One of the more annoying decisions taken by Wyevale Garden Centres was to rename almost all their garden centres after the town where they are sited. This annoyed more than the odd person because in some cases there were pre-existing garden centres already with that name. Woking Garden Centre is a case of this. Squires Woking Garden Centre pre-existed Wyevale Garden Centres garden centre of the same name but they ignored that fact and caused confusion whenever the name Woking Garden Centre is used.
This garden centre is medium sized and has a matching sized plants area. Its one distinguishing feature is a large covered area but, that aside, the layout follows the normal rather uninteresting GCG layout. This does however mean that the paths are relatively wide and of a solid surface making wheelchair access very easy.
The plants are all of good quality and hardy plants have a five year guarantee. The choice is adequate if rather soulless having no area of speciality to mark it out from many other garden centres.
The indoor sales area is a reduced down version of larger garden centres and just about jack of all trades but definitely master of none. The indoor plants, gifts, garden furniture and other departments are adequate but uninspiring. Maidenhead Aquatics do however provide a very good aquatics section and Pets Corner (no live pets) does a similarly good job.
The cafe was awarded the top five star rating for food hygiene in November 2012 by Woking Borough Council
