Impressive art from local and national artists adorn the walls and vary in price from reasonable to very expensive. I'm a fan of two shops in particular, the chocolate shop has a yummy selection of handmade chocolates and cakes for sale. It offers a bespoke service whereby you can have your own design made for those very special occasions. The other shop is the kitchen shop, here it has quirky utensils, pots, pans, baking dishes which are all quite unique and reasonably priced. I'm also a fan of the on site cafe, which gets really busy during lunch time, I had a simple cheese and pickle sandwich and a cappuccino for around £6.00. There's a comfy area with sofas, you can sit at a table or there's outside seating which is very pleasant in the summer months.

I bought lots from here to do up my Granddad's planters, and everything stayed well and healthy

I started to understand some traditional English habits that didn't make sense at all before for me…read moreuntil I moved to the country. Gardening is one good example. We like our gardens in Brazil but here people are really fond of it. And it can be spotted in the raise of visitors to the garden centres spread through the country. Especially during the spring and summer. I like visiting garden centres as well and I just can't avoid my annual visit to Hollybush, one of the largest garden centres in the country. HollyBush is an independent gardening centre with more of three decades of service. Luckily it is not just a pace for gardening experts and people like me can also visit and learn something more about seeds and bulbs. Or just appreciate it anyway. I just adopted a Bonsai tree which I call Alice and I hope she survives my lack of experience in the garden issues anyway. By the way, I just love the Japanese and oriental garden area at Hollybush. It's a piece of Japan right in the middle of this gardening centre. If you are looking for garden tools and furniture, this is a perfect place to have a mooching around. And it's definitely a great way to put you in the mood of summer, if you don't even have a garden like me. The range of benches, fountains and barbecue tools are just an invitation to start planning all those special meals outside the house. The aquaria is another great feature at Hollybush. Fish tanks and species of all kid, plus fishing equipments make this space pretty popular. The kids can't get enough of watching the fish and there are even some piranhas there. Indoor bonsai and cactuses are also something that always bring my attention. I always bring a new adding to the family every visit. Hollybush has a huge shopping area with candles, sweets and cards and gifts. And if after visiting you feel like need some cake and a cuppa, it's compulsory to pop to their café and restaurant before leaving this place. The entrance is free and here is a parking space for over 600 cars.

Beats any supermarket hands down in my opinion.
