"This place is a total vibe, especially the Italian inspired restaurant La Casa Verde, where I tried a divine broccoli and Gruyere soup with sourdough. The garlic mushrooms with goats cheese on sourdough was also incredible. I only tried one mushroom as it was not from my plate but it was the best thing I have ever put it in my mouth!"

I just wanted to say a big thank you for my lovely alpine plants and Hamamelis, which arrived safely yesterday.
They were packed beautifully and very securely, as always.  I am really grateful for the quality of my plants and quick delivery. 
I am sure I will be ordering from you again soon!

Many thanks for delivery of my tree sapling order which arrived on time and in perfect condition.  Not bad considering that I live at the opposite end of the country to you.

This plant is growing well now and really healthy. I should have had more faith! Everything I’ve ever bought from you over the years has been in tip top condition; this is the first year I’ve ordered on-line and I have to commend you on your packing as well, not all companies take the care that you do!

Just wanted to thank you for the really easy and quick delivery of the flowering apricot tree.  It arrived in good condition and in bloom; my wife is thrilled.

Thanks again

Quite an amazing place, really!

We knew it would be enjoyable to visit on a lovely sunny day, on our way home from a short break in the Lakes/Dales, but weren't prepared for just how nice it would be - or how extensive. A great place for the hard-core gardener or someone who wants some extra statuary for their grounds, but for us with our little back yard it was just fun to walk around - and we did get a couple of plants and some trailing lobelia. Luckily we'd had the foresight to book a table in the restaurant in advance. We hadn't realised that the extra part of the garden with ticketed entry is only open Wednesday & Sunday afternoons (we went on a Friday) - hence the confused look when we tried to pay to get in! - but there's more than enough to spend a good amount of time enjoying anyway.

Great place for browsing outdoor statues & a variety of plants/shrubs & trees. Lunch on the balcony was delicious & service good too. The gift shop next door is a bonus.

Probably my favourite garden centre.

It’s an amazing garden, which feels like a fairy tale to walk through. As you turn right at the end of the path you see a wonderfully peaceful cafe. Up the stairs you find a shaded area from which you oversee the luscious gardens over a pond lively with little fish. I recommend this place not just as a garden centre but as a beautiful botanical garden worthy of a visit to feel as if you enter an enchanted forest.

One of the best nurseries I've ever been too.

We've been coming here for over 17 years and it is still one of my favourite places to visit when we are in the area! Brilliant variety of high quality products, plants, shrubs and trees!

A truly amazing place.

Had a wonderful wander round and then into the cafe which was equally lovely. Beautiful cakes and scones..definitely worth many visits.

A hidden gem. Tit feels like a visit to a long lost world where at the edge of the gardens you discover a great restaurant serving superb food.

"I first visited this garden centre about 7 years ago when visiting the area. There's the most wonderful range of plants, shrubs, trees and garden ornaments all set in a background of beautifully planted borders. Something for every keen gardener. The gardens gave a very tranquil feel about them. There's also a cafe/restaurant and shop. I would highly recommend a wander around here."

"My plants arrived this morning. I am delighted with them.

They are good quality plants, look very healthy and were packed so well there was no damage."

"Thank you so much for my plant delivery they have arrived in very good condition.

Well done to who ever packed them."

Thank you for my cornus kousa John Slocock, delivered safely today - and now planted.

"Lots of choices from a large selection of quality plants. If you love gardening it's worth a visit as they have many plants you won't find in your normal garden center. Also lots of planted areas so you can see the plants growing in situation which is helpful for seeing how they would look out of their pots!

Good cafe/restaurant with some lovely views of the gardens."

"My shrubs arrived today – the first day possible from the instructions I sent you. Not only are the shrubs of brilliant quality, with flower buds for next season already showing, but I am just astounded at the effort that had gone into your packaging.  The plants arrived in perfect condition. I will definitely want to order more plants from yourselves."
