Tracie   10 #1 Posted August 26, 2006 This thread is for forummers to recommend their favourite local garden centre or nursery.  I don't drive, so it's rare that I get to take a trip out to a garden centre (other than B&Q!) but when I do, I like Markham Grange in Brodsworth, Doncaster. It's a bit of a drive from Sheffield but well worth it - as well as the main nursery, there's a large pet shop and a branch of Viscum Water Gardens (pond supplies stockist) on site.  I'm familar with Markham Grange because I lived in Doncaster for three years, and I don't really know which are the best garden centres in Sheffield yet, so I'm looking forward to hearing your top tip!

torin8 Â Â 10 #4 Posted September 7, 2006 I would have to recommend the Nursery in Old Brampton (Chesterfield) - the are only small but have a great range of plants and they are cheap as chips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
irenewilde   10 #5 Posted September 22, 2006 I like Rhinegold out past Wisewood Cemetery. It's a huge place, selling gifts as well as plants and garden sundries. Loxley Nurseries, nearby, always seemed to be in a state of chaos and I could never find anything I wanted there but I called in a few weeks ago and it's transformed! I found plants there that Rhinegold didn't have and they seem to concentrate more on the garden-based stuff, rather than scented candles! So between them I reckon you could get everything you wanted!

Chumley   10 #10 Posted September 29, 2006 The guy who sits in the hut at High Peak Garden Centre is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, not to mention very enthusiastic.  They have a good selection as well, although I don't claim to be an expert.  If you're not buying anything too heavy, you could always get the train to Bamford.
