William Wheat & Son
Join us for breakfast, lunch, hot & cold drinks and of course, some rather delicious treats. We offer a wide range of sandwiches, paninis, jacket potatoes & lots of other hot and cold tasty meals. Our caf overlooks the beautiful Bourne Pool and so makes the perfect place to relax and take in the most beautiful surroundings.

We have long specialised in houseplants, over the years we have grown our own Cyclamen, Poinsettias, Ferns and Trailing plants. We make our own planted arrangements and keep an extensive range of Cacti and Succulents. Our floristry department specialises in creating exciting floral arrangements individually created with flair and style.
Services
Our aim is to make sure that the flowers and plants we offer are the best your money can buy, healthy, full of life and worth the price you pay. Our reputation together with over 80 years' experience in growing and service means that you won't have to settle for second best. Young 'Bill' Wheat had worked down the pit since he was 10 years old.
In our gardening department, we have a comprehensive range of products to help make your garden grow, from lawn care and fertilisers, to compost, tools and pots. We carry a huge range of seeds, spring and summer bulbs, along with seed potatoes and onion sets (depending on the time of year).

We have a great range of shrubs, hedging and trees all year round alongside seasonal bedding to add some instant colour to your borders and hanging baskets to brighten your vertical spaces.All this choice can be a little daunting, so feel free to ask our friendly and knowledgeable staff for guidance.
Visit our bedding plant area where you will find a full range of best quality plants that can be used to give colour in borders, containers and window boxes. We have many planted pots and baskets to inspire you with colour combinations and planting ideas. Here too you can see an extensive range of pots and planters alongside our Haddonstone collection of fine garden pots and statuary.
Our Shrub area is where you will find trees, shrubs, climbers, roses and perennial plants that come up every year. We have a fantastic selection of plants and new varieties from suppliers throughout Britain and Europe. Feel free to ask one of our knowledgeable staff for advice - there is always someone here to help.
At Wm. Wheat and Son, hanging baskets are our passion. We pride ourselves on always having the best selection of ready-planted baskets and basket plants around; we sell over 4,000 baskets of various types, from a humble Lobelia plant to a giant display basket - we have it all. We also offer a customer refill service, simply bring your empty basket in, pick from a choice of planting options and collect or receive delivery in the summer.

A lovely garden centre with knowledgeable and approachable staff.
The cafe is delightful and all the staff are a pleasure(especially the manager Ann). Nothing is too much trouble.

Brilliant, lovely setting by the lakes but obviously too cold for the outdoor cafe. Plenty of seats inside with friendly staff at hand should you need them.

Went here for breakfast and was a little disappointed by the quality. Admittedly we were there at 11:00 but the bacon and mushrooms seemed over cooked as if it had been kept warm for a long time. They have a system that they have an employee designated to clear and clean tables so don't be surprised if another employee brings your drinks but doesn't clear the table. It will s a nice place and with a little improvements here and there, it would be a 5 star recommendation.

A really delightful family owned Garden Centre with excellent knowledgeable staff on hand to help. We've purchased many shrubs and bedding plants from here as well as garden hardware. There is a lovely cafe with a wonderful range of food and drinks. We regularly have a coffee and snack here, today a full English breakfast which was great. Highly recommended

Great place to shop for the garden. Lovely old style shopping experience. Garden shop is great. Always something unusual in the nursery.

Lovely garden centre, great selection of plants and pots. Nice cafe, if a little on the pricey side and lovely lake in the grounds. Well worth a visit.

Went with my wife and daughter, lovely garden centre with a cafe set next to a large pond with ducks and fish. My daughter loved the Fairy trail just as much as we did. Also had a vast array of plants and garden paraphernalia. Will definitely recommend and will return soon.

We pop along here fairly regularly. The kids enjoy a walk around the fairly trail, and like feeding the fish (and ducks!). We sometimes treat ourselves to a cake. My daughter was exploring all the plants for her school homework. The shop as you enter had the most adorable items, a little pricey but great for special gifts

Nice place to visit its certainly getting a better with all the improvements that have been made. The restaurant in my opinion as made a big difference the food smells amazing. Going to give it a try next time we go back. There are toilets in a separate building to the right of the main entrance which are free. Plenty of car parking spaces but only a few disabled ones. A nice picnic area at the back not far from the restaurant which the children would enjoy.
