I had a delightful visit to Ely Wilburton Garden Centre! It’s such a charming spot, not only for plant lovers but for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing day out. The garden center itself is well-stocked with a fantastic range of plants, gardening tools, and decor, making it a perfect stop for gardeners of all levels.

The highlight for me was the cute cafe—it’s an absolute gem! They offer a great selection of both hot and cold foods, perfect for any time of day. I had a delicious meal and was thoroughly impressed with the homemade cakes. They were incredibly fresh, and the flavors were just divine—definitely a must-try!

The whole experience was made even better by the friendly and welcoming staff, creating a warm atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Whether you’re visiting for the plants or the food, Ely Wilburton Garden Centre is a fantastic place to unwind, shop, and enjoy a lovely meal. Highly recommended!

A fantastic garden centre hidden away in the fens. Quality plants at competitive prices. Great gift selection and artisan food section. A lovely little coffee shop and also a restaurant. Child friendly with a pedal go-cart track and a small park which are free. Crazy golf available and an ice cream parlour. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

I personally don't like walking around garden centres, but my partner loves it. This place had a large parking area, big enough for my large van. Inside they had a large selection of plants and equipment, cafe, food shop, ice cream parlour, and even mini golf. A nice place.

We always love coming to Twenty Pence Garden Centre, it’s our favourite, probably because it’s independent.
We also love the food area, and the cafe is very accommodating to us and often our dog.
On this occasion we took our grandson there, with a view to going on the go karts and then wandering around the shop, which we always enjoy.
Sadly, our grandson fell over and grazed both his knees. We were immediately asked by a member of staff if we needed a first aider but we thought he was ok.
A few minutes later our grandson was upset and so we asked for a first aider. We waited only a moment for the first aid box to arrive, and our grandson was very carefully cleaned up, and after sporting two plasters, this seemed to make his day.
I would like to thank John for looking after our grandson so gently and for making what could have been a horrible moment such an easy one.

This is a fantastic garden centre with a huge variety of outdoor and also indoor plants. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always happy to help and show you around. Inside there are two cafes, a wide selection of garden accessories and furniture and also a large selection of gifts and food items

This is the first time in several years I have visited this garden centre. A lot of money has obviously been invested in bringing the restaurant and shopping facilities up to date. We visited on a Sunday and had some food and had a look around the retail area. The food was nice, but the service area was badly managed and organised. Staff were serving customers in a disorganised way which was confusing and also annoying. Though the tables were generally clean in the restaurant more attention should be paid to ensuring the space is also clean too. The retail area holds lots of interesting gifts and gardening tools, plus BBQs, plants, etc. In all, the place is well run, nicely kept, but it's a shame about the annoyances in the restaurant. Prices here are higher than Dobbies or chain garden centres but that's kind of what you expect from an independent.

We had a lovely time. Especially impressed by the cafe and the choice of gluten free food available. The staff were so helpful and friendly, we will definitely be visiting again

We had a strange experience just now, I picked up a creme egg on the way out, but when I started to unwrap it I could see that it had been unwrapped before and was dirty and dusty (maybe dropped on a floor?). My husband nipped back in to swap it for a clean one, and the manager was really unpleasant and confrontational about it to him, although he eventually did get a new one. I mean, it's only a 99p creme egg?
