Outside area at Weaver Vale Garden Centre
LAYOUT: As you walk out of the interior sales space you enter a covered area for more tender plants. The covering is over an unusually large area for a garden centre of this size - good new if it is raining.
The layout was good with wide, solid and level paths. Access to all areas is excellent.
VALUE FOR MONEY: A good proportion of the roses were priced at £14 and the cheapest clematis we saw was £16. Overall the prices were marginally cheaper compared to other garden centres in the area.
SIZE: Medium to large
LAYOUT: Good access around all of the interior sales area. It sells all the typical garden centre goods that you would expect. There as a particularly good selection of indoor plants and garden furniture. They stock lots of home ware and you will also find a good choice of gardening accessories.
Although the area was tidy and clean, it's clear that they suffer significantly with leaks from the roof. On rainy days you need to be careful where you walk if you don't want the ceiling dripping water on you.
