点评:Trowell Garden Centre seems to have been here since time began. I grew up with it being my local garden centre - it's where my elderly brother did work experience, it's where we came as a family every now and again and it's where I've walked to from my house ob hot summer days every so often.
It's a nice garden centre with a really good selection of plants in their extensive outer yard, pleasant indoor household items, and a built-in aquarium.
There is also a really good cafe (Diggs Cafe) on site, and this is very nice.
There is a very large car park on site, and a smaller overflow car park too. You never have much difficulty parking at Trowell Garden Centre.
These days I only really come at Christmas. There is always a lovely array of Christmas items on sale, but I only really come for the terrific, vast model Christmas village they have on display. It's a thing to behold! It seems to get bigger every year, and I revert to a childlike state whenever I see it.
Unfortunately the cafe was closed when I came this year. I shall make a special effort to return for the cafe in 2025.
And on that note, this is my final review of 2024 - 212 in total that have taken me from Ashford to Ashbourne, Langley Mill to London, Newbury to Nice, Heanor to Hastings and Pinxton to Playa Blanca.
Here's hoping 2025 is just as busy!
翻译:特罗威尔花园中心似乎从一开始就在这里。它是我长大的地方花园中心——我哥哥在这里工作,我们一家人时不时来这里,炎热的夏天我偶尔从家里步行到这里。
这是一个不错的花园中心,宽阔的外院里有各种各样的植物,室内有宜人的家居用品,还有一个内置水族馆。
现场还有一家很棒的咖啡馆(Diggs Cafe),非常好。
现场有一个非常大的停车场,还有一个较小的溢流停车场。在特罗威尔花园中心停车从来都不是太难。
这些天我只在圣诞节才来。这里总是有各种各样的圣诞商品出售,但我来这里只是为了看看他们展示的漂亮、巨大的圣诞村模型。真是值得一看!它似乎每年都在变大,每当我看到它,我就会回到童年的状态。
不幸的是,今年我来的时候咖啡馆关门了。我会特别努力在 2025 年再来咖啡馆。
就此而言,这是我对 2024 年的最终回顾 - 总共 212 年,我从阿什福德到阿什伯恩,从兰利米尔到伦敦,从纽伯里到尼斯,从希纳到黑斯廷斯,从平克斯顿到普拉亚布兰卡。
希望 2025 年也一样忙碌!
