3. Springfield Nursery, Thorpe Ln, Tingley, Wakefield WF3 1SL - 4.7/5 stars
Louise Edwards wrote: "This garden centre is a real gem, lots of choice and well laid out. My dad used to come here to buy plants and he was really fussy about where he got them from, so I won't go anywhere else. Staff are friendly and very helpful, the plants always are healthy and well maintained, and their prices are much better than the chains and DIY stores. I won't go anywhere else for plants. Shop local and support independent retailers." | Google
4. Swincar Nurseries, Chevin End Rd, Guiseley, Leeds LS20 9DL - 4.7/5 stars
Jennifer Windler said: "Been buying everything you need for garden and allotment for many years. Proper nursery. Good quality plants and good price. Wonderful nursery. I buy my geraniums as plug plants from here and bring them on my self and once again now planted out in my tubes all round my bungalow, they give a wonderful display. Highly recommend this nursery. You can also get a coffee or tea here now as well." | Graham Parker
5. Woodend Nurseries, Preston Ln, Great Preston, Leeds LS26 8AP - 4.7/5 stars
Joe Burns said: "This unpretentious nursery has a really good selection of plants and they are all at very reasonable prices. The plants are clearly well-cared for. There are a few gardening accesories available for purchase and stuff like compost and bark - but none of the nonsense you get in larger garden centres. Plants that I have bought here have always thrived." | Google
6. Fields Garden Centre, Finkle Hill, Sherburn in Elmet, Leeds LS25 6EJ - 4.6/5 stars
Finn Sloan said: "The staff were incredibly friendly and willing to support me with some advice on plant care. There is an extensive range of plants, furniture, and other items. I will be coming back." | Fields Garden Centre/Google
