EVESHAM GARDEN CENTRE |

REVIEW RESULTSEvesham Garden Centre is part of the blue Diamond Group who are the third largest garden centre retailer in the UK after Wyevale Garden Centres and Dobbies.
THE PLANTS AREA The paths are pleasantly wide and there were no obstructions. The whole area was tidy and well kept. A small part of the outdoor area offered rain protection but most is simply open to the elements.
THE PLANTS The quality of the plants was high with all of them in good health, well watered and weed free. We recommend the plants highly and with the large range you will find almost all you need here. Prices were average to slightly lower than normal. Clematis started at a reasonable £7.99, roses at £6.99, hebes at £8.99 and a 70 litre bag of own brand compost at £4.99. There were lots of staff in the plants area so you can easily obtain advice if you require it.
INSIDE EVESHAM GARDEN CENTRE If houseplants are on your shopping list then Evesham Garden Centre have a good range of top quality plants to choose from. They are well displayed and the prices are about average. There are some good bargains to be had - we saw 2 African violets on offer for only £5. There is a huge array of non-gardening goods on sale including gifts, cards, books, clothing and lots more. The overall feel of the inside sales area is pleasant and it's quite possible to browse here for an hour or two. The whole area is clean and well kept.
DISABLED ACCESS
APPLE BARN RESTAURANT / CAFE The cafe is very large seating over a hundred diners. The atmosphere is pleasant and well decorated - no exposed metal ceiling beams here. Everything is very clean and tidy. Not only is there a full range of food on offer but at the Evesham Garden Centre cafe high quality goes with it as well. There is an outside seating area although when we visited in March it was, not unsurprisingly, closed. The other key indicator to the quality of a garden centre cafe is the number of customers. Even at non-peak times, this cafe is busier than most others, a good sign. There were no queues and the cafe staff were very pleasant.
OTHER STUFF
SURROUNDING AREA AT EVESHAM GARDEN CENTRE First for kids there are several activities such as the railway and pottery making. For adults there is a large range of shops including a very large Millets Outdoor shop. It's probably best if you visit their website yourself so we give the link here.
