Silverbirch Garden Centre in South Lanarkshire

A breathtaking display of all things Christmas. Beautiful colours and gorgeous items for any kind of Christmas tree. We had lunch in the very busy cafe. Having read previous reviews about long queues but we got there early and though there was a couple of people in front of us, we got a table quite quickly. Food was nothing great but a very enjoyable visit

We had been on our last visit to the area. Had to wait a little while for a table at the cafe, as very busy. Once we ordered food it came quickly. Food was outstanding. Highly reccommend - for meals or cake & coffee. Had a quick look at plants but as on holiday didnt purchase.

We had the most delicious lunch at Silverbirch and had the best friendly service you could ask for! The menu is great and soups/sandwiches top quality and 5 stars for taste! Highly recommend if in the area

Beautiful garden centre with lots of fabulous plants, soft furnishings, ornaments etc. fully dog friendly even in the lovely restaurant (you will be given a note of doggy rules) we took our puppy for his first restaurant outing he was in his carrier and was as good as gold. We sat outdoors until the waitress explained that the indoor is fully dog friendly. We had a wonderful Father’s Day breakfast food was wonderful and great value for money in a lovely atmosphere

Impressed with the menu at the cafe and the quality , definitely worth the wait if you have time! Service was great too and appeared well managed The displays in the actual centre as well as the variety on offer was top notch. Only slight is the price across the cafe and the garden centre. Very high end prices nothing available for budget or even mid range. I understand you pay for quality but it's just not very inclusive in the centre and only limits the clientele. The cafe In my opinion is fairly priced but still high end so best to know what to expect. Have been back several times since :)

Choice of cakes was fabulous. Coffee was lovely. Unfortunately I had a cake that had fruit on top which was cut so thin I was left with a slither of strawberry and one blueberry. Portion size was shocking. Shame .

Another great lunch in the coffee shop at Silverbirch Garden Centre. The staff are always courteous and give great service. It was busy today and staffing appeared to be limited (as it would for a month in the Winter) but the team kept focused, were friendly and the food was delicious. Hubby had a dessert which he had pleasure in explaining how light the sponge was and tasted fantastic with the oodles of cream he had!! I will be back after Lent to try a portion for myself, hopefully it will still be on the menu. Well done team. , looking forward to our next visit.

First visit and impressed by varied menu and pleasant and efficient staff. Unfortunately will not return due to the presence of a customer at an adjoining table feeding her dog on her lap at the table. I have no problem with dogs on the premises as I am a dog lover but this is quite unacceptable. When I mentioned it to a member of staff they didn't seem to think this was an issue. Really?

Breakfast was nice, lovely service. The shop's Christmas displays are absolutely beautiful but unfortunately there are crazy amounts of fragrance everywhere throughout. It is completely overpowering and a serious trigger for people with asthma, migraine or allergies. The irony is there are so many you can't even smell the individual ones anyway, it is just a wall of extreme scent! We could only manage a short dash around before leaving because of this. I can only imagine they must make a lot of money from these as it never used to be that bad. Unfortunately it's put me off going back as it really was unbearable which is a shame as it's been one of the most beautiful places I go to for Christmas displays and decorations for a long time and the staff do a great job.

I enjoyed the cafe - ordered bacon & avocado on toast and it was pretty standard, the staff are friendly, food + drinks came out quickly and even though there was a massive queue we weren't waiting for too long. Also, it's reasonably priced. As previous posters have said there are quite a few dogs (but I guess it's subjective as to whether this is a good or a bad thing!) However, the Christmas decorations in the shop were disappointing... really expensive prices for what were (in my opinion) quite boring, low quality items. Also a very strong smell of incense / candles which was overpowering and just made me want to leave ASAP. The overall display of the items was nice though...!

Beautifully presented Christmas collection and ornaments etc. Lovely to see but would need a very large house for a lot of the trees , garlands etc. Very expensive for most items. Toilets only available in the cafe which wasn’t very practical as there was a long queue outside which was not very practical in the pouring rain, so just abandoned the idea.

