Greenhouse People Oxford North
What customers say
Greenhouse People Oxford North operates a show site at Yarnton, Kidlington, where visitors can view a range of greenhouses, sheds and summerhouses before ordering. James Cooze and David Fardon are named repeatedly by customers as the site managers who guide selection, explaining features, dimensions and self-build considerations for different models. Reviewers describe the display as well organised, with clear pricing and the ability to adjust door and window positions on some shed ranges, a flexibility noted as absent from other brands seen elsewhere. Quotes are typically provided quickly after a visit, and orders for greenhouses ranging from small 5ft by 4ft models to larger 28ft structures have been placed and later delivered within a few weeks. Aftercare is mentioned favourably, including a faulty item being replaced under guarantee close to its expiry date. Staff knowledge and friendliness are consistently highlighted, along with a lack of pressure during the buying process. The Yarnton site is open daily, including Sundays from 10:30am to 4:30pm, making it accessible for weekend visits alongside full weekday hours from 9am to 5pm.

If you are looking for a new shed then I recommend The Greenhouse People at Yarnton Nursery (now Blue Diamond) Sandy Lane Kidlington. I recently purchased a Shedfast 8’ x 6’ Pent Shed from them and was extremely impressed by the professional and helpful staff there. James Cooze (Oxford North Site Manager) took the time to find out exactly what I wanted and was able to show me a variety of already built sheds on display so that I could make up my mind. I was able to go inside the shed and see the superb quality of the build - much better than the shed I was replacing! He was also able to recommend Richard Dunk to build the shed for me as he is one of their installers and has extensive knowledge of the product. I bought the shed and delivery was arranged with Palletline. I was kept up to date throughout and the shed arrived exactly on time. The actual build took longer as I was warned that Richard is busy and in demand but he was definitely worth waiting for as my shed is now up on a new level base and looks set to last for a very long time! So……don’t buy a shed unseen online - visit the Greenhouse People and get expert advice and a chance to actually see different sheds on their show site before you make up your mind. Then make sure you get an expert installer to build the shed for you - you won’t regret it. I know this to be true because I have a new shed on a level base that I am absolutely thrilled with.
Great service. Direct and to the point... worked well with me. Gave all the information and more that I needed and could answer all the questions I asked. Certainly knew their stuff!! Would definitely recommend them and go back anytime again in future. Very happy with my purchase! :))
Good display of sample buildings, sheds and greenhouses on site. Expert advice and knowledge by James Cooke, the Show Site Manager. James sent us a quote which we accepted and now looking forward to delivery and installation.
A very good company to deal with. Very knowledgeable from the start about the products available and clearly displayed prices and dimensions so was easy to navigate before we spoke to the sales person. James was very helpful with the options available and the price was within our budget so we went ahead with the purchase. Looking forward to taking delivery in a few weeks.
Very efficient service from James. Due to the very helpful phone call to them i was prompted to visit the site in person. James explained all shed details very thoroughly was flexible with delivery details and offered on site construction which i declined.
A very well designed display with a good range of garden buildings. We were impressed by the shed collection that can be adapted to our needs including door and window positions . Other brands had no such flexibility. Very helpful staff to guide us though the design. Order placed and confirmed. Great personal service.
We have almost bought a replacement shed in the recent past, but found the choices a little overwhelming. James Cooze, the Oxford North Site Manager at The Greenhouse People, was incredibly helpful and the whole process was wrapped up, and delivery arranged in half an hour. The shed is perfect.
