Mr Middleton Garden Shop

Oh, I wish I had a proper garden! Because if I did, I’d be stopping by this place a lot more.
It’s such a cute shop, its renovated green façade and the plethora of plants displayed outside definitely catch your eye and draw you inside. There you’ll find even more plants — trays of flowers ready to pot, aromatics and vegetables, interior plants, saplings — but also seeds, compost, and gardening material. The variety of plants is really good, but I wish they had more cacti and other succulents.
They also sell some vases, though it’s not a huge assortment — from ceramic pots, hanging containers, to plastic trays. I’d say if you’re looking for the more decorative ones there would probably be better places to shop for those.
It’s lovely to browse the products inside, actually a lot of older ladies seem to take their time in there, so you don’t exactly feel rushed. The staff is brilliant and very friendly, and they’ll help you with whatever you need, they seem to be very knowledgeable about their business.

They even have pots of all size now along with gardening accessories! I ordered a few strawberry plants and tomato cage from their website and was able to pick up from the store the next day.
I highly recommend this place!

What a place! I was just here this morning to get some stuff to beef up my compost pile, buy a few pots and start a few seeds for my meager back garden. I was blown away by the stuff crammed in this little garden shop. Seeds, soil, compost, starter kits, gloves, tools, fertiliser, friendly and helpful staff, and beer (just kidding). But seriously, thanks to Unilocal,I’ve found a great garden centre to get my green thumb on. And to think that all this can be found in the city centre!

I do love the rarity of some of Mr. Midleton’s seedly offerings. This out of the way garden shop waaaay at the top of Mary Street is a haven of hard to find seeds, plantings and tools. I was delighted by the relatively large selection of bird and squirrel feed available, only to be depressed at the knowledge that the cramped balcony of my city centre digs are no place to tempt fluffy, feathery creatures.
There’s plenty of scope for learning to plant, as the staff here are mostly gardeners themselves and happy to share ideas. I’m thinking if I clear out the balcony and lay down a few sod rolls, I could have a decent veggie patch by mid-​summer…

My wild Irish rose,
the sweetest flower that grows,
You may search everywhere,
but none can compare with my wild Irish rose …
ok that might be a song that a middle aged Donegalman sings in a jumper made by his mammy, but I believe Mr Middleton’s shop provides the gardener with ample opportunity to find what they believe to be the sweetest flower that grows. It’s full of all kinds of bulbs and seeds and other gardening essentials. They sell lots of products that can’t be found anywhere else in Ireland, and if you can’t make it into the shop they’ve set up an online ordering system to ensure that all of Ireland has access to a world of flowers.
