Gordon Riggs in Walsden is in my opinion the best garden centre in the world, I love how it has grown over the years and every visit there seems to be something new, I always find what I am looking for when I go and more often than not find lots of things I wasn't looking for. I have decided to grow my own veg with my daughter this year and have found everything we could want at Riggs along with friendly helpful advice from their staff who are always on hand to answer any questions but are never pushy with sales. Their prices are very competative, everything is very reasonable.
My 2 year old daughter loves it there, she likes looking at the the marine fish, starfish and the tortioses and loves "driving" in their car trollies In fact we took her to the zoo the other week and halfway round she asked if we could go to the garden centre now! I always let her have a ride on the reindeer in the house plants dep, because I used to ride on it too when I was a child, I can't believe it's still going.
Oh and there is no place on earth that is as Christmassy as Riggs in December, even turkeys would come out all excited for the big day!
