WELCOME.
Hello & Welcome to Conkers!
The Garden Centre is now fully open but we still have hand sanitizer at the entrance and screens at the tills for the time being.
The Riverbank Tearoom is open too, with well spaced tables and waitress service.
The Dog Cafe was a pop up in 2019 but sadly was not a success, so has closed permanently. It has not been open since March 2020 and neither have dogs been allowed in store since then. Sadly there were too many unreported incidents of dogs messing, so the decision was made to no longer allow dogs in. Sorry for any upset this might cause but it was becoming a problem.

Most 'bug boxes' contain hollow stems in which insects such as bees, lacewings and ladybirds will be happy to hibernate. Install in a sheltered location that is exposed to the morning sun.
Birds are often a mixed blessing in the garden: they'll swipe your berries, but while they're at it they'll also strip aphids from your roses, eat small slugs and hoover up caterpillars too. On the whole, they do far more good than harm: and besides, they're lovely to watch as they flit around y…
