Supporting our
local wildlife
At Merriments, we believe a garden should hum with life. That’s why we’ve gone completely pesticide-free, letting nature find its own balance across our four acres of richly planted borders, wildflower meadows and tranquil ponds. Bees move from bloom to bloom, butterflies drift between the towering perennials, and birdsong carries across the grounds from dawn until dusk. By stepping back and trusting the ecosystem rather than chemicals, we’ve created a sanctuary where every plant, insect and creature plays its part.

"We used to go to the old Merriments cafe when it was the garden centre so we were curious. The new Caravan Tec cafe is much better than the old one. The food is yummy and the staff are very friendly."

"Wonderful gardens, a real labour of love. The planting schemes are varied, colourful and inspirational — each section flows into the next. We spent a relaxed couple of hours wandering and finished with lunch at the café. Highly recommended."
