A TikTok user, @PetiteElliee, shared her trip to The Garden Society in Eastleigh, which she couldn't get enough of.

She added: "The inspiration I take away from The Garden Society is like nothing else. They always have so many gorgeous displays [and] cute little corners."
The Garden Society lauded as Hampshire's best garden centre
Located on Allington Lane, not too far away from Eastleigh and Southampton, The Garden Society has a lot to offer.
As mentioned previously, it has a large home décor section with crockery, vases, baskets, lamps, and so much more.
That's without the huge variety of plants, garden furniture, pots, and water features guests can trawl through.
Visitors can also grab a bite to eat at the Orangery Tearoom, whether you want a hot lunch, cake, a cup of tea or something else.
It also has a private event space, called 'The Secret Garden', for birthdays, baby showers and other occasions.
Discussing the ethos of the centre, Samuel Baker, director of The Garden Society, said: "The Garden Society is a unique destination focusing on home, garden and living.

"Whether you're searching for a specimen plant, home decor with a story or just to enjoy a delicious treat in our restaurant, The Garden Society is a place for everyone to discover.
"Nestled in rural Hampshire with easy connections to major routes, we welcome visitors seven days a week."
