It was a good garden centre, with many unusual items. There was some fabulous statuary there all at reasonable prices. The plants were a good quality, as was the garden furniture. The reason for only 4 stars was the restaurant, the menu could be more adventurous, we had intended to have lunch there but there was nothing that inspired us on the menu, so we had a coffee and went elsewhere for lunch. Shame.

It's a nice garden centre and an independent one which is nice to see. Good to walk around even if not buying. Has a café and does a decent cappuccino.

Beautiful, inspiring displays of a very wide variety of plants. Also an enormous range of garden ornaments, tools, lights etc. Almost the best thing though are the staff who are knowledgeable, willing and actually offer to help as well as quickly jumping onto the tills to make sure customers don't have to wait to pay. I wish other businesses would train their staff this way!

A great diversity of plants offered in this shop, from the local ones, jasmine, roses to the lemon and palm trees. You can even buy venus traps for about £5 each there. Gardening tools and ornaments are also available through specialised departments. I bought myself some palm trees at £36 each and some spray to get rid of the sawfly trouble of my roses. I really like it and will return for some more stuff.

Massive Gorila in the front of the shop? Nice. Great range of plants. Only problem? The people who drive round the car park.

This must be one of the best family- run garden centres in the country. There is always a huge variety of fresh, healthy plants - all the favourites and more unusual, interesting varieties. The displays always look stunning. The staff are friendly and helpful; the service is quick and easy. I have been a very satisfied customer for many years and my Smith’s plants, shrubs, trees, and furniture have lasted for decades. The business is an absolute credit to the Smith family.

Possibly the best Garden centre in Bucks and Berks. This gem was a late find for us, having driven past before and thinking it was a small nursery. How wrong!! The range of plants out does all of the local Major Chains. Everyone is friendly and so knowledgeable. Highly recommend Smith's for choice and service

This is one of the better garden centers in the area that has most things that would need. We just stopped to get some bird seed but here you can see it has cactii. There is also a restaurant if you want to stop to eat

A huge garden centre. Very easy to park in their free car park. This place has everything you need for your garden. Massive selection of plants. Huge selection of planters and pots. Garden tools, manure, soil, paving slabs. Really, there is everything you could ever want for your garden. They even have a large selection of sheds and cabins. Very reasonable prices. Well worth s visit.

Awesome garden centre, not the cheapest but excellent quality and a huge array of plants. Staff can be a bit of a nightmare to find if you don't know what you're looking for or where to find it. The missus loves it at Christmas when it's all dressed up and put up.

I hadn't been here till recently, and I should have come here years ago! It has a fantastic range of products, through its higgledy piggledy greenhouses. They have garden ornaments, lots of plants, a big selection of garden buildings such as sheds and log cabins. I know that may seem fairly standard for a garden centre, but I think you'll be surprised at the size. The size of it is deceptive form the road, and it is totally worth a trip!

The best garden centre I've found locally. Great selection and mostly carries good stock levels. Unless you want mint.

Wow, amazing garden centre. Friends have been saying how wonderful Smith's is for some time, finally got there today....and it is. Massive selection of strong healthy plants, and a good variety of mature plants and trees. I'll be back. Now all I need is a bigger garden!

Very good customer service. Wide range of plants and even though you pay a bit more it is very important to support your local retailers. Smith's has good quality of plants unlikely than the big retailers.

We had a delicious lunch here last week with some of our residents from Chalfont Lodge Care Centre, and we had a selection of hot sandwiches, jacket potato etc. The staff are friendly and attentive and made us very welcome during our visit. They have a great selection of items to look at inside and outside.

It's a huge garden centre. Wonderful variety of plants and vegetation for your garden. There is parking on-site for plenty of cars. The Tree and Hedge company has a plot/office within the ground of the garden centre.

We actually visited to pick up a package from Cotton Traders located within the garden centres shop but decided to have a quick look around. There is a vast selection of plants, flowers, shrubs and trees at Smith's Garden centre and they seem to cater for any sized garden too. As we didn't buy anything, I haven't given 5 stars as I don't know what the prices are like. We would definitely visit again for something nice for the garden or even just something to do. It's well laid out. Some walk was are too small for wheelchair access bur it won't stop you seeing most of what they have to offer.

Superb garden centre. A quiet place to come and buy flowers, plants, bbq's, garden furniture, sheds and cabins or just a place to come and have a browse around and have a cup of tea with a bit of cake (I highly recommend the rhubarb cake - to die for!) and relax. They also have a Cotton Traders shop here which is very handy. All in all I have become a regular visitor and I highly recommend it.

A really lovely garden centre. With everything under one roof .. stunning plants shrubs flower pots and baskets. Pet care and petfood. Ornaments and fab gifts in abundance. A nice cafe too serving hot food and drinks. Also sells garden furniture but some are on the expensive side as are some plants and pots. Staff here are helpful and friendly. Will always visit here and would recommend to friends and family.

Well what can I say about Callum and the customer service we have had, We have had a lot of issues with garden furniture we purchased and I must say this has nothing to do with the garden centre, I spoke to Callum and he sorted it out with the supplier and has resolved everything, Excellent customer service and I have no problems in recommending this company, they really do care about there customers You have a client for life with me and the family Amazing Thanks again Peter and gemma lawrence

Our local choice for the quick ddaash for a plant to fill a gap or a light meal. Broad range of plants kept in good condition while waiting for the right purchaser. Constantly being upgraded and developed so allways worth a wander round.

Was always big and now becoming huge. Not just garden supplies (which are increasingly hard to find), but clothes, furniture, fancy goods, fish, and a big coffee shop.Still a locally owned business, making a change from the big chain centres. Easy parking and friendly staff all the way up to owner/boss Norman.

This a privatisation owned garden centre with a wide range of outdoor and indoor plants and the things that go with them. They have an extensive range of pots, tools, plant foods and equipment together with garden furniture, barberry equipment, etc. and the usual range of gifts garden centres Regards as necessary these days. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and always a pleasure to meet.

Smiths is very local to me and one of the largest garden centres within a ten minute drive of my house and there are several to choose from. I can't say if it is the cheapest but there is plenty to look at including garden statues and some quirky garden ornaments. There is also a small restaurant on site which serves good food. Plenty of parking.

Single handily the best garden centre I've been to. Took up gardening as a hobby when me and the wife bought our first house locally to Smiths. First year wasted a fortune at Homebase then a was put onto Smiths by a mate who use to run it. It turns out the owner (tall guy who whistles - Jon Petitfer) likes to employ locals who all clearly enjoy working there. Probably the size of 3 footballs easy. Happily spend a fortune in there, support your local businesses.
Danny McEvoy
23:10 13 Jun 17
Good selection of plants of all types, very many ornaments and a stupendous selection of garden sheds/furniture! The staff are friendly too. In the back of the main shop there is Bertram's, serving a good selection of food but I particularly enjoy their breakfast; inside, outside under cover or alfresco.

11:07 01 May 17
Other garden centres and D.I.Y stores offer similar types of products that are sometimes a little cheaper. Smiths has far superior quality goods that are only marginally more expensive and in some cases cheaper. The main difference is the goods from Smiths will outlast cheaper rivals many times over. Knowledge of staff is excellent too, you try asking a wet behind the ears 16 year old assistant in B&Q what the best plant for a pot in a shady area would be and they would most likely not have a clue.
