Cardiff Garden Centre

Cardiff Garden Centre is a major Blue Diamond destination store at Newport Road, St Mellons, around five miles east of Cardiff city centre. Dogs are welcome throughout the garden centre on short leads, so owners and their dogs can browse plants, outdoor living, seasonal displays, homewares and gifts together.

The centre carries a broad range of plants, garden furniture, compost, wildlife food and gifts, and houses The Restaurant at Cardiff Garden Centre — Wales' first Blue Diamond restaurant — featuring a Patisserie Theatre and Eat Right Deli. Restaurant dog areas are location-specific at Blue Diamond sites, so it is worth calling ahead if you plan to eat with your dog.

Free on-site parking and a carry-to-car service make the visit practical for larger purchases. The centre is closed on 25 and 26 December, 1 January and Easter Sunday, and closes at 4pm on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
