Absolutely amazing Dara, thank you so much for sharing! While Bents might be huge we think you can find higher quality products at the Burford Garden Centre when it comes to accessories and garden decor. You are so incredibly kind to mention our channel - thanks so much!

Garden centres at Christmas are amazing!!!

Two delightful American ladies, most welcome here in England 🇬🇧 anytime. 😊

A piano in the loos, so you can have a little tinkle 😂

I love our British garden centres 💚 We are a nation of gardeners. Garden centres have really re-invented themselves over the years. They are the perfect place for a spot of lunch. The one in Burford was no exception - yum! The food areas had such attractive displays with some unique foods on offer. Seeing the cactus (or cacti!) reminded me of Arizona 🌵🌵Oh wow, the vintage football table was interesting! Beautiful roses - with lovely names 🌹Thank you, Dara & Tracy for the fun tour! ❤

I take my dad (91) to a local garden centre every week or so just for a coffee …….well that’s that’s what I try to believe normally have a shopping trolley full , that coffee costs me a fortune 🤣 , have a great weekend x

British Garden centres are an experience. It's serious. Play centres, petting zoos, cafes. Anyone that says British food is bad, I challenge them to locally made produce made with pure passion. Yeah its expensive, but it's the best.

13 acres, that's nothing. Bridgemere garden centre in Nantwich, Cheshire, covers 50 acres and they have dinosaurs. :-)

A beautiful video, the roses were stunning, but i can not believe there is no aquatics section. Aquariums are the jewel in the crown of garden centres !

Well I certainly hope that helped dispel the myth that British food is dull, boring and unappealing.

Garden centres have been a tradition in Britain for many years...and very pleasant places to visit on a Sunday afternoon in late spring..early summer....you can get all you need for your plots ..and in many cases they will deliver items you cannot take yourself for a small charge..in addition most have catering facilities as good as anything on the High Street

That's certainly one up market garden centre.

The UK has many large garden centres and its hard to say if it is bigger, but the biggest I have ever visited, is called Bents near Warrington. Its independent and has a similar vibe. I am sure you would enjoy if ever in the North West

Tracy or Tracey welcome to the UK. get a bit of sleep and then enjoy our green and pleasant land. Always enjoy your videos and love that you present the UK so positively.

Why ever return to Dallas ? The Cotswolds is one of the most amazing places in England. Bourton, Bibury, Broadway, and many more picturesque villages in that area. Tracy will remember it forever.

Well Dara, this place was indeed amazing -- and as Tracy said, I too have never, ever seen anything quite like it. Wow. I'm so glad you were very thorough with your video, because there were so many interesting things to see. I hope Tracy finally caught up on her sleep; I admire her energy level to endure that jet lag!! 🥱😴✈👍

I am so pleased that the pianist was playing classical music!, I could never have decided which pair of gardening gloves to choose without it 😲❤

Well done for selling more of the UK to your American frends, Dara. Hope Tracy is able to see what you and Ian see about England and the Cotswolds.

Wow Dara! You've done a brilliant promo for Burford Garden Centre! It certainly beats ordering garden plants online 😁

Many a Burford fan has been made this day.

There are quite a lot of big comprehensive garden centres around the UK... but even the smaller ones are fun to visit and almost all put on amazing displays and goods in the months before Christmas

The only garden centers we know of in the US are at Home Depot and Walmart, so yes, this is way better lol. Desserts look amazing

I used to go there regularly to have lunch with my niece but it’s grown beyond recognition. I find it a bit overwhelming now but everything is very high quality and beautiful.

Loos with a piano! Ideal for a tinkle. [Nice touch, btw, Dara, taking your gardening fan friend to a garden centre on her first UK visiting experience]

Aww, Burford one of my all time favourite places to visit in the Cotswolds (and Daylesford of course), brings back happy memories. Great job Dara as always, and your friend seems lovely too! Your weekly vlogs are gorgeous. Cheers

I can remember when it was a small nursery. Brings back memories of going there with my Mum.

I always love a visit to a garden centre, and this one gets a Gold Star! A lovely day out for the family.

