Primrose Hill Nurseries Garden Centre and Cafe in West Lancashire

Nice well stocked nursery with decent prices. Also has a small coffee shop.

Absolutely brilliant garden nursery very helpful staff and just unbelievable choice of products also nice family cafe.

Very interesting plants ..lots of structural plants tree ferns and tretrapanix plants to add drama to your garden .

Plant look very healthy, reasonable priced. The cafe is very good.

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.

Lovely breakfast as always and friendly owners. Dog friendly too. Definitely recommend 👍

Cracking little nursery tucked away, driven past lots of times but never knew it was there. Amazing plants for all budgets, pleasant staff and a reasonably priced cafe too. I will definitely be back.

Visited today great selection of plants . Fantastic helpful friendly staff. Been to a lot of garden centres and this is far better than any of them.. bought lots of plants and bedding plants . Great cafe on site with fantastic food and very well priced. Definitely worth a visit. Will be back for more . . Ps the lady on the till is lovely making you welcome. 10 stars 🌟

Great selection of plants and flowers. Staff couldn’t be more helpful and the cafe is good quality and well priced!

Wide selection of good quality plants. Friendly owners. Nice café with good atmosphere & books to read.

Excellent range of plants and helpful service. They grow the majority of the plants on site!

Lovely nursery, can always find something to buy, prices are usually cheaper than the bigger garden centres so shop local

Lovely breakfast staff very friendly service helpful. Dog friendly. 😊

Garden Centre is OK. Soup in the cafe was watery & tasteless unable to identify as leek & potato.

Lovely little place. And very helpful staff. Will be a return visitor for my gardening

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.

Food was really good and reasonably priced.

Lovely proper home cooked food. Best all day breakfast we’ve had in ages. And being your paperbacks because there’s a huge bookswap.

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.

Fabulous cafe and amazing selection of plants all at very good prices. Lovely staff and always a pleasant visit 10/10

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.

Lots of beautiful plants at very reasonable prices

Great little garden centre with excellent cafe. Food is all freshly prepared and great value.

Staff friendly Cafe needs a good clean

Excellent garden centre, very friendly staff

Lovely cafe small garden centre helpful staff love it

Great selection and prices. Staff very friendly :)

Very nice and friendly staff. We like the restaurant . Had a coffee this morning. Plant are good we had blue white and red trailing lobelia plus French marigolds.

Love this hidden gem, not seasoned gardener's, we always end up asking the owner for advice. Don't get me started on the cafe..... amazing food and glorious coffee, both great value for money. Always see a good few cyclists in the cafe, so unsure what the negative post is about.

Been for first time today, had breakfast which was delicious. They have a great selection of extremely good plants for great prices. Definitely going back. Brilliant 😊👍

Nice garden centre. The cafe is great.

Loved it, will be going back, the owner was a very nice bloke. Bought a very nice tree fern.

Great place to go , amazing range of stuff even pet supplies and a great cafe . Really friendly staff, very helpful . Every visit has been properly entertaining .

Fabulous all day breakfast. Lovely friendly staff.

Lovely warm welcome and great service! Very nice coffee, breakfasts and cakes etc

Always helpful about plants and growing tips. Cafe has delicious coffee and great atmosphere

Fantastic place, sooo friendly and prices were brilliant too.

Excellent quality plants and superb coffee in the cafe.

Quality plants. Fab lunch. Friendly staff

Nice cafe to ride out too and nice food at a reasonable price

Just love this place, happy helpful staff xx

Popped in to the cafe while out cycling, warm welcome, good service and reasonably priced. Not able to look at the plants etc but from what I could see they looked healthy and a good selection.

Much more than a garden centre. Tranquil, chilled lovely cafe and we'll set out. Brilliant.

Had a really nice tea/coffee. Staff were really friendly. Loads of people had cycled in, I'm not sure what the negative comment in the other review was about. My mums cycling club use it as a stop occasionally & recommend it too! Photos of the garden centre - forgot to take a pic of the coffee!

Great plants we got 2 grape vines 2 years ago. They are massive nos with about 30 bunches of grapes growing on them.

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.

Excellent food very friendly staff nice place to chill highly recommended.

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.

Very good and helpful..nice food in cafe..

The choice of plants and flowers was astounding.

Very helpful and friendly staff, lovely plants and a great choice.

Lovely local independent garden centre, with an amazing selection of plants, shrubs etc..at very reasonable prices. A great little coffee shop which does home made lunches and light bites, cakes and hot & cold drinks. A really lovely way to spend a couple of hours, oh and free parking.

