The outdoor plants area at Haddenham Garden Centre is a series of straight paths separated by plants. Uninteresting and unlikely to inspire. The size of the area is smaller than many independent garden centres in comparison to the indoor sales area.

The plants themselves looked healthy and well cared for although no hardy plants guarantee was offered.

There were no overhead signs to direct you to plant groups but the smallish size of the plants area didn't make this a problem. They stock the common plants that the average gardener would need. Several of the plants were not priced which was confusing.

NOTE: Price comparisons are based on the prices we find at the time of our visit. We compare to them average prices in the same year as the date of the review.

The cafe appears to have been opened or refurbished recently. The design is simple but attractive with wooden beam and support features. The tables and chairs are solid wood with a paving floor.

Possibly because the cafe is new, there were very few people in it when we visited which is a pity. The fare on offer is restricted to cakes, snacks and drinks.

We tried a couple of the cakes and a coffee. They were all excellent. Everything is served to your table which is very unusual. The staff were pleasant, friendly and efficient.

The indoor sales area stocked a good range of gardener's needs. At the far end was a gift shop area.
To one side there was a relatively large area given over to wooden indoor furniture. Unusual for a small garden centre.
