I did promise to continue the tour of the garden centre last week
so shall walk a little further. Grab a drink...we going shopping..and it could take a while! All pics will enlarge if you click on them!
Update - Just had e-mail to say that they are shutting their doors to customers but that plants and animals will be looked after until they re-open
I didn't see any of these on our last trip in the outside area.
Lots of baskets by the door of the gardening area..
...lots of seed packets...
...tools and bins, and on to home and clothing...
Now, to one of my favourite areas....
Oh! and its here I will point out my ticket to T Stands for Tuesday the Weetwood Ales are made by a small local brewery. They have interesting names.
Finally there is this temptation on the way to the tills!
The sign at the back that says 'The Kitchen' is where the coffee shop and restaurant are.
I hope that this has been an enjoyable visit - we will miss browsing shops for the next few months so feel free to come back here for another look anytime!
If you want a smile take a look at my previous post at what was found by one of my boys the other day and put onto Instagram!
Thanks for looking, Chris
Fabulous, it was so much fun looking around the garden centre with you 😊. Take care and sending Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge shop. I love browsing garden centres and home stores. No chance of even getting to a store in the next few weeks, but Nathalie did my shopping today, bless her, so I am well stocked up. Life has changed rapidly, and it won't be back to normal for some time, so we have to make the best of it. I'm enjoying lots of reading time. Stay safe, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWow this is just the best garden shop that I have ever seen, so much selection-I would be shopping there for sure hugs Happy T and stay well hugs Kathy
ReplyDeleteIt looks a fabulous garden centre Chris and somewhere we will all miss visiting, I was just thinking we'll be short of plants for the garden this year.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, Avril xx
wow- this is one fantastic garden shop!!! Absolutely something for everyone...and those napkins- be still my heart- I'd want em all:):) Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThat garden center is _huge_! I'd enjoy spending a few hours there. I might get lost ;) Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI'm SO in love with that garden center. I would NOT make it out of there without spending more than I wanted to (grin). All so very tempting, too. The boys aren't so sure about wood chips for litter, though. They prefer what they have.
ReplyDeleteLoved the look around and enjoyed the beer you shared, too. Thanks for taking us one final time to the garden center before it was eventually shut down. Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos and the beer you shared for T this Tuesday, dear friend.
WOW!! that place is amazing! I'd need a big cart and end up with a light wallet walking out of there.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen such an amazing garden center! It certainly has a little bit of everything. My favorite is that beautiful wicker egg chair and the decor section. And the cheese would definitely be a weakness of mine! YUM!
ReplyDeleteI loved going on the tour with you.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
It was fun to shop without having to worry about being 6 feet away from people or catching a virus. That garden center was making me drool too. Spring just doesn't want to come to New Hampshire. I hope you had a super T day and are still washing your hands. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteChris I enjoyed the visit, can't believe what garden centres in England sell nowadays! I love all those animals and lovely garden furniture, we were going to replace ours this year, not sure when that will be exactly but the old ones will have to do for now.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, I'm late posting, we were busy sweeping water from our tiled garden, it was like a second swimming pool around the swimming pool, sunny today though so it's all good;

Wow, that place has a great selection of items! I liked several of those statues but you're right: some of them would scare off the birds coming to my bird feeder. Connecticut US animal rehabilitation centers have put into place contingency plans, to care for the animals they have. (That didn't even occur to me, that it also needed to occur, during a situation like this one.) Happy belated T-Day!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the trip around the garden centre with you Chris. It does look like a place I would love to visit and browse, We will miss these places as the weeks go by, but it necessary to do as we are told.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and well.

Thank you for taking me through the garden centre. I do so miss the large English garden centres. I used to spend a day there with a girl friend (or two) and we would have coffee or lunch even and wander around the clothes area, get inspiration in the craft area (and spend, spend). Also the gift department is always very nice. Many a gift came from a garden centre.
ReplyDeleteStay safe dear friend,
Happy (belated) T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
That is a place a person could wander half the day! Wow!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Stay safe! :)
Thank you for the window shopping fix, Chris. Your garden center is amazing!
ReplyDeleteStay safe and well.
Happy T-day! Eileen xx
What a fabulous garden centre! So much to see in all the various departments. We have a similar one a little way off, but lots of it is rather overpriced. We only buy things during the sales!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we did our dash to Homebase to pick up compost and seeds before everything shut down... our first little seedlings are just unfurling in the kitchen, less than 72 hours after planting... it's so satisfying. And will hopefully add to the food supplies in a few weeks' time.

Oh my gosh, I want to go to this store! I want a bunch of those outdoor animals - how fun! It is good this store is a long way from me or it would be costly for me. TFS!!!
