Vanstone Park Garden Centre

It a pretty good way to spend an afternoon even if you don't buy anything (good luck with that). There's a play area for kids and a mini train. It's very well laid out and the store has something for just about everyone.

Lovely place! We are new to the area and ended up here looking for a plant nursery. Surprisingly, it became our Sunday activity, featuring a lake with ducks, a caffe and a ride through the woods on a miniature train spotting gnomes. Will definitely come back!

Lovely garden centre for both shopping and a day out. My toddler enjoyed a train ride and the playground, as well as the ducks and geese. It's a lovely place, can easily spend a few hours and then grab a bite at the Orchards café.

Worst customer service I’ve experienced in a long while. Very good quality plants and products however very limited range. Staff where very rude, arrogant, gave conflicting information and weren’t at all helpful. I was really looking forward to visiting them but it’s unlikely I will again. Poor customer service, dated and unfriendly atmosphere.

Not Cutts garden centre in St Albans is so much better by miles and it’s further away but I’ll go there instead anytime.

Always find what I need here, whether plants, gardening accessory or a gift/game. Staff always helpful and knowledgeable. Hope they find someone to take on the restaurant/cafe as its sad that's not open any more (closed Sept 13th 2022).

The staff could not have been more helpful on my visit today: sorting out an issue with my vouchers, advice on the plant I was buying and to use root treatment to get it established. Also helped with loading the car :) Great selection of plants too, found just what I was after.

I took my granddaughters shopping here and they where looking at the children's story book each and there was a young male member of staff hovering over us I asked if he had a problem with the girls looking at the books with the intent to buy 1 each and I felt his presence was disturbing and I was being treated like a shop lifter I have been shopping at vanstone for 40 years and I have a loyalty card which I won't be using again disgusted with the service

Large garden centre split across two buildings. A good selection of plants, and a cafe on site. Looked a bit untidy in places hence 4/5 stars. Overall good, also dog friendly.
