This Wyevale just outside Eastleigh is the closest wyevale to me, and also has a Maidenhead…read moreAquatics on site and a Craft Centre in a thatched cottage next to it! The Wyevale is a good size, with plenty of outdoor plants and a large indoor section with a cafe and toilets to visit. The plants from Wyevale can be quite expensive but they tend to be good quality and last longer than other big brand garden centres. They're only really beaten by nurseries and you can't get the choice under one roof. Great for a stroll round on a Sunday and you can also have a bite to eat!

Not the biggest Homebase, but it is quite a good one. The plants are always in good condition and…read morethe garden centre really well organised. They revolve their display stock frequently, so you can often pick up a furniture bargain if you don't mind ex-display. The staff are knowledgable and keen to assist, particularly the staff involved with paint etc. Get a homebase card, a reward card which enables you points which convert into monetary vouchers to spend, it's not the best scheme, but it all helps!

Tchibo is a strange place! It serves coffee and cake but also clothes, homewares and various other…read morerandom things! The hardwares change on a weekly cycle, so you never know what you will find when you go in the shop! Sometimes you can get some useful gadgets that you might not be able to find anywhere else. In terms of Coffee the shop does a small selection, all the normals plus a couple of special coffee's depending on the season (iced in the summer and caramel in the winter). They are quite reasonably priced as well. There are some seats inside the coffee shop, but as it can get quite busy i prefer to sit in the outside area. The outside seating is in the middle of the shopping centre away from the coffee shop so it's quite strange walking there with your drinks!

Delightful garden center. Huge selection of plants, garden tools and decorations, as well as home…read moreitems and clothes. Anything garden related you can find here. The prices are what you would expect for the area. And the employees are very helpful. They have a lovely cafe and even a couple of goats out the back to the pleasure of little ones. Make sure to bring your furry friend as well.

Just outside Eastleigh, is the very small Craft Central next to Wyevale Garden Centre. Its looks…read morenice as you approach and in a thatched cottage I expected it to a bit different! When I got in it is very small, cramped, stock everywhere and you really struggle to get round between all the displays. I found it expensive, not particularly good and didn't stay very long!

This a fantastic craft shop for all your card making and other crafty hobbies!! It is set in a…read morethatched barn in the garden centre grounds.. The ladies that work here are extremely helpful and show you how to use certain products like the cuttlebug or Big Shot. Also they have visiting demonstrators quite regularly some of whom have programmes on a TV shopping channel.. When the demonstrations are on they have special offers too which are very good. All in all the products tend to be cheaper than say Hobby craft. The Garden Centre is a lovely place to visit to with an immense range of gifts and garden paraphernalia and houses a fantastic cafe with enormous portions!!!Yum

Just on the exit from Wyevale is Silverland Stone and Paving, and second time I visited the garden…read morecentre I thought I'd have a look round, they've got some very good displays for ornamental features for pathways, water features etc. Some very expensive stylish stone statues and a good mix of cheaper stone as well as highly finished stone. It was nice to walk round and just look, I wasn't harassed by the staff as I did, and there was a hut to go in if you needed any help. The prices were fair and seemed competitive for what they had!

Very small and cramped but there is a huge amount of equipment on display. staff were all very nice.read more
