Garden inspiration in Manchester

“The olive garden nursery is a fantastic setting for babies and young children. The staff are warm, friendly and caring! They really do go above and beyond to welcome all parents and most importantly, the children that they look after. The rooms are beautiful and very well equipped to ensure they promote a happy environment and a safe and secure place for the children to play and learn. I can’t recommend this nursery enough and guarantee that you won’t be disappointed if you send your child/children here.”

“Amazing service!! Very happy with the flowers I got. They looked so pretty in real life and in photos. Very good customers service, Molly got me exactly what I wanted in the budget I wanted I as well. 100% recommend”

“Wonderfully beautiful flowers at a reasonable price. They put together the perfect arrangement in next to no time”

“I have to say I love this place, from the AMAZING banana bread to the healthy feel good juices! Also if your lucky enough to qualify for the delivery service they couldn't be more helpful, I called up the other night at 10pm to leave a voicemail to ask for a change to my delivery & Chris answered, I had to go away early the next morning so he said he would try his best to get them to me before I left & he did! Thanks Chris your a star!!”

“Lovely staff in the cafe. In fact I wouldn’t call it a a cafe. I would call it a cafe I wold call it an restaurafe. The only down side was our drinks ( mine an extra hot cappuccino) was sat waiting for the waitress to take it to me. Therefore, it was cold when it reached our table. We were very close too where they make the coffee. The food was lovely and I was provided with with a bag for the other half of the wrap I couldn’t eat so I could take home. The Butcher’s had an amazing array of meat. The steak beef burgers that I bought were the best that I have ever tasted. The young lad that served me was very knowledgeable too. The staff in the grocery department were brilliant too especially when I asked the lady for ‘a quarter’ of pear drops ( I’m old school at 53) she didn’t bat an eyelid and gave me my (quarter) of sweets. What can I say? 24ct gold service.”

“A very Beautiful place, and was a pleasure to met the Alan Turing statue.”

“Very nice place to have a few drinks and some delicious pub food reasonably priced. The Botanist is beautifully decorated, the cocktails and selection of drinks is is impressive. I really enjoyed my halloumi hanging kebab and sweet chili fries. The staff is very approachable and attentive. Special thanks to our waiter Sam who kindly made sure that we were happy and well attended at all times. Will go back :)”

“Limited offer for autumn but had compost. Often have excellent plants and a lot of basic garden necessities.”

“I was there at 9am this morning and was served on the till by a lovely lady - as I was wandering around I could hear how beautifully she was talking to each customer - I asked her name and it was Carole - we should celebrate great customer service”

“The service of the shop was excellent and the sellers were in full respect with the customers... everything was excellent, especially the staff”

“Great food. Really nice service with a smile and happy to help. Been getting chips here for a while. Which I love. But never tried the food until tonight. The Chinese food is superb. It's not greasy or sickly and tastes really good. I would definitely recommend. Even if it's just for the service with a smile. :-)”

“Love this store. So many things you can buy here. What a bargain shopping here.”

“Great store, large with a huge selection of items one requires throughout their daily life. For items as well as furniture and even DIY items. The store boasts a large outdoor garden centre too. Prices are very reasonable if not less than most stores! A must visit.”

“Always helpful and willing to offer good advice. Never been disappointed, whatever I have wanted.”

“Quick response quality products, best price about..highly recommended”

“Best place I’ve ever been to, I love the plants, especially the grass.”

“Brilliant place to visit. Well stocked and plenty to choose from. We went for a lamp for our tortoise table and the staff were really helpful and knew exactly what we needed. Also helped us with a new substrate and a thermometer. There was plenty of parking too so it was easy to load the car. I can recommend Swell reptiles and will definitely be going again.”

“Amazing service. My boys look, smell and feel beautiful. One of my dogs has skin allergies, Garden Tails were equipped for this and used the appropriate products. Gosia treated my fur babies like her own. Thank you so much”

“I have no hesitation in recommending Wayne of Olympian Water Gardens. He has such creative ideas while still being open to suggestions as well as excellent professional skills to bring it all to life. Most of all he loves what he does which means he goes the extra mile with an attention to detail that is second to none. Wayne kept us informed every step of the way, was friendly and courteous, did everything he promised and more.”

“Wonderful hospital with children patients caring need. Good staff.”

“A really wonderful nursery. New build with lots of spaces indoors and a really big and beautiful outdoor garden, the biggest we've seen in nearby nurseries. The ethos is great and the staff are all knowledgeable and friendly. By definition of a childcare facility, it really gives children the care they deserve.”

“Spent a weekend at the Gardens Hotel. The hotel is centrally located, close to tram stops, the railway station and the main shopping areas. There are three good museums within 20 minutes of the hotel as well as plenty of places to eat! The hotel itself was great - the room (117) was spacious and clean, with a TV, tea & coffee making facilities and very good shower. The cooked breakfast was very good, and the hotel staff friendly and helpful. On our final day we were allowed to store our luggage there while we spent our final day in Manchester. Only negative point is that there is a pub and a nightclub behind the hotel that can get noisy! But despite that, I would happily come back to stay here and can definitely recommend this hotel!”

“Highly recommended, fantastic service and beautiful flowers x”
