An absolutely fantastic opportunity to spend a relaxing day, either shopping or having a delicious meal or coffee,well worth a visit.

Lovely garden centre with a decent selection of indoor and outdoor plants. There’s also a good section for locally produced edible goods. Outside towards the back there is a nice aquarium with accessories for both indoor and outdoor setups. There’s a bit of everything here for all garden types. Well worth a visit.

Great find, a beautiful independent garden centre, always shopped with Dobbies but this place offers so much more from the personal service to the way the whole place is set out, its a pleasure to walk round. Great cafe & restaurant too.

Kev Radford

One of the better garden centres. Nicely laid out, reasonably priced and good quality plants and homewares. Good cafe too.

I’d just like to say a huge thank you. yesterday my mum and I visited with my 5 year old daughter. It was our intention to look around and grab a coffee. Instead my daughter was surprised to see Santa. I’d just like to say that having seen Santa many many times he “was the real one” he was amazing! it was a lovely touch and very generous. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, we enjoyed a lovely morning out.

Friendly helpful staff, huge variety of garden plants, (spent far too much ?) garden decor and outdoor living furniture. Lovely cafe, good food and plenty of space. Busy when I was there but service was still quick and food well presented. Dog friendly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ No steps so suitable for anyone a little unsteady on their feet. Toilets available.

Our first time out for lunch for well over a year, Palmer’s was our favourite place back then and we’ve been desperate to get back. We both felt very safe: one way system, staff all with visors, tables well apart from each other, the usual lovely food, separate ordering, serving and clearing staff. Nice to see how the tables and chairs were cleaned after customers left. All very reassuring.

‘To my mind Palmers is the best garden centre for miles around. I always find something new for the home & garden and the staff are a pleasure to deal with – always friendly and helpful too. I always try to leave without eating a cake in the café but I haven’t managed it yet!’
