The Gardening Club England • A Colossal Garden Store

Here we are again on another discovery of London, England. Today we will share with you one of the largest garden centers in the UK. Just north of London, you will find The Gardening Club. A glass-covered garden super store where you will find everything that you need when it comes to gardens.

So just us today as we share with you this amazing place in London.

Before you could start exploring this place membership registration is required and will cost you £5.00. The membership is good for one year but the renewal would only cost you £2.50. A good price to pay to shop in this amazing place.

From the entrance, there are so many flowering plant seeds and vegetable seeds on display. Believe me, you will be overwhelmed with all the choices they have.

They also have planter boxes here just in case you need one. They come in different sizes to fit your needs.

This is the first section with small potted flowering plants. We are no expert in plants and would not know the names of these unless we check the label. To all the garden lovers out there feel free to comment on which ones you like most.

There is a section of plants that has fruits. Are they edible of just ornamental?

It feels like you are in a field of blossoming colors and scents. They are simply too many to check them all and everything looks so beautiful.

These would be perfect on your window sill and I have seen similar flowers in some houses around the area.

These caught my attention and I believe they are called Campanula Blue and correct me if I am wrong. More like a purple color, these are simply beautiful.

These flowers give a wedding vibe and I think would be perfect. What are your thoughts? I think this is called Hydrangea Flower.

You could easily get lost here so pay close attention to the signs in each area. A garden store with a cinema? Am I seeing this right?

If you are planning to buy something for your garden. It would be very difficult to decide as every section of the store features more and more plants. To be honest I only recognize a very few of these plants and a lot are very new to me.

These look very festive and almost looks unreal. I had to touch some of them just to make sure it is real.

These are called Mimosa flowers and looking at them feels like summer. I think we have something similar from the Philippines but has pink flowers.

I love the colors of these and look like daisies. I think they are called Osteospermum or African Daisies.

You may ask why they are selling grass here. These are called Pampas and give beautiful ornamental white feather-like flowers if it is what you call them. They are out of season so you won't see those fluffy white flowers yet.

These are tulips as indicated on the label. I didn't know they have big round bulbs at the bottom.

I was told these are Lemon cypress and have a very pleasant lemon scent. Too bad I was not able to smell it.

Also in this area, they have lemons and you get free fruits along with the tree.

If you love orchids they have a whole section for orchids with so many different colors. A bit pricey though if you want to buy all the different colors.

This is the indoor plant and a few of these plants look very familar to me as we may have them in the Philippines. If these are tropical they would definitely need to stay indoors due to the cold London weather.

These are ready to be given away to your loved ones. It has been arranged but I am sure they are planted in a pot which is much better as they will not die when you give them.

I loved how they have them wrapped and ready as a gift. Those roses look nice or perhaps the purple flowers.

Anthurium is a familiar sight we have them in the Philippines but most of the time plastic ones are sold. I recall we have a plastic one on display back home which my aunt bought.

Aloe vera is known to be great for the skin. My grandma used this to treat us when we had burns and I remember it has a cool feeling on the skin.

A section dedicated to cacti and succulents. So many varieties to choose from just be careful of the sharp needles.

If bonsai is your fancy they also have them. It will give your garden that Japanese vibe but I'm not sure what trees are these. It just says bonsai on the labels.

These flowers are very interesting and look like long green grapes. You could almost want to pick one and eat it. They are called Kalanchoe Magic Bells.

Now this really got me puzzled at first. Are they real? It took me a moment to realize they have been painted. I think this is the only thing I do not like here, which is giving the plant an artificial color for ornamental purposes.

This is more I like it with no paint just natural colors. You don't need to paint them as they are beautiful just the way they are.

The plants and flowers here are endless and impossible to stop by and see each one. You could only pass by and stop if there is something that you like.

These fern trees are one of the most expensive items in this store. Some cost around £1000 or even more depending on the size.

At this point, we don't know what section we are in now or what types of plants are in this part. We just went thru and breezed in this area.

These are laurel bay trees and the leaves smell pretty good. We use bay leaf in a lot of Filipino dishes including the famous Philippine adobo.

Olive trees are a nice addition to your garden and you can buy a baby olive tree here. I saw some big trees earlier but didn't get a photo, unfortunately.

This looks like just a dried-up twig but it will give you fresh blueberries during summer.

If you want a vine yard in your garden, you can buy grape vines and ready to be planted in your yard.

I have never heard of Vaccinium and they have different colors like purple, blue, and red. I just learned they are relatives of blue berries.

These look like small Christmas trees and would look good decorated during Christmas.

Of course, lavanders and rosemary can always be found in every garden store.

We have almost reached the end of our exploration. We wanted to have some snacks and drinks but the cafe seems to be closed at this time.

In this part, we have garden accessories and a lot of different types of pots to choose from. They have plastic, terracotta, and wooden pots.

The place was enormous and almost feels unending but it was very enjoyable to visit the Gardening Club. Of course, we needed to buy something and Mhel wanted me to buy roses for her. She loved it very much as it has been a while since I last bought her flowers.

Thank you for joining us again today and we hope you enjoyed the tour. Hope to see you again soon as we share with you more of London and the UK.

Sometimes it really doesn't cost much or free to visit beautiful places around you.

Cheers!