Had to leave restaurant/ coffee shop early due to the number of dogs ( 4/5 on the day of our visit ) ! On a very wet day , dogs in a restaurant are a no-no . In fact on any day , dogs in a restaurant are a no- no . Trying to enjoy coffee and snacks with the smell of dogs and barking dogs is a step too far . Watching members of staff making a fuss of the dogs ,petting them and then continuing to serve food to tables is a health and safety issue , as well as bad practice . I look forward to a response re this review .

Lovely atmosphere but yet again, changed a different amount for same breakfast. 1 fried egg, 1 toast, 1 coffee. £5.60. £2 for 1 slice of toast is ridiculous.

Popped in on a Tuesday, as everytime we visit there is always a huge Q, but we were lucky and as it was a beautiful day managed to get a seat outside, we were quickly and efficiently seen to and our food was beautiful, well presented and fresh, a wee bit more than I would usually pay for a lunch but so worth it

Excellent small cafe / restaurant. The food was excellent, the staff very helpful and enthusiastic and they like dogs. So refreshing. And the prices are competitive. The garden centre is different from the others in the Clyde Valley. Trees and plants were impressive and healthy and today, they had an amazing selection of tree peonies. The indoor goods for sale are of a higher standard and quality from the competition. While prices may seem higher than other places, don’t forget the old saying, “You only get what you pay for.” We will be back again with our quiet, well behaved dog.

Enjoyed a nice lunch with my friend. Planned on getting coffee and cake but another two customers arrived to table beside us with two dogs. One dogs tail was literally whacking my leg, I have severe allergies so spent the rest of my day with itchy eyeballs! I cannot understand why anyone would enjoy eating whilst smelling wet dogs? Beyond disgusting, put me off completely. I understand that people love dogs I even have a few favourites myself…but they are animals and sharing my eating space with an animal turns my stomach, hairs ticks and god know what else lurking around. Blows my mind that this has become acceptable in society! 🤯

Silver birch is by far the nicest garden centre I have ever been to and I don’t mind driving 40 minutes to get there!! I never really buy anything for my garden but their interiors/home furnishings are beautiful! Their displays throughout the year are always fab & at Christmas time it’s jaw dropping!!! If I had a fortune I could easily spend it here!! The cafe is also very good, really nice inside with a lovely outdoor raised decking area. If you haven’t been before I would highly recommend!👍🏻

After a recommendation from an interiors enthusiast I visited the garden centre Christmas shop. We had wonderful customer engagement and service from Eileen. The Christmas shop was breath taking and I can't wait to go back in the new year to see their general set up as the selection of interior items and styling is absolutely beautiful.

Visited with my husband and doggy for lunch and a look round the garden centre. Read many things online but phoned to check it is DOG FRIENDLY. Lovely lunch. Garden centre was lovely for a wander round. A lovely thing to do at Xmas each year.

Summed up, it is what i would describe as chaos. Restaurant-- Visited on a busy saturday and there was a hellishly long wait time to get a table in the restaurant and the food and service was below average. Arrived at 11.30am and the restaurant queue was a mile long (heavens kmows why) and the staff did not manage the queue at all. For an extremely busy Saturday, there appeared to be only 2 waitresses in service who were rushed off their feet. Stood at the top of the queue for ages as we were a slightly larger table, a table of 5 but what annoyed me was there was nobody managing the queue, applogising for the wait, handing out menus to the those at the top of the queue which would have speeded up the system slightly. I had to ask to see a menu whilst we were waiting at the top of the queue. Ordered two ciabattas and 2 fish and chips and a macaroni. The macaroni was the only meal that was 'ok'. The fish and chips was like something you'd serve a 3 year old, the peas were hard and cold, the fish was just breaded fish out a freezer, chips nothing special. The chicken bacon and avo ciabattas were tasteless, the small side salad was the best part of the meal. Noone came to ask if food was OK, noone came to ask if we wanted anything else, we had to prompt the waitresses for everything, even to clear the plates and get the bill even though there was so many people still waiting at 2pm. Bathroom - There is only one bathroom at the restaurant, no bathrooms at the main garden centre which added to the chaos. But the thing that bothered me was the bathrooms are disgusting, dirty and run down, with poor facilities, not even a place to hang your coat on thr back of yhe door and both cubicles had only very slightly opaque windows giving limited privacy. Garden Centre - After leaving the restaurant we found ourselves in another queue a mile long to enter the main garden centre, and it was chaos with too many people inside and things being broken left right and centre with not much space between tables and decorations to move. Decorations are beautiful but the vast majority are vastly over priced. There is nothing else to see apart from Christmas decorations which was a disappointment. Drove over and hour to get there, spent more time queuing and experiencing bad service than spent shopping so I think somethings not working for this Garden Centre and wouldn't recommend a visit on a weekend for sure. Go somewhere else with better food and service and more to see.

