Have bought big plants here in the past but the most recent visits have been for tropical fish. They have a good variety on offer and split them up well based on the type of tanks you can have.

Tong Lane, Bradford…read more BD4 0RY 0113 2853506 opens; mon - sat 9am- 6pm This is a very large garden centre which is on a main road so is easy to find and access - if you dont have a car there is a bus runs from bradford interchange that drops off right outside. You can buy absolutely everything here from garden plants, bushes, sheds, benches to pond supplies. You can buy paving, bbqs and other outdoor living/designing supplies. They also have a good aquatics centre and pet supplies, plus a good selection of pets to own. The best part of pet centre is 'elvis' the parrot - he is lovely. The cafe is huge with a very good choice but it is a bit on the dear price, still you have to treat yourself sometimes and the food is lovely and well worth it. The centre is always well stocked and the staff are very nice and polite.

The best flower shop in Baildon…read more No more needed to say

My favourite shop in Baildon, and a breath of fresh air for this small Yorkshire town just outside…read morethe clutches of Bradford city and happily nestled on the edges of Baildon and Ilkley moor, proper countryside. This shop is a treasure trove of wonder It started off less than a year ago in tiny premises just big enough to hold the sweet smelling array of floral blooms they specialised in. But around the edges were original and exciting selections of cards, gifts and things for the home. In August 2008 they extended into the shop next door and suddenly seemed to have room to breathe and shine brightly, a glistening gem contrasting gloriously with Baildon's rough Yorkshire stone buildings. They now have an even more impressive selection of cut flowers and plants, gifts, wrapping paper, cards, jewellry, baby things, bowls and more. The prices are very reasonable. The flowers seem pricey compared to supermarkets, but they're nicer and the service is 100% better and don't forget that flowers are a loss-leader for the big supermarkets, meaning they sell them at a loss to get you in the store, pushing local businesses out of the market - support local businesses! And the wonderful smell that hits you when you just walk past the shop so beautiful, floral, gorgeous. I think two women run the shop and they are both very friendly and happy! They obviously love what they do, they always have big beaming smiles and the shop is often still open at 6-6:30pm, they say they forget to close up because the day just flies by. It's the kind of shop that gives you a warm feeling inside, maybe that's a girl-thing?! I bought my Mum a lovely plant for Mother's day from here

This beautiful little florists is set in the heart of Otley along one its busier shopping streets…read more It's a bit of a bizarre one, since it has a separate chocolatiers attached to it which it seems you can only access through the florist itself, but this is certainly not a problem. In fact I imagine this scenario will be most invaluable to all those chaps (and in some cases romantic chapettes, like me) who wish to go down the specialised flowers and chocolates route for Valentine's day! They had a number of different selections on display, with some gorgeous ready made bouquets and some gorgeous bulbs and plants as well. They were selling two hyacinths for £5, which is great as they smell divine once they have bloomed! I think my favourite flowers that were on display were the lilies, which looked beautiful, and some lovely bright tulips and daffodils too. All in all this is a great little florist and chocolatiers combo which I will certainly be visiting again!

I…read morecommonly buy big bunches of Eucalyptus, Spruce and Eryngium to decorate my house at Christmas. I have called in today and was horrified at the price of things. I ended up buying a fraction of what I normally buy and when I commented on the price I was told that the shop had changed ownership in the summer and their mark up was less than the previous owners. I was also told that the market had changed and things were a lot more expensive. Out of interest, I popped across the road to Tranmere florist and prices were much more in line with what I expected i.e. Eryngium per stem £2.25 as opposed to £3.95. If you're buying a few things, this makes a huge difference. My advice, if you have a vague idea of what you're looking for, try Tranmere first!

I bought a Guinea pig from here on 22/04, she passed away after two weeks despite numerous vet…read moretrips and medication, the fault is solely on Woodbank nurseries for neglecting her. I was told by staff that she had received lice/mite/flea and ringworm treatment on arrival, which I took at face value. I checked her over the next day after she had settled in and I noticed she had a large cut on her neck which had scabbed over and her nose was scabby and she visibly had lice crawling over her fur. We took her to our local vets for treatment straight away, who confirmed she had mites/lice. We contacted the Woodbank who said that we could have a full refund if we returned her. We chose not to do this, as she had clearly been neglected to get in the state she was in and I was not comfortable returning her to that environment. I asked for confirmation and proof that she had received the treatment (this is basic for any establishment that sells animals and have multiple people working there, especially if they are applying any kind of medicine it should be logged) instead my question was ignored and I was offered a full refund. We have since taken her back to the vets as we noticed lumps on her chin, these have been confirmed as abscesses from bites caused by the mites/lice and tests have also been sent to the lab to check if she has ringworm. She is currently on antibiotics, as well as other treatment which could and would have been prevented if she had been cared for properly to begin with. A 3 month old Guinea pig should not be in this condition under any circumstances, and certainly shouldn't be sold like this. On the receipt Woodbank give you when buying a pet it states that they do not pay for vet bills after the animal is purchased, this in itself is concerning as it suggests it's been a common problem. Every other place I have bought/adopted Guinea pigs from have provided a 3 month guarantee, where if your pet gets ill they will pay for vet bills, this demonstrates that they believe they are selling the animal in a healthy condition. The fact that Woodbank openly state they do not pay for vet bills extremely concerning and should be a warning for other customers to not purchase an animal from here. Any Guinea pigs housed with mine during her stay at Woodbank will have lice/mites and most likely ringworm, and the department manager has not confirmed whether they have received treatment despite my requests for this. I am also aware 3 other Guinea pigs she was originally housed with were bought the day before and more than likely have the same issues. The department manager claimed all Guinea pigs currently in their care have been thoroughly checked, however the same assurance was given for my Guinea pig, and it's evident she had not been thoroughly checked so it's questionable what their thorough checks entail. The department manager and the store manager are not accepting liability for the neglect of this Guinea pig. When my partner mentioned we have been advised by the vet to contact RSPCA the manager laughed and stated that "they deal with them all the time", this response is very worrying and confirms other people are concerned about the welfare of the animals at Woodbank. Previously whilst visiting the pet department, one of the girls who works there was discussing the Guinea pigs kept in the centre pen for breeding and stated in front of multiple customers that many of the pups were stillborn and that it was an on going issue, further showing they are not able to care for the Guinea pigs they currently have and she also confirmed once they had babies they would sell the sows, which is also ethnically questionable. I strongly advise against anybody buying an animal from Woodbank unless you want a sick animal and are willing to cover vets bills.
