Reviews of Big Jims Garden Centre

m.

Thanks guys you are amazing! Beautiful plant with great packaging. It arrived in a very good condition and looks a super healthy plant. Cheers

O.

The service here is good and we did not wait too long before getting our food. The well made dishes are tasty and well priced. The seating is good and there are couches. This is a good place to go in good weather (and out of good weather) because the views are pretty. The menu is excellent and the hot drinks are good.

E.

I love how friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable the staff like their just the best. I also like the ambience of their shop its very welcoming and warmth.

T.

They have a cat called Big Jim and honestly that should be enough for you to buy as many ficuses (ficii?) as he demands.

H.

Perhaps a little over-priced in both the Cafe and garden areas but very helpful and knowledgeable staff with plenty of plant varieties to choose from

H.

Fantastic garden centre brought quite a bit lovely healthy plants. Have a gorgeous friendly marmalade cat will definiely go back again.

A.

k.

Fantastic service by Lynette! She is not only very knowledgeable, but very obviously passionate about what she does (and beyond lovely). Thanks for all your tips on our new plant babies Lynette! Keep up the great work:)

P.

Staff are helpful and know their stuff. A good range of plants and trees and everything looks healthy. Check out the garden out back for inspiration.

S.

Well presented cafe with the bonus of having the very good garden center next door. Good set up cafe for family gatherings as well with a nice little playground for the littlies which enjoying a great range of foods and drinks. Great destination drive for a coffee or brunch and then stocking up for everything required for the gardens.

R.

Very knowledgeable team, tidy, plants looked great.

l.

Garden area having great sale. Very helpful staff. Just a shame the cafes hot chocolate was just warm. Will be asking for extra hot, hopefully will be better.

j.

Lovely cafe, had the soup of the day which was really good. Garden centre was lovely to walk round, plants looked healthy and there were some good bargains.

L.

Nicely laid out garden centre, very helpful and friendly staff member. More signage wouldn't go astray and if you are going to put annuals in their colour blocks at least put them in alphabetical order :). Oh and a very friendly cat too.

R.

Top spot to shop. Massive selection with helpfull advice

T.

We got some really cool house plants here.

D.

Beautiful Garden Centre. An excellent selection of good quality plants. Owners Vince & Ann have an extensive range and knowledge of plants and exhibit their own garden in the Powerco Taranaki Garden Festival in October.

V.

Best garden centre in North Island.

A.

OH MY GOODNESS - I love this place! Selection of plants is good and there's a great range. Lovely for kids as there is a garden that at the time of visiting had some little ducklings and space to spread out in. Gift shop has a good selection of items and a range that will keep most people happy. Cafe attached too, but I didn't go there so can't comment on that.

J.

Love this garden centre. Friendly helpful staff.

C.

Only one word needed to describe this place - fantastic! Great service and the open chicken sandwich was premo, as was the omelette. And, great service.

L.

Bigger and better plants than other places. Cheaper too. Adorable friendly ginger cat on the premises too.

J.

Great variety of plants and shrubs Nicely spread out for ease of access and ability to find stock Friendly helpful staff

K.

Excellent garden centre. Heaps of really healthy plants. Well layed out. Beautiful gift range. Staff friendly, knowledgeable & helpful. Highly recommend it.

D.

Impressive range of stock. Not much in the way of fruit trees and shrubs when we visited. Well priced overall. Staff need more training on what plants suit what climates, clearly had no idea about the plant I bought which was poorly advised.

C.

Great seafood platter - just right for lunch. Quiet and peaceful setting in the outdoor garden which makes dining out a more comfortable experience for those wishing to enjoy peace and quiet, our older citizens and anyone with hearing aides

J.
