I love this Garden Centre. Such variety and all the plants available look healthy and strong.There are also lots of garden goodies I struggle to find elsewhere or even online.It is a bonus that the staff are friendly and helpful. Always good to feel enriched by meeting or talking to someone (even just in passing).

Asked for advice on pet friendly lawn fertilizer and was told if I love my animals more than my grass then theres nothing that can be done.. When in fact there are lots of organic options on the market.. Waited long to be helped.. Very rude

I had a excellent experience. Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff. I left some small hooks on my trolley, called the next day and they had found them, kept them and I went and collected. Very awesome place.

This is the best Starke nursery I have been to. They have everything I need every time I visit and the staff are extremely helpful with offering advice and solutions to any garden problem or pest! If you are a first time gardener they will help you with everything you need to get started! The plants are all healthy and I have had great streak with their fruit trees 🍋🍌🍏

Lovely well stocked shop but plants are quite pricey compared to other nurserys in the area but I suppose thats because of the high rental for the big building so understandable.

The personalised service of Renee was fantastic. She took the time to understand my needs as a new gardener. She looked at photos of my garden and gave me fantastic recommendations. Its because of her service that Ive started visiting Starke Ayres, Sunningdale more regularly. Shes an asset to the company and well-informed. Thank you Renee.

Excellent garden centre, Martin and his team are always willing to give great advice. The restaurant is incredible with a small childrens play area. Inside the store it is filled with all sorts of interesting items to spruce the garden, kitchen or home up. Really top class garden centre.

Starke Ayres staff do not get back to you. I ordered 10x trees and they promised to call and let me know when they would arrive. No one called, two weeks passed and I called and was transfered to info. They promised they would find out what happened and call me back, when I expressed doubt about that, the lady insisted they would call straight back. Good thing in not holding my breath. Really poor follow up service.

They expected me to carry heavy items, that I purchased, in paper bags. I came with an Uber so I had to leave the place with loose items in my hands, cause I could fit carry it in the flimsy paper bags.They expect you to know that you need to come with your own bags to carry the stuff home that they sell you.

A real garden centre .... lots of stuff for the garden .... many people just like to browse through here so the staff will greet but not really offer assistance unless requested or engaged.... and if theyre unable to help immediately they will revert to more senior staff who can or who will research and get back to you....

Review №78

Overpriced compared to other nurseries in the vicinity. Make sure you look at the plant names on the containers and not what is advertised in front of the plant. There seems to be no order nor logic for the plant names. Management seems to be absent.
