Those miserable autumn days when it’s cold, wet and windy can be difficult to navigate.
They’re too horrible to spend time outside, but you also don’t want to vegetate indoors, either.
If you’re not sure what to do on a dank autumn day, spending a few hours in one of Nottinghamshire’s amazing garden centres is a great way to soak up seasonal vibes while staying warm and dry.
At this time of year, many local garden centres have dedicated autumn sections, where customers can buy everything from Halloween decorations to seasonal wreaths.
The majority of garden centres have an on-site café, where visitors can relax with a drink or a hot meal after shopping.
Regardless of where you live in Nottinghamshire, you’re never too far away from a garden centre with a cosy café.
