great place to go for all and great food

We absolutely loved your Family fun day today. Well organised, and activities for all ages. We are pleased with our original Mr Doodle artwork we've come away with. Great place for an inexpensive day out and a great cup of tea, even in the rain. A hidden gem!!

We Love Tenterden Garden centre, we visit here every year especially at Christmas time. We visit Father Christmas every single year! Thank you for all the work you do to make it magical for us. Looking forward to next year too. Xxx

Thank you for an amazing afternoon at one of your activity days my grandchildren loved it thank you so much for putting on these fantastic days for the kids in the holidays we will be back x x

Thank you Sam & all your amazing team.

What a fantastic day,despite the rain.

Yet again another fab event that caterers for all ages, & thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Rarely do you find somewhere that caters for young children as well whilst having lunch. There is a good food choice and it tastes fresh, not cheap and nasty like alot of child friendly places are. The salad was fresh and not wilted. I really hope this place doesn't change as its a great little find. Plus the garden centre itself offers so much choice.

Lovely garden centre in the countryside. The kids love coming to pose with Gogi.

Lovely couple of hours spent here, didn't realise the place was so big..!! Staff very helpful and the café on site was a touch.. cheesecake to die for. :) we will be back and highly recommend

I love the living world and it's a beautiful

Good food and drink

Bought my children along at the weekend. Had a lovely time playing at the park, seeing the fish and reptiles, enjoyed a lovely lunch and bought all we needed to grow some giant sunflowers this summer! excellent!

A lovely garden centre well presented and competitive on price. My 3 year old son loved the little play area outside too �

A lovely atmosphere food excellent and the service very good, the cakes are to die for!

We had a lovely time at the family fun day. Nice lunch and cakes, free parking, great activities in a brilliant location.

Not lived in the area long and found your Garden Center ...Got some Lovely plants from you and love the Aquatic Center there ...could spend hours just looking around ...Will Deff be Back .. Highly Reccomended ☺

Had excellent time at super heroes themed day. Lots to occupy the kids. My son was enthralled with Superman and very engaged in the circus activities! Will definitely return to a themed event and in the future!

Always good with reptile supplies an helpful when ask a question, great food an lovely staff!!

I would give this place 0 if I could. Visited here and had a lovely afternoon looking around, followed by a delicious late lunch. However, we encountered a very rude woman on the tills when leaving. If I spoke to customers like this when I worked in retail, I wouldn't have lasted long. We shall not be returning.
