Louise and the W6 team
Spring bulbs, herbaceous perennials, seasonal trees and shrubs, houseplants… and much more besides for the urban gardener
Since opening under the arches next to Ravenscourt Park in 2011, W6 Garden Centre and Café has become firmly established at the heart of the community. ‘Whether a customer comes to buy high quality plants, choose gardening and homeware gifts or catch up with friends at the Café, our friendly team will ensure that they are welcomed and looked after,’ says Louise Alhadeff, W6’s Manager.
Last year was a momentous one for the Garden Centre. Fulfilling a long-held ambition of its founder, Beryl Henderson, W6 was invited to create a stand for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Conceived by Creative Director Paul Holt, it won a coveted Gold Medal and was judged the Overall Winner in the Houseplant category.
That award was particularly apt as one of the Garden Centre’s most popular attractions is an indoor plant oasis. Christened the W6 Green Room, it is home to a glorious variety ofbhouseplants and stylish pots and accessories, and W6’s experts are on hand to give care tips.
Equally integral to W6’s operation are the Urban Gardens teams. Working with clients in their own gardens and using the same outstanding stock as the Garden Centre, they have the horticultural expertise to revamp any space – from devising a planting plan and breathing life into borders to laying turf and cutting hedges – and they also provide ongoing maintenance.
For many locals, W6’s Café is a favourite place to enjoy a break over delicious cakes and coffee: the indoor area is open Wednesday to Sunday and there’s plenty of outdoor seating on the sunny terrace. ‘If you need practical advice about which plants are best suited to your space, our knowledgeable staff are always delighted to help,’ says Louise. ‘We want everyone to have the best experience here.’
