Stunning specimen plants and infrequently seen large, unusual shrubs that make a statement in any garden, stand alongside an expansive range of hardy perennials, colourful bedding plants, flowering herbaceous perennials and shrubs for both sunny and shady spaces. And, make sure you do not miss the beautiful houseplants with both the different, and old favourites, to brighten any indoor space too. There really is something to suit every taste and style.

For those who are looking to create their own outdoor oasis and enjoy the summer alfresco, Alexandra Palace Garden Centre and Café stocks a broad range of garden furniture. Including casual dining and corner sets from Kettler, Webber and Kettler barbeques, pots, containers and outdoor accessories there is something to suit every garden and style.

And, the wonderful Glasshouse Café really lives up to its name. Huge light-spilling windows warmly invite you to relax and refuel with freshly brewed tea or coffee, and indulge in a slice of cake, light bite or perhaps a cheeky ice-cream for both you and your dog! Friendly and recently redecorated, the Café offers an array of indoor and outdoor seating options including an outdoor patio area with fish pond, and on sunny days, a spacious roof terrace with views over the plant area.