Go shopping with the wife at the garden centre and come back with a new living room decor? Lovely video. Cheers.x

Loved the garden shop 👍🏾🥰, keep bringing us more of the Cotswolds

What a gorgeous place. Thanks for sharing x

Burford is definitely the King of Garden centres! As a Brit, none of the things on offer there surprised me- but it had ALL OF THEM!!! I love a day out at a good garden centre! Mind you, how to say you've reached middle age without saying you've reached middle age! 😂

A true 'shopperholic' experience Dara. I thought our Garden Centres were large and they are huge - this surely beats them all hands down. This is a One stop Shop. I loved shopping here and having lunch. I never spent a cent or gained a pound or two 🤣! Love you discovered more Magenta items. 🩷 What a lovely way to spend a wet Saturday morning Dara. Yes, once again a wet Saturday. Loved the green leaf dishes. Awesome is a word that comes to mind. Thanks Dara for the insights into this Garden Centre. 👌🇳🇱🙋‍♀🥝

We do enjoy our garden centres over here 😊

Sorry Bents is amazing to the extent your head is on a swivel theres so much to see and at Christmas just WOW

I used to spend many a wonderful day there with my grandparents. I haven’t been there since, as it is very expensive, but I might have to revisit, to revive some wonderful memories.

OMG - going around a large garden centre after an overnight flight + jetlag. Credit to Tracy hanging in there, as graden centres are waring at the best of times.....Hope you're all fully rested and having a great time back in Cheltenham.

Two lovely American rose's.🌹

Darla, There are some benefits of the rain in England !

That's cool! I love the garden centres there. The good ones we have in the Bay Area are Summer Winds or Yamagami (expensive, like $16 for a quart plant). The biggest one I've been to in the UK was Dobbies in Swindon. That was very big compared to what we have here in the Bay Area. BTW it's been in the high 90's to 100s here. God help those in Texas! Looking forward to the cool-ish weather in St. Ives....although I'm hoping for the sunny weather at the beach there.

A shop that happens to sell plants - like many UK garden centres

Wow! What an amazing place, I love it

We have garden centres all over the UK. Many of them are massive. I live near one with several places to eat, animals for children to see, a maze and ornamental gardens, gift shops as well as plants for sale. There is a plastic skating rink at Christmas and a Santa's grotto. People will tell you their garden centre is the best but I don't know who judges them or what yardsticks are used to compare them!

We Brits love our garden centres! Most have a cafe and people meet there for a drink and lunch! The Burford one you visited looks like a real (can I say it?) middle class garden centre - some expensive items there I would say. Smaller, cheaper centres are a bit more ordinary and affordable for most of us. I have never been to the Burford one but if I'm in the area I'll certainly make it a tea stop!!

If this video were anymore sweet, it would actually be fluffy. Like a little kitten Curled up, in a sunbeam Tickling the wisteria with teasing tail From atop the white, painted, sill.

Love Burford Garden Co - I’m biased as I live just a few minutes from it. Glad you enjoyed it

There's something about flying west to east where you really get the whole jet lag experience. Fly the other way and there's no issue.

A beautiful place in stunning countryside.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Lovely people I really hope you enjoy your visit holiday God bless

Ah, this was wonderful! I loved visiting this incredible place.💐🌸🩷

This is a 5-star account of beautiful Burford and its magnificent garden center, Dara and Tracy. Thank you for videotaping all of the beautiful flowers and giving us a truly intimate experience of this part of the Cotswolds. You've inspired me greatly to visit this wonderful place. Btw, I could literally smell the fragrance of all of the roses way up here in Minnesota. Cheerio!

What a beautiful garden centre! Nice to see one of the best garden centres and great to see Burford! wow. Japanese maples are so gorgeous, love the vibrancy of the leaves. I'm quite a flower nerd if i'm honest, there's something about a garden centre visit that makes a wonderful day out! So I really enjoyed this. The food selection was so yummy. The terrine and the prawn brioche rolls, wow! I think Tracy has the right idea, all the desserts hehe. Amazing placement of those hydrangeas in the bath tub! What a gorgeous centre outside, so many beautiful shrubs and plants. Think i'll need to visit here, thank you for taking us around. Beautiful!

UK food is top notch. So much variety

If you're ever in the great county of Rutland there's a gigantic garden centre just outside Oakham called Gates, at the moment it has a Circus in the car park.

Went to a garden centre, and took till 12:22 to see some plants - more intrested in looking at the food and tat inside - well they are Americans!

Usually if you are in somewhere like a garden centre and wanting a pastry warming they will do it for you if you ask

I have been to a few down south....my favorite is Paradise Park in Sussex with life size dinosaurs which the children , and me. love. But none of them can beat Burford Garden Centre.....it is amazing!

