Paul and Louise
With stylish seasonal gifts, premium quality trees, handmade wreaths and a Winter Wonderland, there’s festive fun and inspiration for the whole family at W6 Garden Centre
For many families, a pre-Christmas visit to W6 Garden Centre has become a firm date in the diary. ‘There’s alway a friendly community atmosphere here,’ says Manager Louise Alhadeff. ‘Whether you are buying a tree or shopping for gifts, bringing the children to our Winter Wonderland or meeting friends for hot chocolate and mince pies, we make sure that everyone has the best experience.’
W6 is renowned for the high quality of its Christmas trees. Louise has been sourcing the majority of specimens from the same family-run sustainable grower in Surrey for almost a decade. ‘That’s for a good reason,’ she smiles. ‘Firstly, they are exceptional and secondly, and it’s not always the case with other suppliers, they are delivered to us fresh. Our trees will have been cut a few days before arriving and that’s so important if they are to stay in good shape through the festive season.
‘This year we have an excellent selection of non-shedding cut trees (all come with a guarantee), including Nordmann Firs, slimline Fraser Firs and Noble Firs with striking blue foliage. In particular, the Fraser, which is perfect for small urban spaces, seems to be an increasingly popular choice.
‘Customers can also choose a living tree with a root system, potted arrangements and hand-decorated wreaths. We offer local tree deliveries for £5 and our drivers are always happy to carry in the trees and help set them up in a stand.’
Last year, W6 introduced a seasonal pop-up venture called The Christmas Cabin. Curated by Creative Director Paul Holt, it showcased a stylish collection of lifestyle and home furnishing accessories and exquisite seasonal decorations to suit all tastes.
‘It was a huge success, so we’re doing it again,’ confirms Louise. ‘Paul has travelled to Europe to source exciting new ranges for our 2021 Xmas collection. The products will feature a variety of colours, including tones of copper, Dutch blue and white, traditional red and green and, the on-trend, lilac and purple.
‘Our popular Green Room also has a festive feel. We have a wide cross-section of houseplants, from the well-known to the exotic – our resident experts are always on hand to give advice and top care tips – as well as a fantastic array of gifts and gardening paraphernalia to suit gardens of all sizes.’
If customers would like to take a break over a coffee and cake, the inside seating in W6’s lovely Café has now been re-opened and there is still space outside next to large heaters. And no Christmas visit would be complete without stopping at the Winter Wonderland for a photo opportunity with the giant sleigh! (Please check the website for details and dates of all the festive fun).
‘We’re passionate about what we do,’ says Louise. ‘Our aim is to lift the spirits and deliver outstanding service and, at this time of year, there’s more reason than ever to come and see us. We look forward to welcoming you to W6 Garden Centre.’
