The premier gardening information source
This is a totally independent GardenAction opinion of
the Notcutts Garden Centre, Booker. 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.
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. PRICES The prices were about average for this type of garden centre in this
area. The "economy spade" though at �17.99 was the cheapest we could
find. A bit expensive compared to others. Tell us if you can spot a
