Garden Centre & Gift Shop - Derwen College Marketplace

Stopped off whilst waiting for my husbands appointment at RJAH. Found the small plant and gift shop cute. I purchased a hedgehog mug on charity shop. Nice visit

I stopped off after taking my little boy to the orthopaedic hospital. I had no idea it was attached to the college , I just spotted the sign for a Garden centre. My little boy has downs syndrome and after a difficult hospital appointment it was so uplifting to visit. Firstly being served by staff (with learning diffs) who could sign makaton was so lovely for my little boy and also to see adults with ds busy working. Lovely to see the display boards too with pictures of adults with down syndrome. What an amazing place ! We loved the cafe and enjoyed a cream tea. The walled Garden is pretty and the garden centre also is nice to Potter round. The charity shop was worth a visit too , we came away with a buggy and doll :) We will definitely be stopping off after our next appointment at the hospital :) I can't believe we just stumbled upon it !

Great place for a little shop and a bite to eat

Went to look around Gardens then popped in cafe for refreshments plant selection smattering but that's due to time of year/season cafe very clean not to busy great selection of snacks and drinks avaliable well priced and not expensive

Well worth supporting. Lovely little garden centre and walled garden growing some vegetables and flowers. The little charity shop is worth having a look at too. We had a drink in the cafe, very reasonably priced for food and drink. You can sit inside or outside, its very pleasant The parking is good and free and there are toilets there too.

Lovely gardens and very tasty food in the Cafe, would definitely recommend!!

Just happened to spot this place while waiting for my mum to have an appointment at the hospital and popped in, so glad I did! It’s very well presented and the garden centre is beautifully looked after! We ended up having lunch here which was lovely with a view of the walled gardens, if your ever passing it’s well worth popping in

Maybe I should not write this and keep it to myself. Found this gem several years ago,great but smallish gardens center with charity shop but the cafe excellent, for two well under £20 will get you an all day breakfast , a salad prawn cheese,ham... and two drinks . With the change fight over the army of cakes. Not a large menu but ever item I have tried been top notch. Outside seating in summer and might have a wait at peck time,may be I should have kept quiet.

Lovely place with a good variety of plants at reasonable prices you can also buy seeds pots, and compost here too. The shop has a variety of different and unusual things as well as a selection of food items. Also attached to the site is an excellent cafe with very good prices and an excellent service. Just near the cafe is a charity shop with a wide range of items and well worth a visit. Don't forget to have a look around the walled garden while you are there too.
