REVIEW RESULTS - BROWNES GARDEN CENTRE
Brownes Garden centre is no flash in the pan! It has been in the
same family from 1808 when Emmanuel Brown (the spelling changed
along the way) established a nursery on the site. So far, eight
generations of the family have been involved in the business.
THE PLANTS DISPLAY AREA
 |
The plants are mainly laid out on the floor with some of
them being on slightly raised beds. The flooring is gravel and
it is hard enough to make access easy.
The plants themselves were in very good condition and
there was a good choice. Most people will find what they are
looking for. |
Prices are one of Brownes good points, they undercut the competition
in many areas. For instance their rose start at £6 which is
excellent value for a good quality plants. At Christmas time they
stock a very good choice of Christmas trees and seasonal
houseplants.
Lots of pots are also on show as is a massive selection of different
compost - an unusually large selection for a garden centre of this
size. There is also a small kiddies play area and an attractive pond
water feature,
INSIDE SALES AREA
They have a small to medium sized covered area which houses tender
plants and gardening accessories. The prices in this area were also
very competitive.
GARDEN ROOM CAFE
 |
There is a cafe in its own building at the far end of
the garden centre. This is a simple but very pleasant set up
in a light and airy room. They serve teas, coffees,
toasties and a superb range of cakes. All the food is
homemade and we thoroughly recommend this cafe for a quick
snack or a tea / coffee. They have an outdoor seating area
as well. |
