Opposite an industrial estate in Maghull, there’s a “hidden gem” which provides a little bit of tranquillity.
Sefton Meadows Garden Centre is not a place you're likely to stumble upon unless you're in the know but that hasn’t stopped it from becoming a much loved part of the community that people will travel across Merseyside for. The business dates back to the 1980s and has been family run from the beginning.
Despite being offering a huge plant collection and garden products for four decades, it has had a revamp in recent years and now the cafe is also a big customer draw. Managing director Tim Withers said his family took over it from the Cassidy family in 2006.
