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!

A lovely crafty morning down at Poppies painting bowls. Staff were both friendly and helpful, explaining the process to us. The coffee and cake afterwards in the cafe were delish. Can't wait to see our bowls once they have been glazed and fired.

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.

Exceptional home grown plants (I should know, I used to own a garden business) run by a very entertaining guy literally- who plays the recorder (no you're not tripping!) Lovely cafe but the big draw are the plants for the quality and expert advice from the owner and staff. Happy to pay a little extra to support a small business and recommend 👌
