Garden Centre Reviews
This is a totally independent GardenAction opinion of
Brookfields Garden Centre in the Nottingham area. Click any
picture to enlarge it. PLANTS AREA
The outdoor plants area is partially covered (about 20%) mainly for
seasonal plants. the layout is reasonably pleasant with some straight paths but some
displays to break the monotony. Some main paths were bricked but the majority were
reasonably solid gravel. The selection of plants was good as was their quality and general condition.
INDOOR SALES AREA
The indoor sales area had a good range of gifts, garden furniture and general
gardening accessories. There was also a good Food Hall with a good range of
delicatessen type food. In common with some modern garden centres the metal beams
were exposed, but for some reason it was more oppressive and obvious in Brookfields
Garden Centre. CAFE
The cafe was also affected by the metal beams, not the best environment.
It was a basic layout made more attractive by the pictures and decorations. The tables
and chairs were of basic plastic design but the whole area was kept scrupulously clean.

Brookfields Garden Centre
Annoyingly, for the whole hour or so we were at the garden centre, portions of the
plants area were inaccessible because a couple of sprinklers were watering the plants
and the paths. This was late morning to midday.
There was a variety of hot potatoes, sandwiches, toasties, cakes, coffees and teas. The
prices were average with the food quality being slightly above average.
None.
A large aquatics centre with live fish, pond plants and accessories.
Yes.
A small display at the entrance.

generally good all round.
Monday to Saturday 9am to 5.30pm
Sunday 10.30am to 4.30pm
A modern garden centre slightly let down by the unsightly metal beams. Aside from the
aquatics centre nothing really sets this garden centre apart from the average competition.
