Ribblesdale is a fair size nursery with decorative stones/bark/compost to the front near the car park.
You walk through the quaint gift shop/garden accessories to the indoor plant section, which also has tubs, planters, garden features placed around. A quick look at some of the outdoor planters and I could see they were a fair price, along the lines of bigger garden centres.
On to the outdoors and you have a lovely selection of plants in the shaded section to the right as you come out.
Next to this you have the greenhouses for flowers, border plants, hanging baskets etc..
When we went they didn't have a massive amount in terms of bedding flowers as many of them were still in the growing greenhouse at the bottom but I still picked up marigolds, geraniums and verbenas for my beds.
They did have some beautiful hanging baskets ready to go, all different shapes and sizes.
The fruit trees and small trees came after the greenhouse, again these are well cared for.
After this there is a good selection of plants and shrubs on the lower section with plenty to look through.
What they lack in mass produced flowers, plants, shrubs or trees they make up for in good quality, well cared for plants that are thriving, rather than half dead!
Everything plant wise we bought on the day was well rooted and fair priced.
My plants have already shot up and have multiple flowers growing from them.
For me that's much better than the false economy of buying cheaper and having a game or roulette with which will survive!
The chap running the place was very helpful and let us know info about the plants, recommended extra items for them if needed.
No hesitation in going back, well worth a trip out to see.
Added some photos to show the plants when first planted and what they look like now
