I for one will never set foot in that over priced place again. I know that it has a Warrington post code but no where in its posh new commercial does it say anything about the town that it is nearly in. Leigh. It actualy says its near Warrington. Talk about snobbery. All Leythers should boycott the place and fight for a garden centre in Leigh.

But it is in Warrington though. The clue is the signs when you cross the border

So is Golbourne, but most people relate it to Wigan. Bents is about 500 yards outside Leigh. Warrington is about 5 miles away.

Bents is in Warrington Cheshire , not Leigh Lancs .

Have u nothing better to whinge about .

Up until a couple of years ago the "Leigh" sign was just on the far side of the exit from Bents!! Did an army from Cheshire invade from Glazebury and claim the extra ground to the Greyhound??

And here was me thinking that this thread was going to be about summat going on in Atherton!!

Is B&Q not a 'garden centre' in Leigh??

Bit like the snobs who live over the by-pass and put their address as Lowton , Cheshire when they live 3 miles short of the border

Over to you Mrs Bucket ( Pronounced Bouquet )

Clare Farm was a good garden centre dont know why it shut probably not enough custom i suppose.

Never have the Optimist family been so annoyed
The Optimists are keen gardeners and swear by Bents, quality comes at a price we say, and Bents certainly provide quality. Granted we only buy the occasional packet of seeds, but let me tell you that the germination rates are prolific! Also Mrs. Optimist informs me that the Beckhams used to shop there.
In conclusion - On most of our visits to Bents we actually buy nothing, just peruse the merchandice pretending we're "10 bob snobs" where as in reality we actually get most of our gear from Wilkinsons in the town centre.
Wilkinsons........Now that is a place!

try telling the people that live there now lol

cashed in at the right time i think with all the money problems at the moment

me and the hubby went to bents last sunday for soup and a sandwich £75.50 ................. heace staying in for the next month drinking cheap netto plonk

We have got a garden centre in Leigh, the one just short of the Greyhound on the Lancs. OK its no Benst but the plants are very good quality and its dirt cheap. Me and the Mrs usually have a look round Bents then go here to buy and the prices are about 75% cheaper.
