What makes it 60% Kids-Friendly: Kids can explore colours and textures, ask staff questions, and build fairy or succulent gardens, but no play zone or child toilets means ongoing supervision; confirm workshop age limits first.

Would totally recommend.

If you're looking for plants, trees, cedars or garden ornaments or planters they have a great selection. Their plants and trees are also of excellent quality. Good parking. They had a great selection of tall emerald cedars today.
In spring, spot vibrant annual displays. In summer, see lush tropical plants. In fall, check mums and pumpkin décor. In winter, look for holiday wreath demos.
