Meadow Croft - Wickford

Very friendly and helpful staff. beautiful plants and such a beautiful garden center to go around and get many tips. then to cut it from a beautiful cup coffee and cake before they go.

I've been to many other garden centres of varying sizes but Meadow Croft has to be my favourite. You are guaranteed a warm welcome from the staff when you walk in. I like the way the garden centre is laid out in different areas. When you first arrive you are met with a wide selection of plants which change with the time of year. At the present it is a delightful German market complete with bratwurst und bier and lots of interesting stalls. You then enter the area with a huge selection of all you need for your pets and outdoor birds, insect houses, other gardening items, doormats etc. From here you then step out into a vast area with garden tools, shrubs, plants which display the conditions required for growing, there are pots and garden ornaments too. There is a further outside area full of rose bushes and trees, a seating area, play area. There's a cafe serving a selection of meals, snacks, cakes with seating inside or outside to suit. Then the final gift shop with items that you may not have seen anywhere else. There is a florist too and at the present time the shop is full of Christmas trees, ornaments, lights etc. Highly recommended.

The family went to Meadow Croft Garden Centre today to visit the German market, we visited the cafe and spoke to several members of the team everyone was so lovely! What a great team here, the prices are very reasonable, the bratwurst and chocolates delicious! Well done!

Beautiful garden centre. Love the German Christmas Market style display of the Christmas items.
