Hidden within Etherow Country Parks lies The Potting Shed, a garden centre and cafe loved by visitors
Located between Marple and Romiley in Stockport, Etherow Country Park is one of Greater Manchester's most picturesque spots.
As well as the waterfall, keg pool and woodlands, which are ready to be explored, many like to stop off at the park's café for a brew and bite to eat. But venture a little further up the path and you'll also find a hidden gem lying in plain sight. If you want something special, the garden centre also offers made-to-order hanging baskets for summer as well as a range of Christmas trees comes winter.
As well as using local and seasonal produce utilised to create a range of light meals including paninis, wraps and crepes, Tom and the team make their own ice cream, cakes and drinks. All hand-made, there's no 'funny' powders or E numbers, and, as well as traditional favourites like vanilla, they also experiment with other varieties such as hot cross bun, vanilla bean, fresh raspberry swirl and Skittle rainbow.
While it may only look like a small space when you first head through the yellow gates, head under the plant-covered archway and it opens up to encompass much more. From free cinema screenings and forest school to craft and treasure hunts, a lot of work has been done to make the garden centre a family friendly space.