Oh I love a good garden centre, hello BBF Tracey, sorry Dara dragged you to England. My favourite statistic about Americans? They don’t have passports. I wouldn’t either! Bold claim re Burford. I no longer have gardens but I am a regular frequenter of garden centres, might have to challenge you on this one. A piano in the garden centre? Ok ive not seen that before! Food looks very well presented. Ah you have me beat, this place looks incredible. Is this a trip to the best Deli in the UK? I think I’m watching the wrong titled video. Wow, farm shops and delis, we love them, this is the best I’ve seen in the UK. Grab me a fig sausage roll Dara I’m good for it.. even pets are well catered for, what a lovely place. Art gallery? Whatever next!? Great roses. That was a GREAT garden centre. ❤

I love garden centres full of things I didn't know I needed!

I loved this garden centre trip. I think that I would have gone a teeny bit bonkers in there, and then gone bonkers with the plants too. I'm a new subscriber working through the older videos and finding them very interesting and informative. I don't know if you've ever done a video on this topic but I'd love to see what gifts or requests for family and friends that you take back to the USA and the other way around, what American things come over here as gifts or requests?

If you collected me from an airport and took me to a garden centre you'd get a slap!!! 🤣. To be fair it's a lovely one and the food looks amazing. I didn't realise that gardens centres in the USA are just plant shops. We have some great garden centres near us, our favourite is one where you can go strawberry picking. Fair play for your friend staying awake! Hope she's having a fun visit. Cheers 🍻

As someone who considers gardening out door housework that is a garden centre l would be more than ok to visit! My mother’s favourite tree was the Japanese maple, the maple because she was born in Canada, and the Japanese… well, l just think she thought it was elegant. The lunch looked very good.

Ah! This Garden Centre has a twin! Now owned by the same company and also in Burford - but another Burford, this time in Shropshire, but literally just a short hop over the river from Worcestershire (it is near Tenbury Wells) It has a great free garden to explore there and excellent tea room toom. There is another massive Garden Centre by Webbs (the seed people) at Wychbold (near the big transmitter) near Droitwich Spa - quite a specatacle there at Christmastime - just a short drive up the M5 (jct 5) from Cheltenham Spa. They can be good places to browse in. Great video Dara! Hope you are both well - take carem Paul

Awww it was so fun to watch this. You saw even more of the store than we did, and I was there with you! I had already forgotten about those delicious desserts that we ate, so I'm glad you had this visit documented through video. What a fun first day we had arriving in England. If only we could grow English roses here in Texas!

Yay! I used to work in The Mermaid and loved going to the garden centre. Maybe next time you're there you could have an orange juice with lemonade in The Mermaid for me.✌😊

Congratulations Tracey! Getting anything to grow in the heat of a Texan summer must be really difficult.I We take our gardens seriously....and, contrary to the opinion of American relatives who have never actually visited us, food too!

Brit here, Oh to be in England in the summer time.👍Glad you enjoying our homeland.

Tracy walked up a big hill and she feels invigorated? 😁😁Me? I'm ready for my nap! After lunch of course in this lovely cafe. An amazing and huge garden center. Somewhat like the Buc-ee's of horticulture! A little more classy though. The smells of roses rather than BBQ. 🤣🤣Beautiful location for an outro. Unless of course, Tracy falls asleep. We enjoyed the tour, Dara, Tracy and Ian.

Ottery St Mary Garden Centre, in Devon is a total destination, especially for Christmas time.

If you ever get to Norfolk visit the Bressingham Garden centre and the next door steam museum. Great to take kids to too

I was taken there by a friend too…the most expensive garden centre I have ever seen! Definitely catering for the luxury Cotswold market…

Love the garden centres around the UK. The smaller indi ones are really important too but don’t have enough room for the generic lifestyle stuff that you get in the bigger ones.

it looks amazing

Well I’ve never been here and I spotted a garden globe there I might have to pop there this weekend😁. Great video as ALWAYS ❤

Hi Dara, loving the Burford Garden Centre and of course your professional guided tour. As you know I'm a massive gardener and when you eventually arrive in Cheshire you have to check out Bents in Glazebrook that's an amazing shopping experience as well and the restaurant is fabulous especially the cakes. Hope you dont wear your yankee friends out too soon. ❤x

Aww, I know Burford well having grown up in a nearby town. The garden centre there is fabulous….expensive but fabulous! 😂🇬🇧💚🧡

You just can’t beat an English country garden. 🥰

Oh, and I did notice the thumbnail. 😁😁

We have Bents Garden Centre in the North West of England. They have coach trips visiting them and their Christmas display is amazing. If you want something on display you can buy it. Family run too.

