Wonderful Easter holiday event…

Wonderful Easter holiday event decorating plant pots and saucers. Grandchildren aged 5 and 9 years thoroughly enjoyed decorating the pots then being taken through the steps in planting and propagating sunflower seeds. In addition they decorated but houses. Event included refreshments and a piece of fruit. The yurt is a tranquil environment. So many goodies to take home to give lasting memories.

Easter pot decorating with my 2 year old granddaughter was just great!
Staff were friendly and welcoming and explained to Immy what she should do, they were on hand offering advice and refreshments during the session. She loved it! Would highly recommend.

Good morning, I'm sorry you didn't receive the drink you were expecting. This certainly isn't up to our standards and I hope you raised this on the day so a member of staff could rectify it for you?

Please feel free to reach out to me on jamie.armstrong@stpetersgc.co.uk and I would be happy to see if there is something we can do to make this right.

Thanks,

I booked this course for my mums birthday. The course was cancelled but I only found out this through a friend who was also doing the course. I did not receive an email from St Peter’s informing me and had to make contact myself. Had my friend not informed me then we would have attended on the day. I had also already told my mum about her gift attending the terrarium course so she was disappointed and cannot make the next available one.

Hi Lydia,
I'm really sorry for this, it was an unfortunate situation where Jonny who hosts our workshops couldn't make it. I've just checked the list I downloaded from of our system of the people we needed to contact and you are right your name isn't on there and I'm not sure why, so I apologise for this.
I would have loved to have been able to get you on future workshops and we're working on adding more dates, so please let me know if you'd like to attend one of these in the future and I would happily let your Mum book on for free. Let me know on jamie.armstrong@stpetersgc.co.uk
Thanks,

Beware Dog Owners

A first visit to this garden centre today, with our 2 little well behaved dogs. We walked around the outside area to start with to try ensure there were no accidents inside. We are always respectful of our surroundings and would NEVER knowingly allow our dogs to urinate inside.
However, on leaving the premises today, my daughter was rudely approached by a member of staff, clutching a roll of tissue paper, saying that our little poodle had urinated and that she was having to clean it up. My adult daughter was spoken to like a 'naughty child' and was left feeling very upset and humiliated. Obviously in a dog friendly environment, it is inevitable that accidents may happen! My daughter had no idea that this had happened and that obviously we were being watched around the centre. Just a warning to other dog owners. The first and last time we will be visiting!

Hi Karen,
I'm sorry for what you experienced on your first visit to us, this is absolutely not the experience we want to give people. It sounds like a very unfortunate situation and I'm sure it could have been dealt with better by the member of staff who approached you at the time, so for this I apologise. We are dog friendly and pride ourselves on this and we do understand that accidents will also happen. This is why we stock poo bags, wipes and spray at our Customer Services desk.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you further, I'm more than happy to find something we can agree on that will correct this matter. Feel free to contact me on jamie.armstrong@stpetersgc.co.uk

Thanks,

Excellent Garden Centre

A really good choice of excellent quality plants. Lots to look at inside & buy. Great cafe inside & outside with a small area for children to explore. Large tent for booking craft days which is excellent value.

Excellent Activity

Spent a very enjoyable hour doing the half-term activity. Both the 3 year old and 7 year old had a fabulous time. The quality of the bug/butterfly boxes was excellent, and I'm sure they will work well in the garden. The organisation was great with warm and welcoming staff. We have been to other activity sessions at St Peter's and they've always been good value for money. Would thoroughly recommend.

Kids half term activity FAB!

We booked the kids in to the half term activity and it was brilliant. Four kids aged 2, 8, 9 and 11 all picked a butterfly or bug box to decorate and loved it. The boxes are brilliant quality - the materials to decorate were great quality again. Drink and snack provided. Staff lovely and helpful. Location warm and comfy. Absolutely recommend.

February Half term activities at St Peters Garden Centre are full of joy, creativity and quality family time. After an hour session there is an opportunity to walk around the lake, enjoy a snack/lunch or wander around the shop. Excellent entertainment for your kids at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended

Well worth it

Fab propagation workshop with the bearded plantaholic. Down to earth advice from someone who is clearly passionate about plants and sharing knowledge. Jonnie is an off the wall character who deserves to go far. Watch this space!

THE RISING COST OF MEALS AT ST PETERS

We go to St Peters a lot to eat. Friday we went and were very disappointed. My husband went for the ham, egg chips and peas. I wanted a jacket potatoe with chillie. My husband came back and said there were no jacket potatoes and could not believe it. I ended up having the same. In our opinion the meals have gone expensive. They have a deal this month a hearty meal and pud for £19.99 and that is dear. £40 for two meals and then drinks on top. There cream teas are very good and cakes. We also go to the cafe up the top and that is very good. We are sorry but at the moment dissapointed with St Peters. We go to another pub and they do a great carvery and pud for £10 Tues till Sat and it is excellent.

I recently attended a course on indoor plant propagation at the Centre.
It was hosted by The Bearded Plantaholic.
The course was absolutely brilliant. It was held in a yurt outside. It was extremely informative and great fun and I thought, good value for money.
There was also a discount voucher provided for attendees, which of course I had to use in the centre afterwards! 😬
Lovely customer service and a great location.
My only slightly negative comment was that I had a hot chocolate from the café outside, which was extremely expensive.
