Let’s talk about the café. It’s the heart of the operation, a little wooden-clad nook with mismatched chairs and a chalkboard menu. The coffee is strong, the scones are warm, and the millionaire’s shortbread is a non-negotiable purchase. You can sit here, watching the world trudge past with bags of bark chippings, and feel a deep, civilised calm.
They also run workshops on everything from wreath-making to propagating succulents. “It’s cheaper than therapy and you get to take a plant home,” said the owner, Dave, with a wink. He’s right. There’s something profoundly grounding about plunging your hands into soil and muttering sweet things to a fern. Practical tip: the propagation workshop is every first Saturday. Book ahead, it sells out faster than Taylor Swift tickets.
