Visit websiteView menuTranquil garden adjacent to the nursery, you can lose yourself for a couple of hours with no effort. My favourite spot is around the wildflower beds. Mustn't overlook the splendid cafe made special by its attentive staff.
A really good find! I arrived in time for a late lunch which included a made-to-order sandwich with a choice of bread. Seating was either inside or outside round a pond teeming with fish - in the shade or sun. The RHS partner garden was well worth the visit; it is made up of many 'rooms' and larger areas of planting of different types from formal to wild flower to heather with standing stones. Will definitely try to go again to see what it looks like at a different time of year.
My Grandad use to work here around 10 years ago before he unfortunately passed away. We were so lucky to have a bench with my Nan and Grandad’s names on placed in their lovely gardens, as we all spent a lot of time here when I was very young. We spoke to a member of staff as I haven’t seen the bench for ages, Sue was very helpful and showed us where it was. So grateful to of seen our bench again❤️
Lovely garden centre to wander round. Great restaurant with plenty of seating inside and out. Outside seating around the large pond was very relaxing. Plenty to browse at in the shop. Only thing I would say is the price to look around the garden area was a bit steep. If it had been around £5 I would have paid it but £8.50 I thought was too much
A real hidden gem in Wareham. Just stumbled across it whilst searching for a local garden centre but this is much much more. It has 15 acres of open gardens with different themes to explore. There is a pond with chairs to sit down and chill. It is very inspirational for ideas in the garden. There are so many plants to admire, you can easily spend half a day here. We look forward to visiting again later in the year when more plants are in season. There is also a lovely cafe. Access to the gardens is reasonably priced at £8.50pp. This is a wonderful place to spend a few hours. It is also dog friendly. Highly recommended. Will definitely return.
