The Mill At Millbrook

Millbrook Gravesend is a great garden centre just off the A2. It's easy to get to and has a good amount of parking available. For me, it's all about the plants, and they have a great collection of both indoor and outdoor plants. I have found that the indoor plants are reasonably priced and healthy looking, accompanied by a good selection of pots and all the bits and bobs you need. There is also a butchers on site where you can buy packs of meat, sausages, and all manner of tasty things and a frozen foods section. So far, my food purchases have been of good quality and very tasty. So on to the outdoors and the plants. There is a good-sized outdoor space filled with plants, shrubs, and trees. The selection is good, and the quality is high and in some parts guaranteed. I can spare quite a while wandering and looking at everything outside, so my routine now is to grab a coffee in a takeaway cup from the restaurant and take my time as I mooch about. I haven't eaten in the restaurant, but it appears to offer a good spread of hot and cold options, cakes, and drinks. It's always busy, and there are tantalising smells from the hot food counter . Millbrook has tried to provide a bit of everything without losing its focus on horticulture and being a garden centre at heart. Staff are helpful, and if they don't know, usually know someone who does. Pricewise, I think the plants are pretty good value and the housewares etc they also sell are not cheap, but are not cheap quality, so this is reflected.

Really nice garden centre, a lovely restaurant, and quality plants. It has a fishmonger van outside as well as a pet shop alongside the garden centre. You can get lots of gifts and tools, etc They have put some of their Christmas stuff up which looked really pretty and I like how they put displays up, like an autumnal display for around your front door etc. There is also a butchers and a little food part. There is ample parking too.

Good family run garde centre. Great restaurant, shed area and good selection of internal and external plants. They have the outdoor plants by colour which is not as always helpful.

great place, well laid out and so much choice. Just a bit miffed that when ordering breakfast was told they had stopped serving as there was nothing cooked even though it was 11.25am so only 4 stars

Definitely on my happy place list. Amazing selection of indoor plants which is my thing. Staff are friendly and happy to answer questions. Will go back when I'm in the area
