Large garden centre situated between Carleton and Cleveleys. Great selection of outdoor plants kept…read morein exceptionally clean and tidy surroundings giving you confidence in the quality of the plants - and no I don't work there it's a genuine observation :-) Huge range of all the usual garden sundries large and small and staff on hand to advise. The Topiary cafe within seemed to be doing a roaring trade during my visit and I'm sure the outside seating will make it even more popular in the summer. There's a large crafts section and the usual posh gifts to be found in garden centres, also a food section with chutneys and more. All in all a classy garden centre which would appeal to gardeners and non-gardeners alike, a nice place to have a drive out to and a mosey around! :-)

This is my local garden centre and I'm a regular visitor. It's a place I can go to pick up a gift…read more(for myself or a friend!) as it has a wide range to choose from. I also get all my bedding plants and tubs in the Summer and can select from the varied shrubs on offer. A friend and I always visit the clothing section after we've had lunch at the Topiary Café and have purchased sweaters, jackets and tunics in the past. We are never disappointed with the food on offer at the Café. One of the reasons why I didn't rate Burnside 5 stars is because it's selection of houseplants and cacti is very limited. Altogether though, a good place to visit.

Great place, friendly staff,prices ok, pp plants good, carpark small but if only they had a cafe it…read morewould be perfect.

It's little nursery tucked in the corner of the M60 junction near Sale. Chances are, driving past,…read moreyou don't even know it's there. Not sure what they do the rest of the year but this is the simplest, most organised christmas tree shopping I have ever done and I was well pleased with the product and the experience. You got 3 types of trees and 4 - 5 ranges of height, organised in rows. Bloody simple, and the trees look pretty good too. I don't know what are the prices but we paid £37 for a 5-6ft Nordman. Job done !

Great little garden centre (used ot be independent but I'm not sure anymore) . Which offers a great…read morerange of specialised tools and plants. It's not over priced and a majority of items are very reasonable. This place has been revamped over the years but they still have a great little cafe at the back which offers some nice options. It does tend to get busy at the weekends so try and avoid the busiest eating times I tend to visit over Christmas as I find their Christmas offering to be one of the best in the area for both value and range of selection

I have been trying to buy a Lugarde log cabin from this company for the past 3 months. All my…read moreattempts to contact the director by email, in person, by telephone and text to facilitate the purchase have been ignored. Bizarre behaviour from Carr Bank Garden Centre. I have taken my business to a competitor and have received exemplary service from them.

I'm bound to say this is OK as it is my local garden centre but they have decently priced plants…read morewith a discount. Super range of pet foods and accessories. The emphasis is on the goods they sell, not on teas and cakes and pointless expensive ornaments. Far better than the local competition (Beetham)

This is the place to come if koi carp are your thing! Large range of fish from the humble goldfish…read moreto large wonderfully coloured koi. Also all the supplies you'll need to set up and maintain your pond. They also supply tropical fish tanks and equipment but not tropical fish, or at least they didn't at my last visit. A good range of water features and ornaments will add the final flourish to your dream pond. There is a small plant section but it isn't a garden centre as such and doesn't supply the usual gardening sundries and equipment. A coffee shop completes the picture, a peaceful spot to pass half an hour while you ponder your pond possibilities :-)

Came here not for the carp but to get some dressing for the garden as well as a water feature, they…read morehave a great selection and are reasonably priced will certainly visit again

Unpretentious farm shop with a good range of produce. It has been extended relatively recently and…read moreoffers a broader range of stock than it used to. However it is still predominantly a vegetable shop and although it now sells sausages and bacon it doesn't have an extensive butchery department like some farm shops. However what it does it does well. A good variety of veg, lots of it local including potatoes that still have some soil on, hurrah! They aren't slavish to the local theme though and also supply more exotic fruit and veg from further afield. They also supply chutneys, sweets, posh crisps, jams, pastas, rice, milk, cream, and the wonderful Cartmel sticky toffee pudding. There's a great selection of local Lancashire cheeses including Dewlay cheeses from just down the road and also good quality cheese from elsewhere in the world such as feta cheese and mozzarella. Along one wall there's a large selection of bird food and feeders which ties in with there being a small gardening section alongside the shop. All in all a great farm shop which offers fair value and a good variety of stock without erring too much towards garden centre style overpricing.
