Aylings Garden Centre

Aylings is a large independent garden centre on the A272 at Trotton, near Petersfield, where dogs are welcome inside the shop and plant area. You'll find a broad retail mix, from bedding plants and shrubs to garden furniture, bird food and equestrian lines and your dog can join you while you browse.

The tearoom serves indoor seating only and is dog-free, so plan to leave your dog with someone outside or save your visit for after a walk. The covered shop area gives plenty of weather protection when you're picking up supplies on a wet-paw day.

Aylings sits on the South Downs edge, roughly 23 miles from Winchester town centre and pulls in garden-project visitors from across Hampshire and West Sussex. It's a solid stop for dog owners who want to tackle the spring planting or restock the bird feeders without leaving their dog in the car.
