The NR3 shop is bursting with all kinds of plants for every indoor gardener to grow.

With the launch of the café, comes a late-night pizza offering, including spicy meat feast and vegetarian options.

The shop is run by Kerri Notman who said: "The easiest possible plant that I would suggest is a plant called Sansevieria, more commonly known as Mother-in-law's tongue. It is not fussy about light and doesn't need much water."

4. Notcutts
