Here at Summerhill Garden Centre we take pride in having such an eclectic display of hardy plants.

Pip's Top Tip

Always water plants for the garden well before planting. A prolonged soak in a bucket of water is the best way to prepare hardy plant before planting.

Customer Comments

We love hearing from our customers. We pride ourselves on our outstanding service and it’s wonderful to hear of the experiences our customers have had whilst shopping in the garden centre.

Great garden centre with huge selection of products. Unusual gift ideas and fantastic aquatic section that puts most pet shops to shame. Kids would love just seeing the huge collection they have and keeps them occupied and interested. Well worth a visit and spend time browsing for ideas.

Brilliant, lots of amazing things for the garden...not just plants and trees... Could spend hours there...

Excellent service wanted advice on specific plants, the man really knew his stuff and helped me choose exactly what I wanted. Whole new range of impressive stock. Highly recommend.

I have to say nothing was too much for the staff at this shop, not only did they take down displays and box them for me they also took them to the till waiting until id walked around the shop as they were extremely heavy, they were helpful polite and adhered to safety of every customer, it was a pure delight even for a casual walk around inside and outside areas, with added sunshine and a few bargains to boot.. take a trip if you’re looking for new ideas or an hour to kill ...

A truly lovely garden centre.. very clean, tidy and have a very healthy selection of plants, trees, and shrubs. Staff are polite and knowledgeable.

OMG what an amazing two visits over the weekend. Beautiful healthy massive variety of plants, flowers, garden and barbecue accessories to choose from. Silk fake plants look amazingly real. Although a little on the expensive side everything is worth it. No quibble about returning items either. Excellent well-mannered and very helpful staff on hand to help with questions and lifting of heavy items. Definitely recommend and no doubt at all that I will be going back this weekend.
