Blooms Garden Centre, West Swindon
Blooms garden centre is just off Junction 16 of
the M4 and is on the Studley Grange Craft Village site. This whole
site has lots to do for adults and kids in Swindon.

It was raining when we visited Blooms garden centre
in Swindon so we were glad to find that an unusually large portion
of the outdoor plant area was under cover. Excellent for our British
weather. The plants were all healthy and the range was large. You
are very likely to find exactly the plants you want at Blooms.
There were very few signs in the
outdoor area so, although the range of plants is large, locating
them is difficult. The garden centre has an outdoor plant
information centre which is staffed in peak times of the gardening
year. PRICES
