Based out of an old dairy farm, Milner Village Garden Centre is a locally run garden store with a vintage feel. Their aim is to help customers decorate with plants all year long. “The Girls In Pink,” as they call their employees because of the brightly coloured pink shirts the women wear as uniforms, are experts in helping customers design and create small space gardens for maximum impact.
Not only do they sell plants and decor items to help with your outdoor landscaping needs, but manager Shelley Levis originates outside-the-box classes, like “How to Create a Mini Garden in a Pumpkin” and “Build Your Own Scarecrow,” to help customers learn new skills.
