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). It's had to look at…read moredifferent things than a few shrubs and bulbs and you can now buy all sorts of internal and external decorations and ornaments apart from the usual flowers and stuff. 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.

TL;DR - Good range of products and reasonable prices…read more Since becoming a home owner I've found myself spending more time in garden centres and am very grateful that Newbank is "my local". 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.

This is a very well designed space which feels surprisingly big as you walk around it. There's a good variety of flowers, fruit trees, shade plants and more for sale. There's a gluten free, vegan cafe on site. I saw a sign for vegan hotdogs, cakes and coffee when I was there but didn't sample anything. There's lots of seating at the cafe but also lots of little quiet spots with seating all over the centre. It feels like a community park as much as a business. There's also a 'schoolroom' with hay bales for the students. This place is not the cheapest garden centre but then your money is going to support a community not B & Q shareholders. Also all the plants are organic and in peat free compost.

There are several huge greenhouses with all the tray plants in them and many more plants on trestles around the grounds.

There is also a range of garden furniture and aggregates of all kinds in large bags.after looking round all the outdoor space you end up in the shop area to pay for your stuff and find lots of other stuff - seeds, trellis, books, ornamental stuff and all manner of gardening bits and pieces.

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.

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.
