West London houseplant offering opens to critical acclaim

The West London garden centre operating from a railway arch has opened its new indoor plant centre, The Green Room to acclaim from the experts.

 

At the W6 Garden Centre (on the corner of Ravenscourt Park between Hammersmith and Chiswick), an empty unloved railway arch has been transformed into a lush green environment filled from floor to ceiling with a huge collection of indoor houseplants.

 

“Our aim is to green-up homes all over London and The Green Room will have you spoilt for choice with the biggest selection of popular and unique varieties of indoor plants,” says the centre’s publicity. “The Green Room is a plant-enthusiast’s dream come true. In store there is also a hand-selected range of plant accessories and care items; that will ensure the continued health and growth of your indoor plants.”

 

Botanist, science writer and BBC Radio 4 Gardeners’ Question Time panellist James Wong commented: “Looks bloody brilliant!”

 

Jane Perrone, indoor gardening journalist, presenter and producer of ‘On the Ledge’ podcast, said: “Paul Holt [the creative director] has done a wonderful job turning this railway arch into houseplant heaven. Sets the standard for the UK houseplant selling scene…”

.

Opened in March 2011,W6 has established itself as a leading London garden centre and its coffee shop was named Best Garden Cafe 2019 in the LUX Life magazine’s awards.
