    My favourite garden centre in London! The atmosphere is wonderful, there are often four legged friends around, the staff have almost always been warm and welcoming and the amount they have is great! Prices are fair and in my experience the same as far larger stores so it’s great to support this place. I’m not super local but always happy to go out of my way to come here when in need, even just to have a little wonder around to find inspiration. Unfortunately the pond in the back has gone and I wonder what happened to the fish. Otherwise great!

    Apparently, there's always one shop that a person has no will power in and will always come out with at least othree purchases ... Boma is that place for me. Given the fact I'm on a scooter, this often poses issues trying to get home (see pictures below), I did once manage to carry home a medium sized bay tree, and though I couldn't see very well through the foliage, we both made it back in one piece. The staff are wonderful here, always friendly helpful knowledgeable. The plants are healthy and the range is spectacular for what seems like a small place! Highly recommend this centre.

    What a peaceful place. So many indoor and outdoor plants to choose from, with helpful staff who are happy to guide with plant care and conditions. Went four times in a single week when I moved into my house and found it an excellent place to get my plants, in how lovely the plants are, how helpful the staff are, and how relaxing it was to just walk around.

    Excellent service and communication with this garden centre, the app and website are very user friendly and easy to use and navigate and payment was easy, the orchid itself is amazing and in excellent condition, the postage by using DHL was very fast and the orchid was very well packaged and protected, I will definitely be buying more plants from you soon. Many thanks, Ryan.

    Great little garden centre, they usually have a good range of plants and the staff members polite and knowledgeable. The prices are over the medium line, but many plants are in bigger containers, from 5 L up. Also they have nice glazed ceramic pots for outdoor £15 - 90 and the compost bags, 50L size, are around £9.

    This is plant heaven! A huge selection of indoor and outdoor plants, for every budget. Lots of gardening accessories and products like pots, soil, sand and grit. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The only struggle was choosing what NOT to buy because I truly wanted everything! Looking forward to my next visit.

    Nice garden centre with lots of options. Ranging from sale plants to bigger more expensive plants. The staff were incredibly helpful and gave tips and recommendations. We mainly focused on indoor plants but there were lots of outdoor plants also. Also was a very cute cat sleeping.

    Simply the best staff and selection. I could quite happily move in because it is almost impossible to choose from their brilliant selection of plants. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful, relaxed and clearly love their jobs. The ceramics are also of a high quality and just as good a selection as the plants which I guess means I'll be back many times in the future. It is also convenient to park up or equally not far from Kentish Town so it is easy to get your selection home safely. Thank you !

    This place is just lovely. I’ve should have come here so much earlier and haven’t been able to stop going. I know this is going to be an expensive hobby, but my home is now beginning to become a small jungle. Staff are knowledgeable and patient with newbies like me who have brown fingers and many questions, but going on 3 weeks and all my plants are thriving.. what do you know, don’t water them too much (I did start with hard-to-kill plants though: started with ZZs, some succulents and Pathos. Upgraded to Kentia, Peace Lily and Prayer Plants and seeing how it goes (with lots of YouTube tutorials!!) I just love how my home feels much more alive and how pleasing it is that I can keep these plants alive. Parking is just across from the entrance, which is very handy. I am so glad this is the first garden centre I went to as my experience has been wonderful.

    Amazing garden shop with endless selection of beautiful plants for both out and indoor gardens.

  • 3/5 Eden R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of indoor plants and pots, as expected prices hiked. But staff are just so rude. Was one lovely guy who smiled and said good morning but the younger women working there make you feel its a priviledge for you to be there. Very odd, literally blocking you in the aisles taking pictures of the displays and giving you a tut when you ask to pass (it was either circle back or shove through so.) Won't be shopping there again.

    Really Great, should have come here sooner. Got some great plants on sale!!

    Boma is a great local garden centre. A great selection of plants - although the checkout staff can be a little grumpy. But glamorous nevertheless. (see photo)

    Beautiful planters, speedy delivery. Extremely helpful & friendly team. Unfortunately, one of the pots were damaged. Customer service responded immediately and offered a refund. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is not being offered a replacement planter but I would still recommend using them for great products & fab staff.

  • 5/5 Helena D. 1 year ago on Google
    My plant was very good value, was delivered quickly and in excellent packaging, all recyclable cardboard except the inner plastic bag, which was necessary to prevent the box becoming soggy! It has very lush foliage and has started growing in just the few days since I planted it. This company is new to me, but I highly recommend them on the basis of this first experience. I don't know if I'll need any further plants online this year, but will certainly look here first if I do.

    Wonderful atmospheric plant nursery! Friendly and helpful staff members who expertly informed me on the diff types of plant variations on cherry blossom trees; they also very kindly helped with tying up the the tree so that I could manage with using public transport. Vide variety of plants from small propagations to trees. They also sell many different types of pots to keep your plants. (Bonus is a cute cat I found :D)

    Great plants and staff. Was a bit late with starting my seedlings so went there for my veggies to plant.

    I was so delighted with our BOMA Christmas tree which we took delivery of today (free of charge) thanks to their excellent special offer. Our exquisite 6' tree was worth every penny and was actually very good value for such exceptional quality. Thank you BOMA.

    Excellent service and excellent product Human beings at the end of the phone! Peter was extremely helpful and responsive from start to finish. The hedging arrived on time as promised and looks of great quality so far - it's beech so we won't see its true glory for a few months yet - but the plants look sturdy and healthy. Peter also sent detailed planting instructions. What a breath of fresh air to experience such great customer service.
