New Year, New Hobby?

As we step into a brand-new year, it’s the perfect time to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

At Otter Garden Centres, we believe that trying out new hobbies is a fantastic way to enrich your life and make the most of the opportunities that the year has to offer.

Join us in exploring a range of exciting options that cater to various interests and skill levels.

Grow Your Own:

There’s nothing quite like the taste of your own home grown fruit and vegetables and this could be the year to start to grow your own.

Start the year by cultivating a green thumb with our extensive selection of seeds, gardening tools, and expert advice.

Growing your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs not only provides you with fresh and organic produce but also connects you with the therapeutic joys of gardening.

Whether you have a spacious backyard or a cozy balcony, our garden centres have everything you need to kickstart your gardening journey.

Get Crafty:

Unleash your creativity with our diverse range of crafting supplies, now including the captivating Robotime craft miniature puzzles and DIY miniature house kits.

Whether you’re into knitting, crocheting, papercraft, or painting, we have an array of materials to fuel your artistic endeavors.

Engaging in craft activities not only allows you to express yourself but also provides a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Explore new techniques and create something truly unique with our craft supplies.

Bake Your Heart Out:

If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at baking, our cookshop is the place to be.

Equip yourself with high-quality bakeware, kitchen gadgets, and specialty ingredients to whip up delicious treats in the comfort of your own kitchen.

Baking is not just a culinary skill; it’s a delightful experience that brings joy to both the baker and those lucky enough to enjoy the scrumptious results.

Bird Watching Bliss:

If you’re looking for a hobby that will stimulate the brain and get you out in the fresh air, this is a great one.

You can start close to home in your garden or local park. Get yourself a bird identification book and a notepad to jot down what you see.

Connect with the wildlife around you and contribute to the conservation effort by participating in the annual RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch from 26th – 28th January. It’s a wonderful opportunity to slow down, appreciate the natural world, and make a positive impact.
