Avalon Garden Centre in Waverley

Amazing! The blueberries are fantastic and bought a bunch of plants too!

A nice little garden centre. We come here every summer with our grandson for the pick-your-own blueberries. It's cheaper than the supermarkets and fun too.

I have going there for years. A proper Garden / Nursery

My favourite garden Center. I can always find plants that are a little different and always grow beautifully. The customer service team are brilliant too!

Very friendly, helpful management and staff. The selection of plants, trees etc is varied and extensive. The pricing is competitive, more affordable perhaps than other Garden Centres in the area. 10/10

Picked lovely blue berries today on my way home from work. It's the same price per kilo as Sainsbury's

Superb garden centre, well a nursery really - knowledgable and helpful staff, lovely relaxed atmosphere, good selection of plants and also sells some other items such as greeting cards. Always happy to provide guidance and answer questions with no hard-sell of product. Place is very tidy and easy to navigate & find what you are looking for. It’s a joy to visit, and take time to select plants. A wonderful destination for novice to experienced gardeners.

Always a great selection very friendly staff and good value highly recommend it

Small garden centre and as a result, has limited choice.

A lovely garden nurserie. Plenty selection of plants,shrubs, and a variety of tool items. Friendly service and staff helpful.

Hidden from the road but it has a wide variety of plants and gardening tools. We're not from the area but come from the yearly blueberry "pilgrimage" a pick your own that is the best blueberry you will taste in your life!!

Great little garden centre and the blueberry picking was fantastic. My daughter loved it

Smallish garden centre. Modest stock of plants but well priced and often some good bargains. Gravel car park. Rarely gets as busy as some of the larger garden centres

Picked my beautiful blueberries yesterday😊

Excellent quality plants, friendly service and one of the best selections of pots too. August is also blueberry PYO!

Staff helpful and knowledgeable

My ‘go to’ local garden centre. Always helpful service and a great selection of plants and garden paraphernalia. And, always a little cheaper than the other larger garden centres in the area 😀

Absolutely applying customer service. I have never experienced such a poor attitude and treatment towards me. Will never go again. There are plenty of other options!

We come here fairly often. Good range of plants updated often , good advice.

Avalon is a GARDEN CENTRE, not a gift shop, cafe, delicatessent or children's playground. It is all the better for this !! The plants are in excellent condition whenever we visit. There is a good variety to choose from and the prices are reasonable I highly recommend visiting this excellent garden centre

Great plants well organinised. A true garden center where plants and gardening utensils take the central spot

Surprised to find this business has developed so much. Very nice. Good welcome. Plenty of stock.

Nice garden centre and restaurant

Local business, well run. Purchased items..

nice, different things to look at. Shame there is no longer a coffee place

What a hidden gem! Driven past so many times and now wish I'd gone in much sooner!

To be honest, we only went here for a coffee. There hasn't been a coffee shop here for some time as they have extended the garden centre into where the coffee shop used to be.

Friendly, helpful staff and a lovely range of plants

Good range of plants at good prices.

Went to pick blueberries. They were yummy and so nice to pick them in this country rather then them coming in plastic from overseas! It was slightly expensive, but worth it! Made delicious blueberry pancakes with blueberry compote..😋

Great place for PYO blueberries. Delicious!!

Great place to collect blueberries

We arrived seven minutes after official closing time. The manager begrudgingly let us in to purchase a broom. We had a quick look at the potted plants and were quickly set upon by the manager and aggressively berated for having the nerve to look at potted plants when we wanted a broom. If I treated my customers in my successful retail business like this, for when they come in late, I would be years back from where we are now. Such aggressive behaviour is not acceptable. This chap needs to sprint to a customer care course. Shame, as I always do my best to support local independents.

Saw a sign for pick your own blueberries and couldn't resist! 100% lived up to expectations; beautiful plentiful picking, and much better tasting than from the shops. Have spent the last couple of days making blueberry muffins and pancakes! Get a punnet and get picking, you won't be disappointed, and it seems now (late august / early sept) is PRIME PICKING!

Absolutely bloody brilliant my son had a blast and the staff are lovely

Good value garden centre, plenty of parking and helpful staff.

Every time I want a gift and I need it last minute I go to Avalon. I live about 10 minutes away by car. I also bought my hanging basket plants from here and they would have done amazingly by now if we'd have had some warm weather, there are plenty of buds waiting to open so I'm ever hopeful for a grand display.

Friendly and helpful local garden centre.

Pleasant family run business with affordable prices.

No cafe any more. Good range of plants.

Excellent centre with good quality plants.

Good stock and great value. Friendly and helpful staff. 😁👍

Amazing service and very helpful staff

Despite this is a very convenient garden centre for us, I would make the journey even if it was not. The reasons are simple; the organisation of the plants outside is excellent - there is no trouble finding anything and each shelf is clearly marked - the flowers all laid out very nicely. Furthermore, this is far cheaper than the major garden centre in Frensham which to be fair, has more choice. However, Avalon has all we need and I can thoroughly recommend a visit. Incidentally, the selection of potted vegetable seedlings is extensive!

Avalon is a great local garden centre, with all the compost, grit, grow bags, seeds, tools and more you need, plus a small section of food and gifts. This suits me very well, as I find many garden centres treat food and gifts as their main business. The plants at Avalon deserve their own paragraph, as they are excellent. They are well looked after and of really good quality. The staff are helpful and friendly.

A spacious well organized garden centre, with good prices and good quality plants.

Small, friendly, knowledgeable

Small, but better than bigger ones. Good and useful stock, helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Excellent selection of good value and consistently high quality Christmas trees - another year, another cracking tree....

Friendly local garden centre very knowledgeable staff

Very helpful friendly staff. Everything you need in one place.

