Five Centres great Garden

Swines Meadow Farm Nursery

Nestling in Deeping St James is plantsman’s nursery, Swines Meadow Farm Nursery. At the Outgang, Linchfield Road junction, the Nursery not only grows many rare and exotic plants but they also host a number of interesting talks and the popular twice yearly Unusual Plant Fairs. Personal advice is on hand from owners, Colin and Karan Ward who really can show you how to make your plants grow strong and well without the use of chemicals. Teas and snacks are served in the onsite Deeping Fudge Shop and Tea Room. Open 9-4 Mon-Sat 10-4 Sun

Waterside Garden Centre

Planted arrangements always greet you at Waterside, an immediate uplift for the garden or a thoughtful gift they are the precursors of a well chosen and extensive selection of plants, composts and garden tools. Supplemented by a great selection of garden furniture, bird food and feeders, aquatics and a pets corner. With complementary gifts, books and country clothing there is a restaurant and a well appointed outdoor play area for the kids - all within a stones throw of the Deepings on the A15 Bourne Road. www.watersidegardencentre.co.uk or call 560000

The Barn Garden Centre

“We like to feel that people can come here in their wellies just off the allotment or garden” explains Centre Manager, Paul Wilson. Even the cafe, renowned for its delicious scones has an area where it is possible to sit with your dog. The ‘gardeners garden centre’ has a great selection of specialist feeds, a variety of plants and not those just in season and an enviable selection of barbeques laid out in such a way to make choice easy. From a small gas barbeque for the weekend warrior to a state of the art charcoal and gas combination for those adopting the lifestyle, this is the destination of choice for those with a prawn or two to cast around! Aquatics, wild bird feed and feeders, a selection of pet goods and a small selection of gifts as well as slabs and all you need to lay a patio and just down the road in Newborough. 01733 320134 www.thebarngardencentre.com

Baytree Nurseries

So much more than just a garden centre, Baytree Nurseries, situated at Weston on the A151 Holbeach Road, is an emporium and a destination! With inspiration for every aspect of the home and garden, Baytree Nurseries have been trend setters in this market for over 40 years! There is over 16 acres of retail space, a restaurant and coffee lounge, the only advice is to leave plenty of time for your visit. Baytree has origins in Market Deeping (more of which in a later issue). www.baytree-gardencentre.com t: 01406 370242

Drive through the undulating countryside beyond Ryhall, along country lanes to Little Bytham. Here is family owned and run, Rasell’s Nurseries. Well cared for, the centre distinguishes itself with a totally horticultural offering of hardy shrubs, herbaceous and trees-ornamental and fruiting, as well as half hardy seasonal bedding. Not only does Rasell’s supply quality plants they have planted borders showing off their stock, making it feel you are walking round a garden rather than a nursery. Tim Rasell, plantsman of many years standing and his daughter Claire, offer a warm welcome, advice and a handpicked selection which facilitates a great choice! Delicious selection of homemade cakes, lunches and drinks served in a Tea Room decorated with handpicked flowers, in season. www.rasells.co.uk t: 01780 410345
