Terrible Online Order

I ordered online and was given a confirmation email that showed my billing address and free delivery.

I then get an email implying that I wanted to collect from store and them claiming the address was blank... Despite it being in the confirmation email.

In this day and age I'd really expect an online order to be fairly foolproof so I won't be returning.

I had a wonderful experience during my recent visit to the garden centre, thanks to the fantastic service provided by Neil and Katherine. They were both incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do.
It’s rare to come across such attentive and dedicated staff. Neil and Katherine made my visit a real pleasure. I left not only with beautiful plants but also with confidence in how to care for them. Highly recommend this garden centre.

Autumn pruning and tidying

Jamie and his team gave my garden a good tidy up and pruning in the autumn. They could not have been more helpful knowledgeable and efficient. Great team and the garden looks so much better and manageable!
All for a very reasonable price too

I love Lancaster's

I love Lancaster's. Friendly, local, human, helpful, what's not to like. Great pots and plants. I also like to share a joke with the sales team. Only problem is, I spend more money there than anywhere.

Local and trusted company

Very helpful staff and always quick delivery.I've been shopping here for over a decade and thanks to Lancasters I have a thriving garden with lovely pots and plants.
My 2 signature large pots of golden bamboo and an olive tree are beautiful specimens that typify the quality that Lamcasters supply.
A local company I can trust and just a 2 stop hop on the train when I fancy a wander around the garden centre.

Great garden centre, shame about the customer service

I love Lancasters, they have a huge range of flowers and plants, and I have spent a fortune there. Their emails and website are very informative and make me want to visit. However, whenever I drop in and ask for advice, as I'm not a very confident gardener, I am let down by the less than interested sales staff. You'd expect staff in a garden centre to have some basic knowledge about the plants they sell, but they are just not engaging. Shame!

Hi Katia,

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review and also for your custom, it's great to hear that people are enjoying the variety of products we stock both in our shop and online.

I'm very sorry to hear that you've not had a good encounter with our in-store sales staff. At Lancasters, we always aim to provide the best customer service possible, whether this is carrying heavy coal/compost to cars or sharing advice on indoor/outdoor plants.

Each one of our team will have different levels of experience in the horticultural world. For example if you run into one of our delivery drivers or logistical staff they wouldn't be able to tell you as much as the garden/indoor specialists, who have either worked with plants for over 20 years or have qualifications in garden design/horticulture. If any one of us isn't able to help, we should be able to hand you over to someone who can.

It's disappointing for us that you've not felt the enthusiasm that our team has for gardening. If you would like to elaborate on your experience in the shop, how we could improve this side of our service or if you need any advice, please email us at inbox@lancastersonline.com

All the best,
The Lancasters Team

Garden Overhaul

Joe and his team turned our front and back gardens from a wilderness into something we can actually use! They were polite, knowledgeable and accommodating. The fencing, landscaping, lawn and paving work was all delivered to a very high standard. We are very pleased and can recommend them without hesitation.

Fencing and Tree work..

We needed a fence replacing and two sycamore trees reducing. Joe, Jamie and their teams were excellent and we are very pleased with their work. Professional, friendly, tidy and punctual.
They did exactly what they said they would do at the time and at the price that they quoted.
Would happily recommend.

Superb Job at a Very Reasonable Price

I have a large oak tree in my front garden which was overhanging into the road and needed to be cut back. I discussed the work that was needed with a number of tree surgeons, but Joe was by far the most professional. He was extremely pro-active communicating progress from start to finish and was the most reasonably priced. He explained how far the tree's branches needed to be cut back and said that he would be happy to liaise with the local council on my behalf in order to ensure everything was done properly. Joe notified me when the council approved the work and did an excellent job. He and his colleagues were polite, efficient and extremely professional. They cleared up beautifully when the work was complete. I would have no hesitation recommending Lancasters and would be very happy to use them again in the future.

My order has arrived fairly quickly

My order has arrived fairly quickly, everything in perfect condition and no excess packaging. I like that this company doesn’t charge extra fee for delivery of compost and the prices are reasonable.
