FOR BOTH THE HOBBYIST AND THE PROFESSIONAL

Thorngrove Garden Centre

  • Common Mead Lane, Gillingham, Dorset, SP8 4RE , England

Description:

"You can be sure of a warm welcome here and the plants are just as well looked after," says Dorothy. Mostly grown on site by a team of 25 disabled people who work alongside a team of mentoring staff and volunteers. "This is a gardeners' nursery and although they pride themselves on being purely that, they would like a coffee shop to encourage customers to linger."
