Hulme Community Garden Centre - Manchester

Hanan

I love this place, very peaceful and chill. Staff are very friendly & they let you look around for as long as you need to, without interrupting. They are helpful, just ask. There is a little cafe too ( I'm yet to visit it). The shop is spacious & has lots of interesting stuff. They also have a 'pot rescue' where you can take old/ used pots home for free!! different sizes & all in good condition. Sending lots of love to the people who work here 🙂

*You will also find 2 little cute cats hanging around, so adorable!

An oasis of nature in the middle of the city.
Lovely place for having a break and a cup of a tea. Friendly staff.
The garden features different spaces available for activities, classes and for hire.
There is a refill station for detergents/cleaning products and the shop sells a good variety of eco friendly products.
Kids and family will love visiting the garden, as there are lots of fun and interesting events happening throughout the year. And 2 lovely resident cats help making the visitors feel welcome. What's not to love?

Cute little garden centre providing a lovely escape back to nature in Manchester city centre. The staff seem to know their stuff and answered our questions with a knowledgeable but approachable air. Always good to support small businesses too. Nice range of plants available at decent prices, and the plants themselves seem well looked after so can feel confident that you're buying quality products.

A unique & unusual kind of Garden Center. It's a great place to visit. Nice collection of plants at reasonable prices. Has a cafe and a lovely Garden at the back to walk around. It often has activity & Fun days, Gardening courses etc. Recently i visited and enjoyed the Pumpkin Hunt and carving event & craft fair. It's a little oasis of Nature in the middle of a bustling City. Go visit when you have time.....YOU WON'T REGRET IT👍😊👍

A plant lovers paradise in the middle of a bustling city. The staff are very caring and attentive. The food was delicious, we had the filled bagels. Coffee was good. You could spend a long time wandering around the gardens very peaceful. The plants are fair priced as are the terracotta pots. A very well thought out place to relax. Looking forward to returning

Ann unexpected gem in an unforgiving urban landscape. Lovely staff, and great coffee too. Get back to nature in a Manchester suburb. A great find.

Just visited their newly opened cafe and eatery and was very impressed. Lovely friendly service with handy recommendations - always good to have. The food was soooo tasty - I had goats cheese and chutney sandwich on sourdough that all was fresh and yummy. Friend had vegan bacon and egg sandwich which he said was really tasty and fulfilling. A couple of coffees in gorgeous (handmade?) cups and saucers. Then we had a look around the new shop - much bigger and with more to choose from compared with the old shop. Really happy I went and that they’re only around the corner from home. We’ll be back for a Sunday brunch soon!

They've updated the layout since the last time I was there and it's made a huge improvement. It feels much more like a professional garden centre whereas before it felt like a community project. This isn't a pro or a con but if you're anything like me then be prepared to find yourself lost at some point. One thing I think this place needs is a much better selection of pots. It would be even better if they hosted some 'make your own' pottery events.