Toilets very clean same with cutlery and tables, high standard of hygiene, food enjoyable and not over priced, pleasant atmosphere, enjoyable walk around garden centre, well worth a visit.

Lovely place. DO NOT MISS SEEING THE SHADE PLANT HOUSE AN GUNNERAS..well loved and cared for centre. We'll priced healthy plants. Nice cafe but cafe closed wed. Very friendly place.WII DEFO B BACK

Amazing flowers Amazing prices!

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.

Staff always friendly and helpful and knowledgeable

Very friendly, well organised and great value.

Nice place. Quirky itemsbut very interesting with good choice and prices

Lovely friendly cafe nice breakfast

Always excellent service from Ian and Mary! We have bought our Christmas tree here every year and they last for such a long time. Wouldn't think of buying from anywhere else! Very friendly staff too - I really recommend this independent garden centre.

Wow what a hidden treasure. Stumbled across by accident, great food in the cafe, warm and friendly people/ staff and difficult not buy something with such a variety of items for sale. Let's hope we can find you again !!

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.

Lovely cafe stop. Thank you for making us so welcome!

Ate outside un a quiet family run nursery. A great experience and oneI I would repeat.

Beautifully kept plants and flowers Especially the hanging baskets, very full and reasonably priced. Try the cafe we enjoyed the all day breakfast 😋

Excellent, clean and friendly atmosphere serving well cooked /presented food. With the added bonus of a stroll around the reasonably priced garden centre. Very clean toilet.

We have been coming to Primrose Nursery for years and get all our plants and baskets here. Ian and Mary( the owners ) are so friendly as are all the staff,. and go out of their way to help. The food and coffee at the Cafe are superb. Ian has been particularly kind to me recently as my husband had Heart surgery. He brought around three beautiful basket for the front of our house and put them up for me. Service with a smile. I highly recommend them. Jill and Phil

Family run business. Friendly and helpful. The outdoor seating is quite sheltered which was great and the bowl of homemade French onion soup was delicious. Lovely place to browse for plants and the shop has some great gift ideas and is well stocked with all things garden

Lovely lovely place and brilliant friendly service

Such a friendly, helpful, welcoming woman when we visited today, with useful advice. Lovely plants and flowers. Also visited the cafe, very reasonably priced. Everyone so friendly. Pity we don't live closer. Beautiful day, would recommend this lovely nursery.

Great plants and lovely lemon drizzle cake 😋

First class service as always always welcomeing and helpful cant wait till the pandemic is over so me and my wife can visit there first class cafe

Little hidden gem. Drove past for years my curiosity got the better of me today.bigger than I expected .I personally prefer the smaller friendly centres than the big commercial ones

Love coming here. Mary and Ian are so friendly, nothing is too much trouble

Christmas trees chosen it wasn't easy as they were all beautiful and they are going to be delivered for us. The garden centre looks lovely very festive thanks guys 🌲

Lovely christmas display and fantastic xmas goods for sale.

Not the fanciest but always enjoy a visit and always end up with something well worth a visit just a pity coffee shop is shut during lockdown

Lovely people. Warm and friendly atmosphere. Great coffee shop

Lovely to stop off somewhere safe clean and covid organised. Freshly cooked food, great teas and coffee. Nothing too much trouble, nice naughty cakes too. Then you can shop for garden stuff and pet food too, not got it they will order for you.

Really helpful staff and no pushy sales techniques

Nice cafe tucked away within the garden centre. They cater for cyclist but miss out on lots of custom as you don't know its there from the main road. Coffee and food are both great and priced well and service is very efficient.

Small friendly run garden centre with a lovely Tea room. The food is delicious and the service is great. We have been a few times and will continue.

Good selection but waited a long time to get served as noone around

Helpful friendly staff and a great coffee shop 5* highly recommended

Very good prices and a variety of everything, very friendly reception a fantastic place.

First time visit for myself, called in with a few cycling friends on our way back from Southport. I only had a drink has we had lunch in Southport but we were greated by friendly staff, we chose to sit outside which was still under shelter. Would recommend and will be calling in again.

Its near staff helpful coffee shop open and books to get and swop whats not to like.

Great garden centre and lovely cafe

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.

Visited today,the staff are very helpful, the plants are all good and healthy very good value for the money, will be going back for more

Second visit to this small but perfectly formed garden centre. So peaceful and staff are well informed and extremely pleasent. Can't wait for the the coffee shop to reopen