I can't give enough praise to the restaurant/cafe. The quality of food, refreshments and service never falters. Diane and her team are fantastic.

Lovely place bought some Christmas decorations and they are lovely Christmas trees are beautiful worth going to see will be going back

Disappointed in food, cost has escalated to pay for excess staff in cafe area but couldn’t find anyone in garden area to answer questions or help … it just got worse with rude staff claiming they know nothing about plants at the till-tell me again why you work in a garden centre?? Won’t be back

Really enjoyed our lunch today at Silverbirch. Service and food was really good. Prices reasonable for a Garden Centre.

I fully agree with other reviews that the staff at the SilverBirch have not got a clue and are incompetent. I visited yesterday with my elderly mother and 2 young children, my mum had £75 in garden vouchers to put towards the plants and other items we had picked up. The manner of the girl at the till was not great to say the least, and struggled with putting through the vouchers she then questioned if we had money on the vouchers, and checked with a supervisor if they accepted them, the supervisor said they don’t have a scanner so I would need to call up the number on the voucher to register, which I thought was a bit silly but we had taken a long time to pick the plants and other items so I called the number and got it confirmed you don’t need to register the vouchers and I had £75 to spend. I explained this to the girl who basically shrugged her shoulders. So we left the SilverBirch empty handed. We spent our vouchers and more in the Rosebank who don’t have a scanner either, they confirmed you just slide the voucher down the side of the contactless machine - same at dobbies!!

We have visited her on numerous occasions. I have never purchased any plants - I go straight to the interior section which is huge. A great selection of garden furniture, household goods, ornaments, candles etc. The place is memorizing and you cant help coming away with something. I have noticed that some of the items such as candle holders or diffusers they sell here are more expensive than other places by £5.00 or so, however it is a lovely shopping experience.

Arrived for lunch, quickly got seated by pleasant member of staff. Could see right away that spacing was poor. Customer walked straight in to collect cakes with no mask on. Staff walking about with masks under noses with one constantly pulling hers up then handling utensils. Food was definitely not worth £8.50. Small fish full of bones with frozen oven chips and almost uncooked peas. Wont be back. Also on way out , there was a very long queue which was lined up alongside all the people trying to eat at outside tables. No clear signs, customers entering and leaving from same stairs. Inside the shop wax even worse. Chaos ! In total a waste of £30 for a rushed, stressful lunch

I purchased the last Singapore lounge set in store on Saturday afternoon. The item had a sign stating “LAST ONE” so I immediately consulted a member of staff (Rona) so I could buy the item. The sale was successful; my payment went through on the system and I received an invoice. A SOLD sign was then put on the lounge set as I left. I was advised delivery was likely to be Tuesday (which should have been today). After the purchase that evening, I put my current garden set up for sale and successfully sold it, with it picked up on Sunday. I then received a phone call from Rona on Monday afternoon to tell me that she had bad news and that the set had been purchased by another customer that day and that they would refund me ASAP. Understandably upset, I argued that it had been sold to me and I had proof of purchase, but she didn’t seem interested.Mistakes do happen; however I cannot stress enough how disappointed I am in the lack of concern from the store. They have made no attempt to compensate me or offer me an alternative solution. They have ignored my emails of complaint which has left me no option but to write a bad review. I am now left without any garden furniture for the summer and it will be very unlikely I get anything else as everywhere seems to be sold out.