Organised. Nice staff. Clean. Great selection of healthy autumn plants on display. Enormous Tulip selection and composts. Can't wait to visit later again today, buy more colourful plants and get planting for winter months. I also came away from Avalon with quality jams, cakes, biscuits, flour for the bread many of us are now baking.

A great place for plants and to get help .

I moved to this area last year. I visited Avalon soon after and have been back numerous times since. Simply excellent. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. All garden centres should be like Avalon. Difficult businesses to run but they have nailed it.

This is my local garden centre! It is the best of them all! The prices are fair compare with the chain garden centres around. I always enjoy very much my trips to Avalon

This place needs to be kept a secret. Happy to visit each weekend in blueberry season but reason is not to be broadcasted

Excellent choice of plants. Spacious shop. Helpful staff

Very helpful, informative and knowledgeable staff. A very pleasant shopping experience with a vast array of stock from gardening to DIY products. Delightful, thank you.

Brings back fond memories, as a child I would go fruit picking with my family.

Lovely friendly garden centre. Very helpful and generally nice atmosphere. Good selection of plants and garden tools, also do plenty of items that would make good presents for a variety of people.

Good to see it open again! Excellent selection of plants and other goods. Always pleasant and helpful staff.

I called and arranged to pick up some garden compost - it was waiting in a trolley in the car park all social distancing rules adhered too. Great service and friendly advice on some lawn feed as well. Love this place during normal times and very happy to support them through this current situation.

Always very helpful staff and the choice of plants, shrubs and accessories are superb.

I've never used the cafe, but it's a great garden center with a good selection of healthy plants, seeds and garden necessities at competitive prices. If you want a "complete shopping experience", go to Squires. If you need something for your garden, this is the place.

Recently expanded. Our favourite local garden centre. Friendly staff and a great selection of plants. So nice to be able to visit a garden centre that is not a carbon copy of all the Squires that are everywhere round here.

Excellent range of top quality plants at reasonable prices. Helpful and knowledgable staff. Easy car parking and great little coffee shop.

Oh yeah!! Love garden Centres & cafe. Pleasant place & ground surroundings.

Good range of plants, traditional garden centre rather than gift shop in disguise.

Always welcoming, very friendly. Their plants are very good quality and reasonably priced. Nice cafe too, can recommend the jacket potatoes. They also sell bird seed and various feeders, plant seeds, some gifts, garden tokens. PYO strawberries and blueberries in season.

The staff are so helpful and there is some exciting work going on I got all I needed for my latest project utilizing an old basin.

Excellent Garden Centre without the glitz. Good food, knowledgeable owners, helpful staff and good healthy plant stock.

I can't review the restaurant, but would heartily recommend a bit of Pick-Your-Own Blueberry picking whilst you're there. Amazing amount of bushes with great crops and the blueberries were lovely and great price compared to supermarket.

Wonderful pyo blueberries. Great little cafe x

Strawberry picking. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Best place for PYO strawberries. Don't forget to pick up a tub of fresh Jersey cream

Proper local garden centre. Not a chain. Knowledgeable staff, nice owners. Small but delightful.

Nice independent garden centre good prices on the bedding plants nice little cafe

Nicely laid out. Lots of selection. Well cared for and maintained and prices are slightly below average. A nice find.

I love this garden centre. Good prices, not as expensive as some garden centres have visited.Have had success with all the plants bought. The cafe is light airy & the food is good. Will certainly be visiting again this year.

First time we had been there staff friendly and helpful couldn't do enough for you plus you can have a lovely cup of tea or coffee and cake.

great little café with outside seating should you choose, lovely proper home made sandwiches which were lovely, Great service and good prices. Worth taking the time if at the garden center or just passing.

Café inside the garden centre serving basic food such as cheese on toast and baked beans, and some vacuum packed cakes. You are sitting inside, between the plastic plants and other garden equipment and ornaments that are on sale. Not particularly atmospheric. Seems like a missed opportunity... friendly service.

Back to basics but very good ( like a garden centre used to be !) Very helpful knowledgeable and friendly staff with an excellent choice of plants and shrubs Well worth the visit

Brilliant, friendly staff good food and quality products reasonably priced...

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Plant quality is great and really good prices. Would definitely recommend.

This is a proper nursery garden centre, unlike the big conglomerates like Squires.

Lugar bacana para comprar produtos para jardinagem.

I have been a few times with my partner and will my nieces during the blueberry picking season and we all loved it, it was so much fun! Would definitely recommend

Brilliant for picking fresh berries

Good selection of plants, and farm shop. Did not try out the coffee shop.

Not as glossy as some garden centres with focus on substance rather than style and presentation. A bit small compared to other nearby centres, but staff helpful

Lovely place has everything you want and the cafe is nice and friendly

Plants all beautifully healthy, lovely atmosphere and great prices.

Helpful staff good prices great selection of plants and trees all you need under one roof

Very help staff with local knowledge

We had a lovely cake and coffee here and looked around and got some reasonable priced plants for our hanging baskets, friendly staff and a nice old fashioned atmosphere, unlike some of the huge plastic ones around nowadays.

Friendly knowledgable staff. All plants healthy and well cared for. There is a gift shop as well as plenty of other products you can purchase. In the summer months there is a pick your own of strawberries and blueberries.

We came to pick blueberries and discovered this little cafe. Small menu, but good food and very pleasant and helpful staff. Check out the nursery too - very healthy plants, and a very good selection.

Avalon might not have the scale of some of the garden centres in the area, but what they do have is a fine selection of plants, often some oddities at excellent prices. The staff are very knowledgeable and welcome any questions about the plants. It's my 'go to' nursery in the area for inspiration and knowledge.

Lovely homely garden centre with good plant selection and friendly staff.
