The Greenhouse Garden Centre is one of North London’s hidden gems. Surrounded by woodland and located right next to the beautiful Welsh Harp nature reserve, you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the heart of the countryside

This place is amazing. Everything you could possibly want for your garden is here - and a lot more. There is an excellent selection of plants (and they seem pretty healthy). If you want an instant garden they have mature shrubs…the topiary is great…there’s a special section for bamboo…roses…the choice is a bit overwhelming!

Inside you’ll find garden furniture galore, BBQs, water features, pet supplies, tools and lots more. At Christmas they have a big selection of tree decorations, as well as cut and living trees.

What really helps to make this place special is the aquatic section - it’s like a mini aquarium. Whenever we come here as a family we must go to the aquatic section to look at the beautiful tropical fish, the slimy snails and the koi carp, to name but a few.

I’ve always found the staff helpful. If they didn’t know the answer they would get someone who does. If you’re looking for something for the garden, you may want to try here. I certainly never seem to leave empty handed.