If you're looking for something to do (that'll also a great video), you're near many canals which you can hire boats on for a long weekend or longer. Highly recommended

Great video. Thanks. Also quite like Blooms garden centre down by Gloucester. Not as good as burford though. Btw, you should review the Gloucester services on the M5. I’m sure other Americans would be quite surprised at how we can do rest areas when we try.

you can spend your entire budget on just delightful knickknacks !

Looks lovely, another great garden centre is bents, Leigh near Manchester, you could spend a day there.

Well you certainly have the weather for it. Love roses too. Unfortunately I have an old garden that has had roses in it. Roses don't take kindly to being put in ground, previously occupied by roses. So potted ones for me. Miniture ones.

👍 good video

I've been to a few garden centres. Never one that big! I could spend days in that place. Hello Tracy. Did you know that Tracy Island was the most sought after toy over here in 1992 (I think the date was). On a par with the Cabbage Patch Kids. Don't have any tips for my palm houseplant do you? It's on the last of its last legs. We would call them nest or nesting boxes Dara, never bird houses. That first 'truck' looked like Morris Minor shooting brake to me. A piano in the loo for when you need a tinkle. 🤣😂 No. I don't want to build a terrarium. I remember a Twilight Zone that had something nasty in one. I'm not going to say what it was but --------> 👩 Did you know that the Italians have professional table football leagues, or they did back in the 70s?

Go to Bents near Warrington, it is one of if not the best in the country. The biggest and best garden centre is Bridgemere in Cheshire.

Burford - yes. My Aunt and Uncle used to live in Burford when I was very young, but I remember going down to stay with them for a holiday (vacation) on numeroUs occasions.

Great place to visit at Christmas. I hope you went into the village, some great pubs.

Bicester Garden Centre is very good

Try Polhill Garden Centre in Kent, not only does it have its own Bus stop, Bakery, a Butchers, a fishmonger's, an Ice Cream Parlour, Grocery Store, Shoe Shop, Clothing department, Resturant, Aquarium, plus all the usual stuff you'd find in a Garden Centre, it sells American produce too!

I think your friend correctly described a nursery as somewhere to buy plants. You’re showing her a Garden Centre and that includes more departments.

For your guests from Texas you couldn’t have picked a nicer place than Burford very pretty town West Oxfordshire. Your friends might also like to know that town is over 900 hundred years old. I often drove that way when coming from London to Ledbury in Herefordshire.

I always visit Burford too. I was just there end of June. One of my favorite spots is a hidden path beyond the church cemetery. I have been visiting Burford since 2017! And if you ever need a great taxi service in the Area-Simply visit Burford's Post Office-They are super helpful. My all time favorite place in the Cotswolds and probably in England is Shipton Under Wychwood. It is just perfect. I saw Jeremy Clarkson just bought a pub in Burford.

I love, love, love garden centres, but this one is a stonker! The food looked amazing and loved the roses. Wish we had smellovision.

Lovely video

Where I live there is a very long road with garden centres all the way down on both sides of the road. Gardeners heaven.

Hiya Dara, I had a look at your channel last night, and there's some vlogs I've never seen, so this morning I watched you de clutter your belongings that you've been hoarding, about 3 months ago my friend Phil (aged 81) and Christine (aged 71) said "Choppy can you declutter our attic" I said "Of Course I will", I thought I would of been there about 20 minutes, its took 1 hour 40 mins to get to clear the attic, what I brought down was a back seat from an MG Midget that they didn't know they had, I also brought down 40 pint glasses and The Queens Hotel in St Bees gladly took them, the things I've kept are 4 Newcastle United hoodies, 3 I bought at St James's Park and 1 Zest Whitehaven, gave me when I left, I've also kept A Newcastle United Shirt also from Zest Whitehaven, when I left and a Football (aka soccer) ,shirt for the Great Britain, 2012 London Olympics, all still have the tags in and prices on the tags, Americanisms that brits hate, is up to 7 thousand 8 hundred viewings (WAY TO GO),this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

With the weather lately, I don't imagine they sell much from their watering department 🤣 There is nothing like an English garden...or garden centre.

There is a fantastic motorway service station on the M4 at Tebay just before Penrith in Cumbria and a partner one on the M5 near Gloucester run by family and stocked with great local produce. The one at Tbay has been going for years and provides a wide range of fantastic food and foodstuffs along with clothes etc. there was a tv series about them a couple of years ago. Made me homesick for the lakes.
