Great little hidden gem of a nursery/garden centre, a really friendly place with fantastic plants and garden accessories. We spent a good while walking around and then we had tea and cake at the brilliant cafe in the garden plant area. Worth seeking out if you are in the Ormskirk area and are sick of big garden centres that all seem to be clones of each other, we will definitely be stopping by again.

Wasn't great. Lots of non gardening tat, including chemically enhanced soaps and moisturisers. Couldn't even get proper gardening clothes, but they did have a designer clothes type section. It was a one way system, like IKEA. God I hate that, being headed through areas of Christmas sale items, that no-one wants. I may try again, in the spring, or summer, but not holding my breath. By the way. They don't take cash. Card or electronic payment only.

My review is only based on the Fruit festival event as this drew me in to visit the garden centre. Seemed a little under prepared for the numbers of visitors. The overflow car park was feeling chaotic with cars getting stuck in the mulch and no pedestrian path, so small kids and parents walking between moving cars and near the stuck ones. The bbq ran out of sausages by 13:30 and it took 20min to get a coffee from the internal coffee shop. Unsure what the fruit element of the festival was apart from a table of berry plants on sale? The positives… The garden centre is small but has a nice selection of plants at decent prices.

Small nursery that sells pet and horse feeds alongside plants. Limited range of plants. It was a windy day when I visited and many plants had been blown over. Signs say there is a tea shop on site - but I didn’t spot it - it might have been closed that day. The whole place looks a little run down unfortunately - I guess it’s not in a location where there’s much passing trade. Plenty of car parking. Staff friendly.

Love this garden centre. It's amazing. Ian and the ladies are always so helpful. They know the plants they're selling and so can advise. I've bought alot over the past 2 years and they've blossomed since they were put in. Tbh I didn't even realise I had a garden centre so close to where I live which is fatal for my bank balance but I love it there. The cafe is excellent too and gets busy. Defo recommend the full breakfast and the cakes. Let's keep this gem of a garden centre going. Prices are far better than some garden centres I've visited. Go give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

This is a really great little garden nursery. It’s such a relaxed environment to be in . The price of the plants is good in my opinion. The family who run it are very friendly and ready to help. There is also a nice cafe which serves up the usual scrumptious cake with tea or coffee. This is well worth a visit.

Having seen others excellent reviews of Primrose Hill Nurseries, we were excited to go to a garden centre we hadn't been to before for a family birthday. Sadly the reviews did not meet with what we experienced. Firstly giant pot holes in the drive way, secondly the shop as you walked in needed attention. The plant section was fine, the plants were in good order. Quite a variety for a small garden centre. The cafe was the biggest let down. Not welcoming at all. Was given dirty looks by both staff members who were seated at one of the tables. They never said hello, or can we help you? Nothing. Very frosty. For a Monday morning there was very little to tempt you as the cakes looked as if they'd been there since Saturday. The cake covers were dirty. There was hardly anything and again, the staff who were directly behind us did not approach us and kept talking amongst themselves. We left immediately as we were all disgusted. We found cake, coffee and a warmer greeting at another garden centre. When reading that this place was the best kept secret in Lancashire, I don't believe it was for good reasons. The pictures posted on here are from a few years ago, and sadly its not that like that now.

Pleasant place to visit with top quality plants and trees : Great quality too, grow their own which is always a good indicator as to whether it will perform in your own garden. But a lovely little place with very pleasant staff and you’re left to your own devices which is great too. Would recommend to all at the drop of a hat. Just a wonderful little place.

Had a lovely hour or so with my mum and dad, just wandering around the nursery before each of us having an all day breakfast. We had to chop and change some of the items due to allergies and this was done with no fuss and bother. All three breakfasts were served piping hot and at the same time. They were really tasty and we polished them off in no time. The owners were lovely, informative and it was just a pleasure being in such a relaxed, peaceful environment. Thank you.

I had been let down badly by Thompson Morgan who in exchange for a tidy sum delivered a few scraggy plants but mostly stiffed me on the remainder. I phoned Primrose Hill nursery, explaining that I was in the age vulnerable category. The owner, Ian, took my details and then, later that day, picked sixteen plants which he delivered to my car in the parking bay. I realised that I needed compost and he got it for me and brought a card reader to the car and placed it on the boot for me to swipe. The plants, which were incredibly healthy, have thrived and my hanging baskets are a joy. Thanks. Your nursery was a summer saver.

Wife and I tried The Edge for the first time during a visit to Ormskirk as we’d heard good things about it and it was great! Very good service and the food was excellent. We both had a steak baguette and mine was the best steak baguette I’ve had anywhere. Soft, warm baguette, tender steak, fried onions and mushrooms and topped with melted Stilton. It was simply divine and, accompanied by a BIG, strong pot of tea for two, was the perfect lunch! We are definitely going back the next time we are in Ormskirk.

Disappointing compared to previous visits . Arrived to be told that our table would not be ready for about 15 minutes . Sat at the bar , ordered a pint of pale ale & rose wine £22 , to then be told immediately that our table was ready ?? Not a good start . Food was okay but not sensational . I would say previous visits were better . Service was too fast , we asked for the experience to slow down , overall probably six out of ten , wasn’t great value for money .

We were visiting WWT Martin Mere and were looking for a cafe for breakfast to set us up for a day of walking and bird watching. We found ‘The Farm’ online and headed there on our way. When you arrive it doesn’t look much from the outside, but once you walk through the door it is welcoming, cosy and has a lot to offer. We ordered Full English Breakfast and it was very tasty and nicely presented. It came with toast which was a nice bonus, as so many places now you have to order it separately. There is a small farm shop which forms part of the cafe and has a nice range of local produce including small gifts and cards. We bought a couple of Rhubarb Pies to take away with us and they were delicious too! Would definitely recommend this establishment.
