Gotherington Nurseries

Gotherington Nurseries is an independent garden centre in Gotherington, just north of Cheltenham and around 17 miles from Cirencester, where dogs are welcome inside. It's a working retail nursery with a strong plant-stock focus, making it a useful stop if you're heading out that way and need bedding, perennials or a proper browse without leaving your dog at home.

The nursery offers the kind of planted-stock range you'd expect from an independent specialist and the indoor welcome means you can keep your dog with you while you shop. There's no explicit lead policy mentioned, but leads are always sensible among trolleys and terra cotta.

It's a straightforward garden-centre visit rather than a destination day out, but if you're in the outer Cheltenham area and need plants without the car-park wait, it's a practical option. The nursery trades with regular public opening hours, so it's worth checking their website before you set off.
