PLANTS

The plant area at Notcutts is large and attractively designed. In keeping with the inside sales area, the outdoor area is not just a boring criss-cross of paths. The different areas are compartmentalised to a certain degree making it a pleasant place to wander round. The paths are wide and flat, sufficiently so for wheel chair access in most areas.
A special mention goes to the helpful, approachable and knowledgeable staff at this garden centre.


Good, clear signs at notcutts. With a large outdoor plant area it's essential to have clear signs so that you can find the plants you want. Notcutts have done a very good job in this respect. The signs are large and high up making them clearly visible.

In addition to good signs, the plant groups are arranged alphabetically.


All the plants you would like for your garden are at Notcutts. In particular the range of roses was extensive.
Fencing, compost and other needs are here also with a huge separate sales area devoted to plant pots.
