Located between Kettering and Northampton on the A43 Woodmeadow Garden Centre has been running under its current owners for two years. There has been a nursery / garden centre on this site from as far back as 1984. At present the garden centre is fully established but at the same time still developing.

The design of the exterior of the plants area is in a basic nursery style with many of the plants laid out at ground level. They stock a range of shrubs, roses, bedding plants, ornamental and fruit trees, climbers - everything you would expect from a good garden centre. Because the design is still being formalised it's a bit like an open aladdin's cave and that makes it interesting for browsing.

The garden centre has a showcase area for Taylors Garden Buildings, in fact they appear to be one and the same company. The display of sheds, seats, summer houses and other buildings is larger than you would expect from a garden centre of this size although Taylors stock far more online than they display here. If you are looking for garden buildings in the Northampton area then Woodmeadow Garden Centre is a good place to start.

At Christmas they stock a very large choice of trees and supply several of the local schools. They also stock synthetic trees, wreaths, decorations and Christmas lights.

THE WOODMEADOW TEA SHOP

Whilst this is most definitely a Tea Shop and not a cafe, it provides an excellent range of snacks including cakes which are baked on the premises. The tea shop was awarded a five star rating for food hygiene in April 2016 by Daventry District Council. Click here for the full report.
