Arboretum Garden Centre - 3 times winner of the Bord Glas Garden Centre of the Year 2002 - 2003, 2003 - 2004 & 2004 - 2005

Commitment to excellent customer service, quality products, unbeatable choice and value for money has earned Arboretum Lifestyle & Garden Centre the coveted title of Bord Glas Garden Centre of the Year for an unprecedented third year.

Arboretum Lifestyle & Garden Centre is far more than a place for the gardening enthusiast. It's an entire shopping experience: a place to savour the myriad of interesting items dotted throughout the store. Spacious and well laid out, the centre guides visitors through elegant displays of garden furnishings, pot plants, outdoor plants, an extensive gifts section, hand crafted furniture and lots more. An entire day can be devoted to the visit, wandering through the fantastic range of items available, seeking expert advice from friendly staff or enjoying a delicious meal or cup of coffee in the tranquil setting of the Mulberry Restaurant. Year round the centre is a delight to visit reflecting the changing seasons of the gardeners' world. In winter, the Arboretum becomes a Christmas wonderland with a multitude of decorations and gift ideas while in spring and summer brilliant colours burst from every area of the store.

On site the Arboretum Retail Park features individual complimentary units - Elite Saddlery, the Natural Stone Centre & Pat Coughlan Garden Equipment while a Pets & Aquatics Shop covering over 330 sq. metres offers a variety of tropical fish, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles and snakes.

Their comprehensive website www.arboretum.ie features a whole range of gardening tips from Rachel Doyle, proprietor and Sunday Independent gardening columnist.

"A delightful place to visit, it excels in terms of its strong customer focus, professional staff, top quality plants and excellent merchandising" - judging panel from An Bord Glas on winning the Garden Centre of the Year Award.
