We have had our winter and summer baskets made by Roger at First Choice for nearly 20 years and without fail they have been second to none long lasting and good value for money. We dread the day he finally hangs up his trowel.His crew will be a hard act to follow!

I absolutely love this little garden centre. Nice selection of plants and pots as well as a lovely cafe and craft centre. We have had great fun painting ceramics and everything is reasonably priced

Lovely meal in Poppies cafe. 6 adult meals from all day breakfast, jacket potatoes toasties and sandwich. All enjoyed by the respective diner. Coffee which you can actually tast unlike the coffee we had earlier at Mottisfont House.Excellent service and great price.

Very friendly and helpful staff in the art and craft room. Very relaxing few hours spent painting small animals. Great range of products to either paint or decopatch. Highly recommend. You have to go back to pick up the painted items as they have to go in the kiln.

Very strange and unpleasant place. Plants were dead in the nursery. The cafe was appalling. Menu and decor is from the 1980?s. Sandwich and jacket potato filling combinations are not compatible. We were overcharged by £3.20 and had to request a refund when we realised their mistake. I asked for a caramel latte and got a caramel with a bit of latte. They don?t know the difference between butter and spread and seem not to have butter at all. Staff look extremely scruffy and are not very friendly. It wasn?t pleasant having a direct view into the kitchen watching the chap scratching his beard, rubbing his nose and face and then putting my crisps on the plate. Not worth bothering unless you enjoy wasting cash.

Like walking into a scene from the league of gentlemen.Really bizarrely outdated, overstaffed and under serviced.The cafe felt like it was decorated as a nursery.3 servers, 1 chef and 1....manager?But they're only serving tea and cake...oh and toast! Despite there being menus on every table, and a specials board on display.The tea was hot and good.The sugar bowl was dirty (see picture).The jam looked like brown sauce!The cakes seemed okay.There seemed to be a pottery class going on around the corner for about 20, which I guess gave rise to the grand necessity for 5 staff to make teas...

Plants, Pottery/decoration Inc deco-patch, Ice cream and a cafe as well. Plenty to see and do. I would recommend a visit, especially if you're seeking somewhere a little quieter to gather your thoughts.

Small but very good garden centre. Also a very good tearoom.

A great little nursery with a fantastic cafe and craft centre. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the plants they sell and the crafts they offer. We have been twice now with our kids and will definitely go again. The coffee and cakes from the cafe were great. The owner was able to answer my many questions on the plants they sold, guiding me to ones that would suit our garden best, and he was very patient with our kids whilst doing their footprints. Really lovely chap, makes such a difference!

Really lovely hidden gem. Has a cafe attached, which has seating covered from rain. There was a craft place which next time I plan to visit and try.
