Garden Centres near Amersham

 Anyone got a garden centre to recommend within about an hours drive from
Beaconsfield/Amersham, which might interest a fairly new gardener?

I only know nurseries really and can't think of good GC's apart from
Worlds End near Wendover , Little Heath in Berkhamsted ( a true nursery)
and Ayletts near St Albans. All of which she has visited frequently.


I have been asked to suggest somewhere for two beginner gardeners who
also want to eat there:)

There's a garden centre at Playhatch between Caversham and Henley but I
don't know whether there's a café/restaurant.

Oh yes I know David, just before the turn off for Woodley, Got lots of
greenhouses etc. Used to have a fabulous Farm shop but no longer
apparently.

Thanks for the reminder.

About 4 years since I used any of these

Two general centres

One a bit more specialised - we had several trees from them which thrived.

Thanks Graham, tried Flowerland though now more arts and crafts and
'stuff' than plants and forgot about the Marlow Garden centre, I think
we might go off to Toad Hall as that is really good for plants and then
I'll be dragged off to one with a good place to eat
...................... sigh...............

Just looked at Marlow one 2.75 for a mince pie!! I've just made 36 for
the gym, wonder if I ought to sell them instead?
