Moreton in Marsh Garden Centre

This review is for the garden centre at Moreton in Marsh. Fortunately for me, I live within 5 miles of this garden centre and put simply, I cannot praise it enough. The staff are consistently helpful, knowledgeable, patient and kind. This extends to the delivery driver who willingly helps with the orders and offers advice if needed. Moreover, the quality of the products (in the main for the garden) is very good (food and clothing fare well too) and all competitively priced. The layout of the shop , both inside and out is conducive to browsing , selecting and paying for the purchases and is a joy to wonder around unhindered. Well done and thank you from a very frequent visitor.

Beware buying goods on display

We bought garden furniture and a cantilevered parasol (total £1898). The parasol (the last one on the shop floor) was delivered part assembled, with no instructions or original packaging/model no. and tools comprising two different sized screws and one Allen key. On contacting Blue Diamond for assembly information I was told they’d try & get the instructions (which they failed to do) or I could contact Norfolk leisure. The latter sent instructions via email but when it still wouldn’t function we visited the manufacturer ourselves where it transpired the rotating base plate wasn’t recognised - ‘not one of ours’ and needed replacing which they kindly did. We were also missing the large Allen key and a screw which Norfolk Leisure also rectified. In addition the showroom price for customers at Norfolk Leisure was £24 cheaper than Blue Diamond - very unsatisfactory experience for a parasol costing £399

Our party of "Ladies who lunch" had a lovely luncheon at the World’s End Garden Centre today. We were very well looked after by Lynn. The ladies were delighted when I told them aboutthe kind offer of cake and tea after our lunch.
The World’s End Garden Centre will certainly be one of our favoured lunch time venues.

Frosts garden centre in Woburn Sands is a wonderful place to visit.

Frosts garden centre in Woburn Sands never disappoints. It's a superb place to visit whether you want to browse the many plants and flowers on offer, eat and drink in the restaurant, visit the lovely shop for artisan bread, fruit and veg, specialist cheeses and chutneys etc. or just pop in to quickly pick something up, it's always a lovely experience. Staff are helpful, knowledgeable and approachable and very polite and professional. You can easily spend a couple of hours here as there's so much to see. I can't recommend it enough.

Percy Throwers, Shrewsbury

Our nearest Blue Diamond centre is Percy Throwers in Shrewsbury. It is so warm and welcoming. The staff and friendly and knowledgeable and always give freely of their time and advice. The restaurant is fantastic too. We rarely make a visit without stopping for lunch or a coffee & cake. Can't recommend them highly enough for all your gardening needs, and much more besides.
