Par Garden Centre

Par Garden Centre is a large destination garden centre near Falmouth where dogs are welcome inside, which cuts out the usual who-waits-outside logistics before browsing plants, pots and garden essentials.

It is a useful daytime stop for dog owners touring the area and particularly handy when the weather turns wet and nobody wants to leave the dog tied up while the humans potter around the indoor displays. The garden centre sits within easy range of the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and Caerhays Estate, so it works well as a practical pitstop on a day built around Cornish gardens and outdoor exploring with a dog in tow.

The indoor dog welcome means everyone can browse together without one person standing around in the car park with a hopeful nose and tangled lead and it is particularly appreciated when rain arrives halfway through a plant-shopping mission and the whole group can head inside rather than splitting up.
