Melbicks was opened in 2002 and it is definitely
has a very modern looking exterior.
It is a large garden centre and has a full range of plants, garden
accessories and other goods for sale.
This is a totally independent GardenAction opinion of Melbicks Garden Centre in the Birmingham area.
Melbicks garden centre is extremely large but finding your way round was no problem. Large overhead signs lead you clearly to all their departments.
PLANTS
The outdoor plant area was attractively designed and well kept with no plant debris lying around.
The plants looked healthy, well watered and in correct pot sizes.
The range of plants was good although not as large
as we would expect from a garden centre of this size.
All the normal plants were there and well signed. The range of fruit trees was good as the picture on the left illustrates.
All hardy plants came with a five year guarantee. There was no outdoor help centre but there was a help desk at the entrance to garden centre.
The website has an online shop but this does include any plants.
