  I wish I had taken pictures, you have to see it to believe it. This was the third or fourth time I've visited this garden centre. If the main reason you are going is the indoor plants, Christmas decorations or pet food, etc., then it is fine - not great but does the job. If, however, you are visiting for the outdoor plants - I would avoid it like the plague. It really feels like it's been abandoned and no one cares. There are broken pots, broken paths, fallen plants that look like they have been there for weeks. There are plants in full water trays that are not bog plants, clearly been left there for a very long time, judging by what is growing in the tray! There is an undercover roofed area that for as long as I have known it, has been so covered in algae it's almost dark under there. Why can this not be cleaned? Why can't the litter be picked up? Why can't dead plants be removed and old rotting flowers and leaves be tidied? Really, it looks like no one cares, which is a shame. As I told the owner today, it could be really lovely - he told me I should shop elsewhere!
