Hellesdon Barns Garden Centre
What customers say
Garden pots, plants, trees and ornaments form the core of what customers describe finding at Hellesdon Barns, alongside a chocolate cafe on site at Hellesdon Hall Road in Norwich. Something that features in review after review is the sheer variety of stock, particularly the range of pots and garden ornaments, which several visitors say exceeds what they have found at other garden centres in the area. Staff are consistently described as friendly and knowledgeable, offering helpful advice on plant choice and, in at least one case, guidance on selecting a tree suited to a courtyard setting. Seasonal purchases such as Christmas trees are mentioned favourably, with one customer noting a pot-grown tree bought several years ago that has continued to thrive. Delivery of larger items, including trees, is described as prompt and handled professionally. Pricing is raised positively by more than one reviewer, who found the pots and plants reasonably priced compared with other garden centres they had visited. The combination of plant selection, ornaments and on-site refreshments appears to encourage repeat visits, with some customers admitting they return regularly once discovering the range available. The centre opens seven days a week, closed only on Mondays, with slightly shorter Sunday hours, making it accessible for weekend visits to browse stock or seek advice on a specific garden project.

Amazing selection of trees, exactly what we were looking for - we received some great advice when selecting a tree for our courtyard, and the delivery was both prompt and professional. Very happy with the results!!
Lots of lovely pots and plants, not to mention the very kind and helpful owners. This all added up to an enjoyable visit. We'll be back!
Wow, really friendly garden centre with Amazing garden pots that are different to other garden centres and at a reasonable price lots of plants again at more than reasonable prices, and an awesome coffee shop too. 5 star
Excellent place for pots, ornaments and plants. I can highly recommend the pots and the owner is really lovely and helpful.
Love it! Brilliant place, absolutely loads of different things to purchase. Plantmania is my favourite place at Plantmania. Prices, variety and Customer Service is the best! We have already completed areas of our garden thanks to the amazing selection of plants.
Not a bad place to visit plenty in the garden centre outside pots and plants a couple of other shops in there too but not the best by a long way. But a very helpful man he was lovely.
Always get my Christmas tree from here. Good prices. Great trees. Lovely friendly man selling them. I bought a pot grown tree here 3 years ago and it is still thriving
