W6 Garden Centre and Café: Celebrate A Magical Green Christmas

Paul and Louise

With stylish seasonal gifts and decorations in the Winter Cabin, living and cut Christmas trees and the Green Room houseplant oasis, there’s festive fun and inspiration for the whole family at W6 Garden Centre

Spare a thought for Paul Holt, the Creative Director of W6 Garden Centre. When everyone else is packing away their Christmas decorations for another year, Paul is already in full planning mode for the next festive season, choosing items for W6’s popular pop-up shopping space, the Winter Cabin.

‘I start travelling to trade fairs in January and the buying is completed by February,’ he smiles. ‘I like to look at new trends and fashions and anticipate themes and colour palettes. Our 2022 Winter Cabin is bigger and better than ever, with ideas for all tastes and budgets.’

Paul has designed traditional and chic, modern displays in which to showcase stylish lifestyle and home décor gifts and seasonal decorations, among them elegant etched glass vases, beautiful glass baubles, cushions, magnetic paper decorations and Nutcracker-themed plates and napkins. Alongside frosted branches and red berries, black is a key colour. ‘It’s one of my favourites,’ he explains. ‘It is so opulent when combined with natural wood and bright tones.’

As usual, W6 has the best range of premium quality living and cut Christmas trees, all of which can be ordered for home delivery. ‘We have four varieties of sustainable living tree, including Fraser Firs, which are scented, non-drop and slim, so perfect for small spaces,’ says W6 Manager, Louise Alhadeff. ‘If kept correctly over Christmas, and not exposed to too much heat for too long, they can be transplanted successfully into the garden or kept in a pot outside for the following year.’

In addition, customers can choose from four varieties of cut tree, there’s a superb selection of potted arrangements and ready-made wreaths – W6 will also have an expert on site to make wreaths to order – and, if someone can’t get to the Garden Centre in person, the team will pick out a tree for them.

The trail-blazing Green Room, a floor-to-ceiling treasure trove devoted to houseplants and their accessories, also has a suitably festive feel. ‘It’s the perfect place to find exciting gifts for houseplant fans and our experts are on hand to give advice and care tips,’ says Paul.

‘We stock a wide cross-section of plants, from the well-known to the exotic, and we’ve recently received some unusual specimens, such as the latest philodendron and begonia. And one word of warning: there’s been a problem with poinsettia supplies from abroad.

We have sourced plants from excellent UK growers, but numbers are limited, so it’s first come first served!’

As in previous years, W6 has created a Winter Wonderland scene outside the Cabin with a photo-booth where children can pose for photographs on a sleigh and, of course, the award-winning Café is serving warming soups, mince pies, hot chocolate and delicious cakes.

‘It’s lovely that so many local families now make a visit to W6 a regular pre-Christmas date,’ says Louise. ‘There’s always such a friendly community atmosphere and we will make sure that everyone has the best experience.’
