HOUSE PLANTS
OTHER FEATURES
The indoor shopping area was very comprehensive. Certainly larger than at most garden centres. The range of goods for sale was not limited to gifts.
Furniture was also available, as were books, cards, clothing, almost everything except electrical goods! There was an excellent kitchen shop and a large Food Hall. Often, this level of non-gardening goods is at the expense of plants. Not at this garden centre.
We were truly impressed when we viewed the art gallery at this
garden centre. A good range of pictures were for sale, each with
sufficient background information.
AQUATICS AND PETS
The only area which was not well-covered for a garden centre of this this size was aquatics and pets. There was a small shop which stocked a reasonable range of pet and fish accessories. There were no pets or fish for sale.
GARDEN CAFE
We had a light lunch at the cafe and were impressed by the
quality and range of the food on offer. The service was excellent
with no queues.
As the sign on the left states, over 90% of the food is produced in the cafe and locally sourced. It certainly tasted excellent.
Click the pictures and you will see that range of food is
extensive and excellently presented. As well as light lunches a good
range of main meals is on offer. The meat used for the roasts is
carved in front of you. This has to be the best garden centre cafe
we have visited to date.
DISABLED FACILITIES Almost all of both the indoor and outdoor areas were easily accessible for wheelchair users. Wheelchairs are available. Lots of effort has clearly been made to make this garden centre disabled-friendly.
TOILETS The toilets were clean and functional. Disabled toilets and baby changing facilities were available. There were no queues.
CAR PARKING
There was more than sufficient car parking which was on level
ground.

SUMMARY
The Burford Garden Company have created an inspiring garden centre. The
range of plants is extensive and well-kept. The non-gardening shopping
area is massive and makes for a good afternoon's shopping. The cafe is
the best we have seen so far. We recommend this garden centre highly.
