The house plants for sale were in good condition and the range
available was excellent. Some attempt had been made to group the indoor plants logically but in practical terms the grouping was for display purposes rather than by growing conditions. |
OTHER FEATURES
|
A comprehensive range of gifts, cards and garden accessories are
available which will not disappoint. The range of indoor and
outdoor furniture was exceptionally good.
We found the Hoobycraft shop on site particularly good. It was, by far, the largest Hobbycraft we have seen at a garden centre. |

 |
The Bridgemere Gardens are made up of eight separate gardens, each
designed for a specific purpose. The easy maintenance garden is
there, as well as the shrub garden, water garden (see left) plus
others. The vast majority of the plants are clearly labelled. If you see one you like, it's probably available at the garden centre. Entrance is free. |
|
AQUATICS AND PETS
 |
The
aquatics centre was very large with a huge variety of all
types of fish available. Also included was an excellent display of
water features (see right). The pet and equestrian centre was well equipped with lots for sale. No live pets were offered for sale. |
 |
CAFE
 |
There are two cafes at Bridgemere Garden World, we sampled the larger one. On offer was a full range of cakes, snacks, coffees and teas. Main meals were also on offer (see right). The food was home cooked, excellent quality and well presented. |
 |
The cafe itself was pleasantly laid out and there were no queues even at peak hours. From the number of people in the cafe, it is clear that it has a good reputation with the locals. The prices were average for a garden centre cafe, but we would describe them as good when the quality of the food is taken into account.
DISABLED FACILITIES
Bridgemere is a large garden centre and they have laid it out extremely
well for wheelchair use. The paths were wider than normal and were all
flat and uncluttered. Wheelchairs are available at the front entrance
for no cost.
TOILETS
There were disabled and baby changing facilities. They were clean and
well kept with no queues.
CAR PARKING
The car park was on flat ground with lots of spaces.

SUMMARY
Bridgemere is one of the largest garden centres in the UK and stocks a
huge range of good quality plants and garden accessories. Service is
good, with the advice centre being staffed even in January. The
Bridgemere Gardens are impressive, inspirational and the majority of
plants are labelled. The cafe serves good quality food at reasonable
prices. Our only concern is the lack of an advertised hardy plant
guarantee.