This garden centre is outstanding. I thought it couldn't get better after Christmas but it always surprises me with how beautiful it is. Friendly staff, great cafe and outstanding products. My favourite place to shop

Travelled 30 minutes for a Christmas Day out with the family. Have came her multiple times in the past and will most definitely never return. Whilst my mum was videoing some baubles she liked (free promotion for the business) she tripped over a ladder with the bottom leg lying straight over a communal walk way. The issue here is with a breach of health and safety. Our first instinct was the lack of hazard signs. I immediately alerted a member of staff for both our safety, others safety and for the business as if someone fell, they would fall into the decorations. I alerted a specific member of staff who looked like a manager (however, unsure) who had a disgusting attitude throughout. She was not interested at all. Not a single sorry or apology. I had advised for the safety of others and their business if they could signpost this and I got a look of disgust and then she simply walked away from us. I left straight away after this. I could not stand to spend money in this garden centre after being spoken to in such a way. Disgraceful. Completely patronising and lack of concern for ourselves and future customers alike.

Went into the garden centre and it was like Christmas heaven ! Couldn't believe how many Christmas tree decorations there was, and how many colours , also table and garden decorations I saw, I dont particularly like shopping but I was in for prob about 1 and a half hours and bought quite a few decorations, the staff were lovely and I would recommend the shop especially before Christmas it was unbelievable!

Reluctantly returned after poor service in the past i was unable to source baubles from any other retailer the baubles should all have been glass at cash desk i noticed a mark on one the assistant got a replacement put it in tip of box opened box today only find she had swapped it with a plastic one (wont be on my tree)I would suggest know your prices before shopping there bauble have gone up £3 in a year while its good to support retailers its not nice to be ripped off

We visited today and it was super busy. They did a fantastic job of controlling the queues into the garden centre and did temp checks at the door before you can come in so a big thank you for that, it was a great idea and I felt very safe about who was in the shop. The shop was beautifully decorated with Christmas bits, it felt like a wonderland. But the only problem was that the minute you walk into the garden centre it was almost like a free for all, no one was social distancing and there was no systems in place. I feel maybe to help the flow and crowd control is to do an one way system through out the shop to avoid people crowding around one place and pushing around to get to the next room. This way we can easily see the whole shop and all the beautiful decorations you sell.

I visited today with my sister into the garden centre.I am excempt to wearing a mask and government rules explicitly say that you should not be routinely approached for Not having one. Well...my sister was followed and accousted by a member of staff.We are middle aged woman not beligerent teen-agers.The whole experience was horrendous and abhorrent.We spent 2hours in their café without a mask and was not once accousted like we were by one member of their staff.I was going to explain when that staff member said they would be forced to call the police....the police to a garden Center.I will be writing to my local MP.for clarification....the police.ReAlly.

Went with the partner to get some bits for the garden and decided to have breakfast what a good choice that was! Tasty scran and good value too, haven't been out much in the last few months so the full english was a dream come true. Staff were wonderful too. Definitly recommend if you are nearby.

What a terrific breakfast venue my wife went for the full English presentation was great and food was delicious l decided to try something different and went for the soda scone with bacon and fried eggs again this was well cooked the establishment is very well run especially in these trying times with covaid restrictions but if you fancy a nice drive along the Clyde side this garden centre venue won’t disappoint it’s the best food in the area keep up the good work guys 9 out of 10

Visited today and it was great! We first went to the cafe which was really welcoming with a nice atmosphere. The staff were very efficient and helpful. The food came out quickly and was tasty. We did want a cake after. It couldn’t get anyone’s attention so we missed out on these tasty treats which was a shame.We then visited the shop which had a great atmosphere and was laid out well. It didn’t make you feel lien it was a retail space but more like someone’s front room. Well done, it looked great and we will be back!

This garden centre has the most amazing gift and furniture rooms with everything different from any other shop plus a garden centre and cafe, the staff are second to none and very helpful, I tell all my pals to come and they also fall in love, great buyers and visual display. A little bit of heaven and a must see.

