Brief description

Previous Description: "Visit Eggesford Garden & Country Centre for Relaxed shopping in a delightful country setting, Delicious home cooked food in our Gardens Restaurant and Good old fashioned customer service.

Set in the heart of the mid-Devon countryside, Eggesford Garden and Country Centre is a great place to visit - even if you aren't a keen gardener. We are really easy to find, just off the A377 Exeter to Barnstaple road and only 5 mins from Eggesford Station.

Our aim is to be a gardener's garden centre. We achieve this by stocking a wide range of good quality plants, sourced from local suppliers wherever possible.

As well as a superb stock of plants, garden tools and sundries, we have a wide range of gifts, clothing, pet supplies and wild bird care products. Visit us at Christmas for a great range of decorations, lights, cards, wrapping paper, seasonal gifts and, of course, both real and artificial Christmas trees.

We also believe in good old fashioned customer service - if you need advice on plants and planting, help with choosing the right tool for the job, or have questions on anything else related to the garden, then assistance is readily available from our team of friendly, knowledgeable staff. We will carry goods to your car, lend a helping hand if required and also offer a delivery service in the local area.

The Gardens Restaurant serves a great choice of hot and cold meals, snacks and beverages - our delicious home-made cakes are a good enough reason alone to make a visit. Find out more by clicking on the Gardens Restaurant page.
