Advantages Excellant for gifts plants and pets .
Disadvantages Time goes to quickly .
Notcutts is a chain of 13 garden centers around the country. They were established in 1897 and have a wide range of different plants both indoor and outdoor. Their nurseries stock over 3000 types of hardy plants each carrying a two-year guarantee. They are well set out and it is easy to find what you are looking for . If you cant there are always members of staff happy to help you.
All plants are clearly priced . Each has its own name label on it .I had never seen so many different pots in one place until I went to Solihulls Notcutts. They stock many different types in many different colours. Along with pots they also have paving slabs decking and water features. They also have sheds and conservatories.Notcutts also stock a wide variety of houses plants Including bonsai trees and fresh cut flowers. From small inexpensive plants to large expensive plants they have the lot.
Now this has to be my favorite part of the store the pet and aquatics department. Its wonderful! Their rabbits hop around happily in runs so the children can stroke them. Their birds are not caged but sit on perches and do climb on to shoulders.Thankfully hamsters gerbils and budgies are in cages. They also have many different pet foods and toys cages, hutches and fish tanks. They stock only captive breed animals. Their aquariums are clean and are well lit. Their staff can answer most questions you ask. I haven’t as yet had a bad fish from them. It is all set up child friendly.They also have a wide range of books, gardening tools and lots of little gifts, including pictures bears candles and fairies.
The restaurant is always clean with food available all day and not too badly priced. With children’s meals also available. I’m really fussy about toilets and have never found their toilets anything but immaculate.Christmas is wonderful at Notcutts they stock a lot of diffrent Christmas ornaments, trees and sparkly things.It is all set out by colour .It really is a beautiful sight. Santa also visits at weekends.
Solihulls Notcutts car parks is large free and well lit. They have wonderful children’s play area. The trolleys are also a little different too. They are cars that your child can sit in while you push them around (although they are a little hard to steer sometimes). Notcutts is neither cheap nor expensive, but if you like a bargain like me they have a cut priced plant section in both the houseplants and the outdoor section. Be prepared it is very easy to lose track of time in Notcutts there is so much to see.
Thanks for reading
