Ansell Garden Centre - West Drayton

Anti-Hero

Absolute gem of a garden centre with on-site cafe. You could easily spend a day here, there’s so much to see and eat. I love the breakfast menu, nice to see halal options, the shakes are a must and the diverse offering of desserts are to die for. They also have slush puppy machine, perfect to cool down on hot days. Reasonable prices and very friendly staff who are on hand to help if needed.

You’ll find everything you need for your garden plus great gifting ideas. The selection sort of reminds me of past times, the olde wolde charm, quite nostalgic in many ways and a rarity for the times we are living in. Plenty of parking space too.

This is an amazing garden centre. This is the first time we have ever visited this garden centre and it certainly is not the last time we will visit here. The atmosphere is lovely. The garden centre is fairly big,it’s bigger than Ducks Hill/Hillier Garden Centre in Ruislip but it’s smaller than Flowerland in Iver. The garden centre is light,airy and spacious. The price of the items aren’t too bad as well. They have loads of amazing items,the candles and champagne flute candles were eye catching. They have loads of amazing lights too and they have a good variety of crisps too. They also have a huge garden area full of plants too. They had a great variety of natural plants. They also have a small aquarium too(indoor and outdoor)which is great and you can buy fish here and equipment too! They have a cafe which has beautiful floral decor and they have a car wash too. The food that they sell in the cafe’s promo pictures looked amazing and they even do a Prosecco Afternoon Tea too. The toilets are clean too. They also have a fruit shop that sells Yankee Candle at the entrance too. Overall I can’t recommend this garden centre highly enough. It’s much better than Smith’s in Uxbridge or Ducks Hill/Hillier in Ruislip. The entrance door is the second door just to give you a heads up.

They have the most incredible Christmas section. They have the most beautiful Christmas model village I have ever seen and it just made my heart encourage me to take photos of it! Craig was very helpful too. They had nice Christmas cards too. The toilets are very clean. They sell Illy coffee here too. I would highly recommend this garden centre and the Christmas section.

We walked to the garden centre, which is not the most accessible of places! It was worth it though, as the place is a riot of colour. We bought several houseplants and were assisted by Reece to find some plants for our balcony that would survive the winter. He was polite and friendly. Then we decided to have a quick hot chocolate at the cafe, which was lovely. Our server, who I unfortunately cannot remember the name of, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, asking us about where we travelled from, and whether we were new to the area. She gave us a loyalty card that she had already stamped so that next time we visit we could get a free drink! A very special place, with wonderful employees. Would recommend.

Amazing garden centre, so much taken care of by the lovely and knowledgeable people! I’m so impressed- the garden centre itself and the cafe are so welcoming, clean and very well stocked & organised. There is a good selection of other garden related items, like BBQ, pizza ovens, furniture, decorations and books. Very well managed and super happy with their friendly and polite staff! We were given a very thorough advice on the plants and well served at the check out. They put everything in the cardboard trays, which made it so easy to place to and remove from the car, not mentioning no mess. Thank you! And we’ll be back!! Highly recommend Ansell Garden centre and the cafe inside!

I've been to so many garden centres in my lifetime and in my opinion this has to be in my top 3. This place is filled with much joy along side the fresh smell of well cut grass. Honestly there isn't to much to say about this place. The atmosphere is nice and you have everything you need for you're gardening adventures!! Also to top things off the employees that worked there really tied the whole experience for me, especially this young bloke Fletcher (the man in green). Although he was busy he put everything aside and helped my mom and I get the things we needed, he's extremely knowledgeable about gardening and treated us with kindness and even placed the heavy bags of soil onto our cart. If you're looking for a quiet and well stocked place to buy all you're gardening goods come here!!!

This the place I find peace and happiness by seeing my favourite plants spending a day in the side cafe with my nephew, All the staff are very kind and helpful . Today I met Fay who start just month ago, I found her very helpful and friendly with her help I found my favourite plant Wisteria with very reasonable price.
We talked a lot about the plants. She showed me some good quality roses as well.
Thank you to all the staff.

We had a fabulous experience at Ansells. The water feature we purchased was just what we wanted. The best part of the experience was the service we received ! Nothing was too much trouble. Even though the item we purchased was no longer available we were offered the display item at a significant discount and it was dismantled, cleaned up and fantastically packaged for transport. Truly impressive service so thank you all very much, especially Nicky
