A Garden Centre with Character
Born from a modest timber yard and pallet business, The Woodworks has grown into a substantial, family-run garden centre that still proudly celebrates its wooden roots. The site feels both practical and inviting, with a large plant area offering everything from hardy perennials and ornamental trees to soft fruit, roses, and seasonal bedding plants. Around it, the layout includes a garden emporium for tools and accessories, a gift shop with quirky and thoughtful items, and a showroom displaying a wide range of timber garden buildings, summer houses, and patio furniture. This blend of horticulture and craftsmanship gives the centre a distinctive, hands-on charm that appeals to serious gardeners and casual browsers alike.Plants, Gifts, and Garden Life
The outdoor plant area is a highlight, especially in spring and summer, when vibrant bedding plants, hanging baskets, and container displays create a colourful, fragrant atmosphere. The garden emporium stocks everything needed to maintain and enhance outdoor spaces, from compost and tools to decorative pots and outdoor lighting. Inside, the gift shop offers a carefully curated mix of items for gardeners, pet lovers, cyclists, and fashion enthusiasts, making it a good spot for last-minute presents or treats. The Mill showroom, dedicated to Zest timber products, showcases one of the broadest displays of garden buildings in the UK, ideal for those planning a shed, summer house, or outdoor entertaining space.The Award-Winning Café Experience
At the heart of the centre lies the Woodworks Café, an award-winning space that feels both modern and homely. Inside, the café features a wood-burning stove, oak flooring, and solid wooden tables and chairs, creating a warm, rustic atmosphere. The menu focuses on wholesome, locally sourced British fare: generous breakfasts, toasted tea cakes, fresh sandwiches, jacket potatoes, soups, rarebits, and daily specials of hot, home-cooked meals. Cakes, scones, and pastries are popular, and the baristas serve high-quality coffee, cappuccinos, and layered lattes. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are clearly marked, making it accessible for a wide range of dietary needs.A Place to Pause and Unwind
The café’s covered outdoor seating area, set among the plants and flowers, is a particular delight on mild days. Under a gazebo or in the open air, it’s easy to linger over a coffee, a slice of cake, or a full meal while watching the comings and goings of the garden centre. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, with highchairs and a welcoming attitude towards children and pets. Whether you’ve come to buy plants, browse gifts, or simply enjoy a peaceful break, the combination of greenery, good food, and a laid-back vibe makes this a destination that feels more like a destination than a typical garden centre stop.Practicalities and Accessibility
The centre is easily accessible by car, with ample on-site parking, and is located just off the A55 near Junction 33B, making it a convenient stop for those travelling between Chester, Wrexham, and Shrewsbury. The café and most of the garden centre are wheelchair accessible, with level paths and accessible toilets.
