and a cuppa Lee Rowan’s Gardenworld Lee Rowan’s Gardenworld is the epicentre for all things ‘outdoor living’ on the Central Coast, so it makes sense that shoppers can mull over their swag of potential purchases at the onsite Gardenia Cafe. Time your visit with lunch so you can enjoy a gourmet bagel, focaccia, scones or a sweet, including dairyand gluten-free slices. Then, load up the barrow, ready for an afternoon of serious pottering. The centre also has a large, well-stocked giftware section. 72 Pacific Highway, Ourimbah

Popping into the garden with a cup of coffee to watch bees buzz around your lavender, and lorikeets flit about your bottlebrush is an age-old pleasure. For many of us, pottering around our patches is therapeutic. That’s why we’re drawing your attention to the Central Coast’s best nurseries this winter, where you can also enjoy a bite to eat or pick up some floral-inspired gifts.
