Great selection of pots, plants are healthy, but the potting soil I bought here is infested fungus gnats
Bruno Vandelanotte
Groencentrum is a gardening shop and flower shop. Additionaly they have decoration items. The goods are from good quality and at normal pricing. Is not easy to get some information about some products.
Juan Verkeyn
Amazing gardening store in Bruges. Everything one can need for his/her indoor or gardening needs. Their offer changes throughout the year, so coming back every now and then leads to a whole new experience! Friendly staff as well, helped me in creating a beautiful valentine's day gift for my partner.

Fantastic place for plants and decoration in accordance. We went for Christmas ornaments and we were not disappointed. They have nice stof but really beautiful too by pdm, Burze and the fabulous belgian mark: Goodwill. Really worth the visit to enjoy the atmosphere and find plenty of ornaments and lighting
Virginia Lopez Cojo
Very nice with a great variety of plants and decoration but plants and pots are quite expensive. Only the flowers are more affordable cause they seem to cultivate them themselves.
