Welcome to Arboretum Home and Garden Heaven. On a ten-acre site, this family-run business is a complete shopping experience. In addition to the five-star garden centre, visitors will find beautiful interior furnishings, quirky gift ideas, Weber barbecues and accessories, ladies’ fashion, kitchen wear, homewares and a new health and wellness department, not forgetting the award-winning Rachel’s Garden Café. Edinburgh Woollen Mills complements the offering.
It’s possible to devote an entire day to visiting Arboretum because in addition to the retail area and the café, there are the Inspirational Gardens to be explored, an excellent children’s playground and a maze adjacent to the restaurant’s outdoor seating area. In Rachel’s Garden Café, take time out to relax and plan the next stage of your trip over some delicious food. Everything is made with the very best ingredients, local where possible.
The desserts are all made on the premises and special dietary needs are catered for with gluten-, sugar- or dairy-free options. There is a full children’s menu to keep the little ones happy. Arboretum reflects the changing seasons of the gardener’s world. At Christmas, Arboretum becomes a wonderland with the illuminated gardens and a multitude of decorations and gift ideas while in spring and summer, brilliant colours burst from every area of the store. A commitment to excellent customer service, quality products, unbeatable choice and value for money has earned Arboretum the coveted title of Retail Excellence Garden Centre of the Year 2017 and 2019. www.arboretum.ie
