so here. First off when you get in there's a coffee shop which does a range of snacks and some meals. It's not cheap in here but there are plenty of seats and the foods ok. Inside the rest of the garden centre you have giftware, books, magazines, some sweets and food, pet supplies and garden items such as lawnmowers etc. Outside is quite big and they do a large range of plants and shrubs, most of the shrubs are arranged alphabetically in rows, and the plants are split into types, however I would say have a good walkabout as things aren't always obvious. There is a water gardens and pond/aquatic section too with a really good choice of fish, accessories and tanks. You can also pick up garden pots (and they often have some on offer), ornaments, stepping stones etc that are a bit different. The staff here are pretty helpful, we've asked them before when buying lawnmowers and they've put one aside for us while we've been at work. Prices are not too bad, and the quality seems pretty good. For those people into crafts, there is a separate concession inside the store that sells lots of crafting products, a wide range of papers, stamps, card making items etc.

Rivendell is THE garden centre as far as I'm concerned. A massive selection of flowers, plants,…read morebulbs, seeds, luxurious sheds, other garden accessories and a wonderful cafe. What more can one ask? The last time I ate in the cafe, which can get very hot as its all glass, a robin was dancing across tables and saying hello to people. Unhygienic perhaps but great nonetheless. The food, as a rule, is lovely, but they stop serving hot meals at 2pm - unless you want to get stuff that's been sitting out, eat as close to then as possible. My fiancee and I bought a converter thingymajig for around two quid allowing us to turn run of the mill 2 litre plastic bottles into birdfeeders. An invention of Dragons Den proportions, and a handy way of not spending a bundle on containers to feed tits and things. For gardeners this place is a must, in my opinion. Its one drawback, I think, the toilets are a bit of a trek from the cafe. For pensioners or those with mobility issues, this can prove a problem.

I am a rather large fan of garden centres; I don't know why, maybe because whenever I seem to go to…read moreone I'm all relaxed and chilled out for some reason. But I do find garden centre relaxing and Rivendell is no different, maybe it's the sounds of water features. Rivendell offer a great selection of a great many things. The books in particular are always very reasonably priced. The cafe is sweet, full of old dears and never too expensive. And there Christmas displays are always lovely. To get into the garden centre on during the festive season you have to walk through a snowy path where they display all their trees. They do also sell real Christmas trees outside.

This is a huge shop spread over two floors and sells pretty much anything you need, although you may need to spend some time searching to find it. Prices are pretty reasonable although parking can be a bit awkward as there's no car park and limited on street parking in the area.

The one star rating is just for the stock they sell. As for the staff and their rudeness and…read morehorrible attitude towards customers is absolutely disgusting. I can't find a website or customer complaints phone number. I was in there today only because b&q didn't have what I wanted and the little blonde member of staff was so horrible to me when I asked for help, another customer helped me in the end as he heard the way she spoke to me. Something needs to be done about the staff in there. I have worked in shops myself and if I spoke and treated customers like they do I would have been sacked.

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. You got 3 types of trees and 4 - 5 ranges of height, organised in rows. Bloody simple, and the trees look pretty good too. I don't know what are the prices but we paid £37 for a 5-6ft Nordman. Job done !
