REVIEW RESULTS - GRIFFINS GARDEN CENTRE

Griffins is a medium to large sized garden centre in Dripsey near Cork. They sell a good range of plants which are attractively displayed. The view from the outdoor seating area of the cafe is the best we have ever seen.

THE OUTSIDE AREA
This is split into two sections, the first being a large covered area which is a riot of colour in spring and summer time. The uncovered area is very attractively arranged with lots of centre pieces and short aisles to provide interest. The paths are wide, clear and paved.

Unusually, the plant display holders were circular rather than the more normal oblong, the effect was excellent for such a minor change to the normal.

DISPLAY GARDEN
New in 2011 are 13 attractively designed display gardens in the outside area. We haven't visited these yet but reports we have received show that they are an inspiration to the amateur and more experienced gardeners. A picture of one of the displays appears above in the right hand column.

THE PLANTS
The plant selection is good with all the common plants well represented. The plants themselves have obviously been well cared for and look in very good condition. At the time we visited the display garden was undergoing a change but even so it looked particularly impressive.

Unusually, Griffins Garden Centre stock a good range of larger plants and some quite substantial trees. These are always costly but if you want immediate effect in your garden, this is the garden centre to visit. Statues and water features are another speciality at reasonable prices

INSIDE GRIFFINS GARDEN CENTRE
Griffins stock a reasonable range of garden related goods in the interior sales area but they stock a large amount of non-gardening goods, many slightly unusual.

They currently have no club  / reward membership at this garden centre.

DISABLED ACCESS
Good all round with large wide paths.

OTHER STUFF
Car park - Large enough and on flat ground next to the entrance.
Pet Centre - Not noted.
Aquatics - Not noted.
Water Features - Yes, a good selection.
Sheds and Greenhouses - A selection of greenhouses..
Toilets - Ladies, gents and disabled facilities in good condition.
