Shopping Guide: Glow Garden Centre
Garden Centre Shopping Guide
Having visited this garden centre, here's a breakdown to help you decide if it's the right place for your gardening needs:
Why You Should Visit
- Excellent Sales & Pricing: The main draw is undoubtedly the sales! You'll find heavily discounted items, as the centre often has sales events. For example, during a past sale, 12-inch hanging baskets were priced at $14 each, and single plants were just $4.
- Wide Plant Selection: You can find a great assortment of plants here.
- Beautiful Flowers: Shoppers can expect to find a beautiful array of flowers. I found lovely hydrangeas and geraniums myself.
- Variety Beyond Flowers: Beyond the colorful blooms, the location offers bushes and fruit plants, like raspberries.
- Competitive Prices: The general consensus is that the prices are good.
Why You Might Consider Alternatives
- Seasonal Operation: Be aware that the centre may not be open year-round. It appears to close at certain times of the year, potentially reopening in May. Always check operating hours before heading over.
- Limited Retail Experience: Based on the reviews, this isn't necessarily a fully-fledged shop; it might be more of a plant sale.
- Potential for Sold-Out Items: Due to the great prices and popularity, certain items, especially during sales, may sell out quickly. It's best to visit early in the sale to avoid disappointment.
- Limited Inventory: The sales only last for a certain period of time. For example, one sale had the final day on June 22.
- Unclear Information: There is no clear information on when it will reopen.
