If you are looking for a garden centre that not only has a wide range of plants and flowers to choose from but also plenty of activities for the whole family, you might need to take a trip to Wilburton. The village is home to the Twenty Pence Garden Centre that you could easily spend a day exploring.
You can spend some time walking around the outdoor section to get some inspiration for how to design your garden with statues, bird baths, and garden paints to add some colour. You can also find a range of garden furniture and plants to make your space more homely.
If you are looking for houseplants, the garden centre has plants for all spots in your house from bathrooms and shady areas to places that get loads of light. There are plenty of items to help you grow and manage your house and garden plants.
Twenty Pence Garden Centre could also be a great place to pick up a gift for someone with lots of soaps, reed diffusers, and kitchenware. The Blossom Boutique is home to a few different fashion brands selling clothes, accessories, and on-trend designs.
Alongside home and garden items, the garden centre has its own food hall where you can do some grocery shopping. The in-store bakery sells savoury and sweet options from sausage rolls to scones and cakes and the butchers has plenty of meat to choose from including BBQ bundles and roast dinner specials.
Lots of the products have been made by local produces including the chutneys, jams, and sauces. You can also find some everyday essentials from eggs and cheeses to Wilcox cakes and a few other sweet treats.
To keep the children occupied, you can take a trip to the Putting Shed, a nine-hole mini golf course found at the garden centre. The course will take you through garden-themed challenges and costs only £3.99 for adults and £3.50 for children under 13 years old.
If mini-golf isn’t quite for your children, there is also an enclosed play area with climbing frames, a sand pit with buckets and spades, and things to explore to allow them to let off some steam. There are also a variety of go-karts available for kids to drive around the racetrack.
After exploring the garden centre and spending sometime outside with your children, you might need somewhere to enjoy some food. You could visit the Applejacks Restaurant where you can have a freshly prepared breakfast or lunch.
The restaurant also serves a roast on Sundays if you want to get the family together for a weekend treat. Throughout the spring and summer, you can pop into the Orchard Ice Cream Parlour for some Devon ice cream, a sundae, or a fresh waffle.
The Twenty Pence Garden Centre can be found on Twenty Pence Road in Wilburton. The centre is open from 9am to 5.30pm on Mondays to Saturdays and from 10.30am to 4.30pm on Sundays.
