This is a massive treasure that I am about to share to everyone and anyone who may stumble across…read more(or indeed search for) this review. On a cycle ride one fine summer day, through the Meanwood Valley Trail I came out of Meanwood woods to find a large cottage at its end. There was a poly-tunnel in the garden a geese squawking up a riot. Here I found the smallest garden centre you'll probably ever come across. There are bedding plants, compost, logs and the usual goods of a garden centre but on a much smaller scale. Sometimes there's an overspill of veg from the owners garden (such as pumpkins in October, which are available for purchase but my favorite are the free-range eggs. In a city it is so hard to come across fresh, free-range eggs that it really cheers me up when I go and get 6 for a pound from Sam. Simple things... A Christmas special that some may be interested in is the availability of free-range, turkey and goose. More expensive than at a supermarket but if you're prepared to head out this way then that probably won't bother you. P.S. opening times depend on someone being there which isn't always guaranteed

I have driven past The Vale Stables and their signs indicating logs and manure for sale many times…read morethinking it was just a horse stables. It may well be this but when I walked past I was overjoyed to find a little garden centre that looks like it rose up from ground and grew out of the trees that hide it. It exists mostly outside with a lady, a cat and dog huddled round a wood burner, running the place. There are plants everywhere, planted in boots, old toilets, amongst carved pieces of wood, as well as in pots, for sale. Recently I picked up a pot of thyme for £1.50 but there were loads of herbs and flowers I could have chosen from. I also wanted some trays and pots to plant my seeds in so I asked if they had any. The lady told me they had loads and to help myself from the pile for no charge! This beats sterile and expensive landscaped garden centres I have tried to avoid since my childhood any day.

The Vale Stables is truly a hidden gem…read more A lovely rambling space packed with seasonal plants of all kinds, where the owners can be found warming their hands on a crackling wood-burner in all weathers - inspiring you to the outdoor life. They sell beautiful healthy plants which are so much cheaper than at any local garden centre. You can also buy wood and good quality manure in the autumn. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The owner, Gwen, and her daughter, have a wealth of gardening knowledge and will go out of their way to help and advise. My 3 year old boy loves to visit and see the hens, the dog and the river while I browse the plants on offer and soak up the atmosphere.
