Neal’s Nurseries

Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous!
I’ve recently gotten really into windowsill gardening and have been filling all available spaces with tiny green loveliness. I was looking for a good garden shop that offered real variety (unlike the chain stores which seem to offer not much and a lot of it), and learned about Neal’s. I’m so glad I did. While it is awkwardly located just across from a prison, the place is just great. Pots galore; a beautiful selection of bedding plants and other outdoor selections; and a great indoor shop featuring a greenhouse of houseplants, a wealth of garden tools, indoor pots and planters, and gifts for gardeners.
While I’ve come to expect independent shops to be a touch more expensive than the chain stores (and am ok with this as I like supporting the little guy), I was pleasantly surprised at the super reasonable pricing at Neal’s! I ended up bringing home more and larger plants than I would have anywhere else as they were so well priced. I kept going on about this to my husband, who very kindly didn’t say too much as I added plant after plant to our basket!
Definitely a place I’ll be visiting on a semi-​regular basis!

Not only am I a spaz but I’m a spaz without a green thumb. These guys sorted me out!
I don’t want to tell my husband how much I love this place because Im afraid he’ll veto it as I can already tell its going to be my new fave shopping spot.
Its across the road from the cutest prison I ever did see! Cute plants and stuff outside, really not as fug as I thought it would be. Ok, back to the nursery, ample parking, great staff who know what they’re talking about and when they don’t know they find out for you right then and there. Lets talk selection, as far as pots go, a pot’s a pot. They have many, if you’re looking for some they have them.
The plants/​herbs outside were really nice looking and the ones inside were gorgeous. I bought a mini orange tree that reminds me of the Orangery in Kensington park. So gorgeous. All the knickknacks they have are really cute and not very expensive either. I really love this place for garden supplies, soil, flowers and herbs and stuff.
Now if they only sold green thumbs. wish me luck.

Pots! Freaking LOADS of pots!
That’s what greats you as you enter Neal’s Nurseries. It’s a pot fest. Little ones, round ones, glass ones, square ones, silver ones… You get the picture. If you want something to put your plant’s in that isn’t the ground, you’ll do well here.
So, that’s your pots sorted. Inside you’ve got your regular garden centre type stuff — a good selection of tools, seeds, other… err…things you need for your garden.
Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and are happy to offer up advice — but don’t expect help to come to you — you gotta go and seek help on your garden related conundrums.
It’s in a bit of a weird location though — right opposite Wandsworth Prison. Not sure if that matters, but it’s probably best to avoid picking up a spade when you hear about an escape on the news.