Outstanding Christmas shop, packed with gems. Changes to homewares in the spring and the choice and taste is superb. Some genuine bargains. Nursery area dense with quality flowers, shrubs and trees. The staff are all gems. Food service is lightning fast, the cakes are awesome, and gluten-free bread is available, baked potato & salad or soup for veg/vegan and normal meat options for the rest. We are there almost every week.

we always like to come here for garden plants etc . staff very very helpful and friendly . we had a coffee and cold drink , seen lovely food going out and was well presented . . this place is very clean . would return for definite

Inviting restaurant,staff friendly and helpful.Although very late for a breakfast the chef accommodated myself and made a breakfast for me.Now that's service and deserves a second visit.Full breakfast,orange juice,toast and GOOD coffee. £7.95

A lovely place. Lots of amazing decorations and even nice just to have a walk around and get in the festive spirit.

This is by far the classiest and best Christmas display i have seen this season. Silver Birch is on the Clyde Valley tourist route on the road to LanarkHere you will find a myriad of unusual Christmas decorations and gifts. They are unique in style and are beautifully displayed to maximum effect. Some are expensive, many are affordable. A place,well worth a visit. There is a reputable tearoom but today it was just impossible to enjoy as it was busy to the point of being unpleasant.

I just cannot believe the Christmas decorations and items for sale omg its amazing!!!!! Get you're picture taken at the angel wings. The real Christmas trees were fantastic quality. Great gifts for all the family too and the coffee shop the food it to die for mmmm

Mr and my partner didn't know where to go a drive , a friend suggested visiting silverbirch garden center . We live a hour drive away. We put on the sat nav and away we went. Got there no bother, well to the road end then we had to sue for about 15 mins until we got directed to a parking space by the car park attendants. We didn't know what to expect , mabay somthing like a dobbies etc but it was nothing like that it was very small and we were round it and back in the car within 10 mins. Drove all that way for a 10 min visit . It was very busy but the reason I am it a 5 * as the display of beautiful Christmas tress were absolutely stunning. I wouldn't rush back to it especially after a 50 min drive , but it did get us out for the afternoon lol

Visited yesterday after hearing lots of fab reviews. Lunch in the cafe was lovely. Well organised and staff were very helpful! Garden centre itself was absolutely stunning. Quite on the expensive side but a total winter wonderland. There was attendants directing parking which was fab. For disabled users ground was quite muddy and slippy. Also no disabled toilet facilities in cafe which wasn’t great. Overall a lovely day out .

a great lunch here had to wait in a quee for half a hour but worth it in the end had soup and cake very good lental soup and cake size was generious portion and all was very fresh would go back enjoyed it very much

Lovely Christmas display, quality goods , but at a price. Large car park adjacent, but can get busy at times. On site restaurant serving lovely food and drinks

Went here today as we were looking for a new Xmas tree. Some of the decorations and trees were stunning.

Went here for the first time a few weeks ago as recently moved to the area. So good we went back the following weekend. Be prepared to wait for a table as there is always a queue. It's so popular and rightly so.

We’re told about this from a friend so travelled the 40 mins to get there.

Beautiful display of all things Christmas, from baubles, lights, tinsel and candles it had something for every taste whether it’s traditional or contemporary and a lovely little restaurant too boot xxx

Visited with my Mam on a trip to Glasgow after hearing about the amazing Christmas displays and products and we were not disappointed. The garden shop and all of the items were amazing. We also visited the cafe and couldn’t fault it. Gorgeous food, drinks and cake and the service was fantastic. I just wish we lived closer so that we could return!

Have visited twice now and as the first time we tried to get something to eat found people lined up outside and down the steps, we made sure we were early on this occasion. Nevertheless still a huge backlog of people waiting. Nice to wander round the garden centre but nothing outstanding.

Had a lovely lunch of goat cheese and beetroot salad followed by amazing home-made lemon sponge. My partner had a huge cream meringue, also homemade. Lovely coffee and great service.

