There were some hardcore Sunday shoppers here and rightly so this place is beautiful. Full on country side vibe with every possible flower and shrub imaginable! I got my trolley and causally stilled around the centre settling on buying some sunflowers and other really hard to pronounce types of flowers for my mom and dads front garden. I have no idea who named some of these varieties of flowers....but they went innnnn...I won't lie a lot of them I couldn't pronounce but I gave it a good go..with varying results.... The flowers here are super cheap too the sunflowers were like 1.50 each and most pots are below £3...bargains galore!! The only thing to note is the tills are busy...people are flocking for a wide for those bargain blooms so set out an afternoon for this trip it's definitely going to take you a a few to see everything and pay....but that's the vibe surely...loved it.

Chapmans Nurseries is a garden centre and Tea Rooms just outside the centre of Rosliston, opposite…read morethe Forestry Centre. Chapmans is the best garden centre in the local area; there is a good variety of plants, shrubs and trees, which are reasonably priced and very healthy. The tree section in particular has a wide variety of plants, more impressive than most bigger garden centres. The members of staff are cheerful and helpful, and genuinely understand about the plants they are selling, which is a novelty for a garden centre! It also sells mainly plants and plant related products, rather than the myriad of 'tat' that most garden centres sell. The Topiary Tea Rooms is set in a small wooden building, but has a beautiful outlook onto a sun-soaked patio where wild birds feed very relaxing. They only serve drinks and cakes, but I would definitely recommend the cheese scones. As the weather steadily improves, I would heartily recommend Chapmans as a place to go to rejuvenate your garden.

If ever their is a problem with any plants there is never an issue with exchange, which I never had. Kevin is top guy, as is all the staff and their knowledge of all plants is so very helpful. Whenever we visit we always come away with some plant regardless of size, and most important for us, a great cup of tea / coffee and a lush scone or cake all home baked. What can I add " Well done staff and management at Chapmans " You won't be disappointed.
Purely Plants is a great countryside garden centre and fine food farm shop in Middleton Cheney near…read moreBanbury in Oxfordshire. Over the last 5 years or so, I have bought many plants and garden ornaments from Purely Plants and have always been impressed with the quality and service provided. There is always a wide selection of plants, seeds, trees and garden accessories available. On the downside, the centre is unfortuently located right next to a busy main road from Banbury to Middleton Cheney, which makes it a noisy shopping experience. Turning into the garden centre off the main road is also dangerous as it is so busy. Generally though, the store is great, there aren't that many like it in the area, so when it popped up 5 or so years ago it was most welcome. Definetly recommended.

It offers an extremely comprehensive range of products. Staff in the outside area can be hard to find but there are knowledgeable staff available if you need advice as I did when selecting a fruit tree for my garden. The level of customer service is high, I was surprised to discover that if you buy a heavy bag of fertiliser or compost it will be taken to your car on an electric carrier! So all in all a recommended place to go for garden supplies and products.

Though the summer-long hosepipe ban which is already in force for the southeast of England may put a slight dampener (no pun intended!) on things Woodcote Green Nurseries are located a road along with a few other horticultural centres. However, they are the biggest and have a few more strings to their bow apart from the garden centre At this of year, I like to add some seasonal vegetables just for the year and perhaps plant a new fruit bush or tree which will yield a bountiful harvest over many years. Sometimes, some herb plants may need replacing after a harsh winter though it wasn't too bad a winter this time I also love to browse their aquarium area though I've discovered through experience that my doctoring skills sadly don't extend to my finned friends, so I now confine myself to looking at the fishes! They have a nice cafe with hot and cold food as well as cakes and drinks for a snack, hence catering for different types of meals. Edinburgh Woollen Mills have an area with clothing and there's a small book department too Like the start of a new football season, spring brings with it a season of hope and limitless opportunities in the garden!

I looked everywhere for some reasonable priced but full hanging baskets last year and found them here. They were so much more better value than anywhere else I had tried. As well as the usual plants, shrubs and flowers, there is a gift area. The gifts are very pretty and range from baby items, wooden crafted items, cards, ceramics and jewellery. They are quite expensive, but if you are looking for something a bit different to the usual high street stores then you might find something here. There is also a fantastic cafe and the food is gorgeous, with things like home made soup or jacket potatoes on the menu. You get loads for your money and the home made cakes are worth popping in for alone! There is plenty of free parking in the car park outside and customer toilets too.

Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous!…read more I've recently gotten really into windowsill gardening and have been filling all available spaces with tiny green loveliness. I was looking for a good garden shop that offered real variety (unlike the chain stores which seem to offer not much and a lot of it), and learned about Neal's. I'm so glad I did. While it is awkwardly located just across from a prison, the place is just great. Pots galore; a beautiful selection of bedding plants and other outdoor selections; and a great indoor shop featuring a greenhouse of houseplants, a wealth of garden tools, indoor pots and planters, and gifts for gardeners. While I've come to expect independent shops to be a touch more expensive than the chain stores (and am ok with this as I like supporting the little guy), I was pleasantly surprised at the super reasonable pricing at Neal's! I ended up bringing home more and larger plants than I would have anywhere else as they were so well priced. I kept going on about this to my husband, who very kindly didn't say too much as I added plant after plant to our basket! Definitely a place I'll be visiting on a semi-regular basis!

The cakes are homemade and are really special- as well as the usual chocolate, and coffee flavours, they also have some herb-flavoured ones- their lavender cake is delicious! If you are planning on coming here with firends or family for a main meal then you really do need to book as there is a limited seating area and it can get very busy. It is worth cominghere earlier rather than later for lunch as popular items often sell out quickly! The food is nicely prepared and well flavoured, and there are plainer options for those who are less keen on strong herb flavours! They do a snack menu and also cater for children. The waiters are friendly and helpful, and it is an enjoyable place to eat. There is a little shop through the archway of the restaurant, selling jams, frozen homemade pies, fancy napkins, and posh pasta sauces and oils. There is a much larger shop to the left of the cafe, which sells a wide variety of garden ornaments, hanging basket, small childrens toys, cards, wrapping paper, and other knick-knacks. This is worth a visit if you are passing and fancy a break for a browse round the shop and a drink and slice of cake in the cafe. We have found the service to be a bit slow on our last few visits, purely due to the large number of people all arriving at the same time! My Gran has limited mobility and loves the Herb Centre as it is very flat and she doesn't have to contend with any stairs. There is ample parking, with disabled spaces right by the cafe, so only a few metres walk is required. Would definitely recommend their cakes!

Also there is a Mosholu shoe concession, Cotton Traders and a very upmarket kitchen/home dept. selling makes like Joseph and Simple Human, and also the usual garden centre products like bird/animal food, and lots of outside plants and shrubs/trees. There are two places to eat, a cafe where you order at the counter and it's served to you, and a sit-down restaurant with waiter service. We've eaten at both and they are fine, very nice handcut chips! but the manager of the restaurant could do with cheering up a bit. He seemed a bit sour - maybe he had an off day but that can permeate down to the staff. The ladies in the cafe bit are nice. Prices are reasonable all round too. There are very nice walks nearby so we often drive up to Clifford Chambers and have a walk then lunch or tea at this garden centre.

It's a bit pricey for the food and gifty bits, but the plants and things aren't too bad cost wise I don't think.
