Lady Green Garden Centre

Cant believe im writing another review of such difference. Previously had a lovely meal here so decided to go back and treat my daughters to a meal Missed the chefs special by 5 mins so had to order off the normal menu. The meal was brought to the table by a young man whos customer service skills were zero. He placed the meals on the table and walked away not uttering a single word.
Our meals were below avarage. Home made chips were frozen chunky chips. Horrible, still hard in middle and very pale, no colour what so ever. After a few minutes my daughter pushed her plate away, very upset, there was a black hair in her coleslaw.
I took the meal back asking for a refund. The manager came to say sorry and I showed him the uneaten chips. We were refunded for one meal and two portions of chips.
I had told my daughters how lovely the food was and felt so let down. I would go back { my daughters wouldnt } but only for the chefs special.

Lady Green Nurseries is a touch of class. Great surroundings and extremely well looked after grounds and a super selection of anything to do with gardening. The café is nice (if a bit pricey).
Lady Green is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

I have quite fond memories of Lady Green as a child as my sisters and I would be taken there by my Nan of a weekday in an attempt to keep us quiet whilst she walked around looking at all the plants and ornaments on show. Quite how we managed to be kept preoccupied by a garden centre I don’t know, but it seemed to work.
However, on returning to Lady Green recently I realised that perhaps there was more to it than just dismissing it as a garden centre. Firstly, the grounds themselves are huge, making for a hugely landscaped area to the extent that you sometimes forget you’re actually in a garden centre (unlike in B&Q and Homebase where you can never forget you’re just in a large shed). I guess it is this vastness that kept us all so busy during those times.
Secondly, whilst I’m not the biggest gardening enthusiast in the world (I’m not that old), there is a genuinely interesting selection of different displays and products on display to fascinate even the least green-​fingered of people.
There is also a lovely little coffee shop there which serves some nice homemade food, perfect for those days when the weather isn’t so pleasant and you have to rush inside for cover.

When I was told «you could spend a whole day at Lady Green», that it was «vast» and «stunning,» I was a little doubtful: it’s a garden centre; could it really be THAT good?
Bedding plants, hanging baskets and gnomes can only excite a person so much, but I went along open minded and was absolutely blown away. Lady Green is astonishingly beautiful. Initially, I was struck by the sheer scale of the place: 10 acres of land designed and manufactured to look as natural as possible. Walking around the grounds one can easily forget they are in a garden centre at all, far from B&Q or Homebase style trays of petunias and mass produced plant pots, Lady Green is landscaped with raised beds, pergolas, secret paths and even a large pond; reminiscent of a nature reserve with hundreds of bees guzzling nectar, birds darting in and out and rustling in the established trees and a mix of ducks of enjoying the secluded areas. Outdoors is remarkable and the indoor centre is just as impressive with a huge home-​ware and garden furniture section, a kitchenware section and everything else from clothes to greetings cards and gift wrap, children’s games to old fashioned sweets. At Christmas time a festive section is opened selling a range of exquisite decorative baubles and delicate ornaments and you can purchase a Christmas tree from the centre as well.
Lady Green really is stunning, and there is a wonderful atmosphere there; the staff are so friendly and clearly enjoy their job while the customers, most of whom I would describe as visitors rather than shoppers, are quite content wandering around, sitting in the various tranquil spots or dining in the café.

I have been to Lady Green probably about 100 times with my mother in
is a massive garden and house center that has just about everything you can think of. the last time we went was for a water feature and there was so much choice we were there for ages.
it is very clean and well laid out with hundreds of different plant s and lowers to choose from. The only negative i have ot say about lady green is that at Christmas they do a santas grotto which is always busy and we waited for about 50 minutes to see santa which is way to long for young children. Also is wasn’t decorated as well as other grotto’s we have been to .not impressed. They also sell lots of Christmas trees and they are beautiful so i would defo recommend them.
The staff at Lady green are lovely and i would really recommend them for their advice if you need as they seen to really know what they are talking about.
