If you're looking for a garden centre around Shinfield that has pretty much everything, and…read morefriendly and knowledgeable staff, then I'd suggest Dobbies on Hyde End Road. They also have a nice (10-15 tables) cafe, but that is a bit pricey. Oh you can sit outside of that too.

I love Conkers Garden Centre. It is a very large store which sells indoor and outdoor plants and…read morethere is a wide variety to chose from. They also sell garden furniture and near enough everything else you could think of to cater for your gardening needs inside and out. They also sell fish and have a large tank showing differen varieties available. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful and it is also a good store to take children as there are many items of interest that they would like too.

We visited this garden centre looking for a good deal on turf. The manager was very helpful and…read morequoted us a competitive price, which we accepted. As it was a Saturday he promised to call us on the Monday to confirm a delivery day. I am disappointed that he has not done so and the store is now closed, I will be phoning them first thing tomorrow morning. They have lost a star for this reason only!

This garden centre is located on the Henley road outside Caversham…read more It has everything you would expect from a garden centre and more. I buy my christmas tree here every year for example and they have a great selection of trees to chose from, and the staff are more than happy to pack the trees up for you. What caught my eye was the pile of old oak railwy sleepers piled up in the carpark. I needed one for a fireplace renovation I was doing and this was just the job only cost £20 for 1.5 metres long and about 40 kilos of oak.

On the old road from Winchester to Basingstoke, this is a typical garden centre, with a good…read morevariety of plants for inside and out. Particularly good orchids to be found here. At Christmas they do a Santa's grotto and all the money goes to a local childrens charity, the display is really good and they use items which they sell in store so if you wanted to make your house like a grotto and had the money you probably could! They do a good selection of gifts, i'm talking books, cups, and food items, they are often something you wouldn't see elsewhere so worth a look. There is also an aquatic centre, although i've not used it, it is average prices and the guys know there stuff. Great xmas trees if you buy them with a root, i've still got mine from last year all ready to bring in for this year!

There's a clear market for Dollar stores in the UK but they obviously don't use dollars. So what do…read morethey have? Poundland, where everything's a pound (around $1.66)! The store is a block away from Reading Station and it has everything you would expect in a widely discounted variety, from cookies and biscuits, cans of soda, stuff for your car, dishes and cups, silverware, kitchen appliances, office supplies, even over-the-counter medicines like cold and flu stuff. Way too much to list here. You do have to be aware of the prices. I've seen some items that were £1 at Poundland for less than that at Asda or Tesco, but the opposite is true too: there are some great bargains to be had. The aisles are rather narrow - too narrow for trolleys - but they have a big stack of carry baskets. Shoppers seem friendly enough to step aside so you can pass. The lines can tend to be long and it blocks one of the aisles. Maybe it's not so busy the rest of the year, but lots of people are looking for Christmas bargains now. And yes, it's exactly a pound. The price includes tax (they call it VAT over here).
