REVIEW RESULTS - WEST SOMERSET GARDEN CENTRE

THE PLANTS AT WEST SOMERSET GARDEN CENTRE

The plants area is medium to large-sized for a UK garden centre and it is has two separate areas. The covered area (about a quarter of the total area) houses tender plants and some gardening goods, it is fully paved.

The larger uncovered area is mainly gravel but it is well-compacted so it is fine for wheelchair access. The paths are not the widest we have seen but they still provide easy access around the plants area. There are large, easy to see signs to all the major plant groupings and the individual plant signs and labels contain helpful information. The planting instructions for the plant groups were particularly useful.

Plants are held in small bays which gives the area an interesting appearance. Centre displays, statues and pergolas all add further interest. We thought the use of trellis backing to the plants bays was particularly good, it broke up the area well.

The plants themselves were clearly well cared for although there is no plant guarantee offered at this garden centre. The range of plants was good, you will find all the old favourites here but as well, you will find some additional, rather unusual plant varieties. The bedding plants are grown on site as are many the trees and shrubs. Home grown plants always fare better when planted in the surrounding locality.

Prices are average, you are unlikely to find many bargains at the West Somerset Garden Centre, but neither will you be charged over the odds. For example, clematis start from £8.99, roses start at £8.50, Westland multipurpose is £5.99 for a 75 litre bag, Miracle Gro is £5, Tomorite is £4 for a 1 litre container.