Breakfast visit recently here. Staff were very pleasant and the food very tasty. Fair priced. Would return

Often been here and this is a good cafe in a nice independent garden centre which still assumes you are interested in plants if you come here even though lots of other stuff sold.

Have visited this cafe numerous times, and have never been disappointed with the food, but what makes this place extra special is the staff, always happy smiling and helpful, recently took my 86 year old father, and he loved it.

Keep an eye out for the entrance on this busy road. Plenty of parking and the cafe is close at hand with outside seating and good service with tasty coffee. We arrived at the switchover from summer to Christmas goods however the interior furnishings were very impressive with some unusual items and plenty of choice. The garden plants area is extensive with a better than usual selection and in August some great 2 for one bargains.

Had lunch with my mum and three year old grandson. Brilliant setting and fantastic food at a reasonable cost. Well worth a visit.

Recently visited with my wife for a light lunch . We were both disappointed with the quality of our tuna sandwiches which came on plain slightly stale bread with no butter . We were advised by a member of staff that they do not provide butter as there is demand from locals for it.. Surely if this is the case

I first visited this establishment in 2009 and have returned numerous times since. On the latest occasion my wife and I dined in the Coffee Shop with our grandchildren, aged 12 and 10, and two friends. The quality of the food has always been very good, and this time was no exception. The weather was excellent and the Halloumi / Tomato Salad was an ideal dish, in the circumstances, which certain members of our party particularly enjoyed. The lentil soup and sandwiches selected by others were also heartily devoured. The cafe staff,as previously encountered, are both friendly and efficient.

This was our first visit to this garden centre, which seems quite classy. It appears to be an ideal place to go for expensive furnishings for the interior as well as the exterior of the home. We didn’t use the restaurant so I am not able to comment on that.

We were impressed by the small but perfect choice of garden plants & planters...... then inside an array of home furnishings & accessories all very tasteful, and smelt amazing throughout, the prices all very reasonable it was so good I went back a 2nd time.... if ur into ur home interiors, accessories, candles etc this is a must see !! I loved it & everyone so pleasant & helpful my kinda place!

I visited silverbirch with my two friends for lunch one Saturday a couple weeks ago and it was wonderful! We travelled through from Ayr for the day as we heard about how fabulous this place was as I had seen photos on Facebook and it truly was. Beautiful garden centre with amazing interior design ideas and lovely defusers and candles which they make their self’s. lovely little cafe with amazing cakes and food on offer. It is dog friendly, most big dogs have to sit outside which I understand as the cafe is small but little dogs were allowed in. Lovely staff, we had a young girl with long brown frizzy/curly hair serving us in the cafe (17/18 yrs) who was so polite, I think her name was Katy. We talked to her for about 5 minutes and she was very friendly and she kept coming back to talk to us throughout our time there.she seemed very positive and suggested things that we may like and also helped us pick our cakes, I had the meringue which was huge! Also a very lovely gentleman who also stood and talked to us who seemed very energetic. Overall I would highly recommend it’s great if your looking for a wee day out

This has been our favourite Garden Center in the Clyde Valley for years. There is a good selection of plants but Silverbirch’s main attraction is the excellent selection of furniture, lamps and accessories. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful and there is a very popular restaurant.

I visited Silverbirch with my Paps yesterday, in the pursuit of buying some new plants for his garden. I approached a worker (middle-aged gentleman with grey hair and slight beard) to ask for some assistance. We were looking for plants with bright colours yet little maintenance as my Paps is elderly with very bad eye sight; he's registered blind. I mentioned all of this to the worker as I asked for his assistance, out of earshot from my Paps as to not embarrass him, however the service we received was incredibly disappointing. The gentleman's very first comment in the conversation was condescending towards my Paps and his overall manner was rude and distasteful - it couldn't have been more apparent that he couldn't at all be bothered with our custom. The worker picked up a plant beside him, one that had long leaves which fanned out from its centre, and put it into the trolley that my Paps was holding onto for support, which very visibly flicked my Paps in the face. After I moved the plant away, the worker selected another similar plant and done the exact same thing, with the plant flicking my Paps in the face again. I did not want to make a scene in front of my Paps, again as to not embarrass his pride or to cause a scene, however, this gentleman severely let Silverbirch down. I am a regular customer and have recommended this Garden Centre to many friends and family and this treatment is truly appalling, especially to a customer who requires a little extra patience and care.

