À beautiful garden centre with plenty of parking and two disabled parking bays. Inside there is a cafe with good options. The garden centre itself sells a good mix & variety of plants and also have a fantastic range of fountains. They also sell fish pond base layers. Inside the shop you can buy ornaments and garden figurines. We bought a little turtle and named him Master Oogwe (from Kung-fu Panda 😃). We met the owner's dad and he was very easent person. The staff were very friendly and super helpful. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

We went to visit Paddock Farm to see Santa, it was a great experience, our little boy was amazed that he knew things about him, has been talking about his visit since we were there on Saturday. Lovely place, friendly staff.

Lovely morning visit. Although not the largest this must be the friendliest welcoming garden centre in the area. But it’s more than a garden centre. Child friendly a enter with great displays of water features and a nice little cafe serving good coffee and tremendous cheese and fruit scones. Always something going on here snd we never get tired of visiting.

A lovely tranquil walk at the rear of the premises behind the cafe. A good selection of plant’s and items on sale. But for me the attraction is Carolines’ cafe for breakfast and cakes.

What a lovely place to visit. The new owners have a passion that is obvious when you walk around the various pathways and observe the numerous features that are a joy to behold. Really relaxing. The cafe has sitting in and out. The food is very good and very affordable. None of these silly prices other garden centres charge. We'll worth a visit plus it has an area where kids can go and play.

My Mum, Dad and I have visited this morning for the first time. Everybody was so friendly and helpful. Beautiful cake and coffee in the cafe. Always somebody around to offer advice. My Mum asked about the name of a plant and the young lady printed the name and picture off. Will definitely revisit and recommend

What a cracking business. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. We have bought numerous items for our garden from Paddock Farm. A great selection of plants and shrubs.
The restaurant is certainly worth a visit, especially on a Sunday for lunch. Lovely scones. #JustSaying
Would highly recommend.

What a lovely place to visit. We wanted assistance on our new pond and that's exactly what we got with no heavy sales patter. Beautiful gardens to walk round, will be visiting again to get ideas for the garden.

We absolutely love Paddock Farm, amazingly friendly and helpful staff. So much to see, the fish are fab and we enjoyed feeding them. The plants are gorgeous and nothing is a bother to the staff.
