Ashton Park Notcutts Garden Centre, Ashton-under-Lyne

I am disappointed in the garden centre and the agency they use for Santa and the elf as it is very important that staff are checked out working with children (dbs checks) the Santa they employed up untill today ha a fully inhanced dbs but they have now got anew one who is abit bigger than the old one who has not been checked out for any convictions so could actually be anyone .i think that this is disgusting and will not be taking my kids there again

I arranged a trip out for my learning disabled students to this garden centre yesterday. We used the cafe and staff were extremly helpful and courteous. My students absolutely loved the displays outside - they all played the 'plant piano' and liked looking at the fish in the bath and the 'bed' of flowers. A member of staff got the parrot out and talked to the students about it. All in all a lovely experience - thanks.

I have been to this garden centre 3 times and on every occasion the special offers and reductions have not been updated on the computer till . When I told the manager he did'nt even seem bothered saying. "We just haven't got around to updating the till yet". This I believe is actually illegal. Im not going there again but check your receipt if you do!

I recently went back to the garden centre and was shocked how much it as gone down

The flowers are just left to die off,they should be given away most of them.

Inside now is mostly taken up with clothes!!

Very small amount of gifts and houses thing's

The best thing in there is the card selection!!

Don't bother going unless you really don't have anywhere to go.

If you want an excellent garden centre go to bents what I call a garden centre.

Recommend but sorry we called. No staff about. When we asked to speak to the manager he was too busy eating his lunch. Enquired about help in the outdoor area. Told they all at lunch. Attitude of staff we did manage to find was appalling they didn't give a monkeys . Recommend that the manager and his staff. Go On A training course for manners and customer care. Try Bents garden centre in glaze bury. They have excellent stock. Fabulous cafe and incredibly helpful and well mannered staff.

Recently we took my daughter to see santa and I can honestly say he was the best santa ever. He gave my daughter a lovely welcome and spent a good time talking to her. Would go back again.

Lovely garden centre, nice cafe and aquatic centre!

We now use Ashton Moss as it has excellent access for Hubby's wheelchair and the Sage gardening club gives us discount off all purchases plus free gifts. The range of goods is excellent and the staff pleasant and very helpful.I save petrol and time using one centre and have tried lots of local ones, but this is the best.The centre is a good size but not so big its exhausting. All facilities are easy to find too ie cafe and toilets, saves all that wandering round that you have at bigger places.

Lovely garden centre, though like all garden centres a bit expensive. I would rate it higher than 3 stars but with working full time I can only go at weekend because it doesn't stay open late at night. If it stayed open till 8pm I would mark it higher. I visited the tropical fish dept. at weekend, the staff are very knowledgeable and we're a great help. The fish tanks are extremely clean. I also like the addition of the Edinburgh Wool shop and Cotton Traders shop.