Ate outdoors as the weather was particularly pleasant. Ordered anti pasti and a baguette. Food was served quickly and was fresh. Prices were pretty good considering the location I will return

Excellent choice of pots , great restaurant.lots of plants choice and interior decor to die for. Staff Re knowledgeable and will give advice on plant choice etc

Great home made tomato and basil soup. The mac n cheese is really cheesy and tasty. The burgers are great too. Weve been here several times and the food has always been decent.....lots of home made cakes, fresh and good portion sizes. You even get ice in your drinks.

Went to the Silver birch for a spot of lunch with the other half and shouldn’t have bothered we both ordered Soup and a sandwich lentil soup was cold tasteless purred and at £7.50 for soup and a sandwich slapped with margarine certainly won’t be back eye watering prices for sub standard food very disappointing

Popped in for lunch today , lovely setting , very friendly staff. Good food , but I managed to resist the cakes which looked great. It was quiet today , but sure it would be as busy as the rest on weekends. Will definitely return , it looked like the shop was having a revamp , so I’ll be back to see new lines when available.

Recently called in for lunch. Excellent service and quality food . I had the soup and sandwiches whilst my wife had a chicken baguette. Great value. Afterwards we had a look round the garden centre and the indoor garden furniture and accessories. All in All a pleasant afternoon. Very busy place.

Called into this garden centre out of curiosity. Wow. The goods for sale in the store are absolutely terrific. So different from the other valley garden centres. This one has such a choice of house items it's mind boggling

Whilst not garden centre goers we stumbled across here at Christmas and returned recently as we found the restaurant to have a lovely cosy feel with reasonable food, great cakes and coffee. Somewhere we would return and recommend. The shop has some lovely unique items giving some good ideas and inspiration for home decor too boot.

My husband and I visit Silverbirch very regularly. The Staff are always super helpful and friendly and the shop always has a great selection of stock and at a fab value. Highly recommend visiting!

Have eaten in coffee shop for many years. Over that time the quality of the food has slipped, but unfortunately the prices have only risen. Much better places just a few miles away in Lanark.

easy to find, plenty of parking, lovely garden centre and the coffee shop fabulous. lots of choice, tasty and the cakes were delicious ( got mine to take home!) staff were friendly, does get busy but plenty of tables.

The place looks amazing. The decorations for sale are displayed beautifully. The products are really classy and will hopefully last a long time. The staff were very helpful. The cafe had a great little menu and the cakes were lovely.

I enjoy Silverbirch’s Christmas decor and always purchase some decorations. You can easily spend over an hour wandering their wares in the three rooms packed with trinkets and curiosities.

My favourite garden centre. Although quite pricey very unique anyone who likes something different a bit of sparkle and amazing Christmas displays this is the garden centre for you. Although I love the Xmas displays and there always amazing thought last year was more wow than this year but still lovely to see.

We dropped in here for lunch after a visit to nearby Craignethan Castle.

Visited Silverbirch last week for the Christmas event! It was amazing, the garden centre is beautiful and the items for sale are to die for! I could decorate my house 10 times over.. The whole winter experience was fantastic and the staff were very helpful! Will come back.

Visited the garden centre and Christmas shop last weekend. We then popped in for lunch. The prices were very steep e.g. £6/7 for a baked potato however the food was decent so it's swings and roundabouts. The coffee was nice and the coffee shop itself was decorated pleasantly.

I go here regularly and the service is usually fast and friendly. The food is well priced and filling but a revamp of the menu wouldn't go amiss. Unfortunately the silverbirch garden centre restaurant is starting to tarnish.

Stopped in for late lunch. My husband had a Jacket potato with haggis and shredded cheese! A little bit of Heaven!! The cake slices were massive. Great menu selection and delicious food! Highly recommend stopping in for any meal of the day...or, just tea and a slice of their wonderful selection of cakes.
