About Woodthorpe Garden Centre
Woodthorpe Garden Centre is where it all started, it is the home of British Garden Centres. The centre first opened in 1987 across from Woodthorpe Leisure Park. Before Woodthorpe Garden Centre was set up Charles and Robert Stubbs, the founders, sold leylandii on the roadside It was these early days of selling plants and shrubs that sparked their interest in the garden centre industry.Â
The centre has an incredible variety of plants and has everything you will need for your garden, whether you’re a keen gardener or just starting out. Our expert team are always available and happy to share their knowledge whilst you’re shopping with us. Alongside our plant department, we have a fantastic range of gifts, homeware, and furniture. The centre is also the home of Woodthorpe Nursery, where British Garden Centres are growing their own products. Â
It’s an ideal place to visit as part of your day out or to pop in and pick up your gardening essentials. You can even extend the trip and stay at Woodthorpe Leisure Park, which is also operated by The Stubbs family and has an incredible variety of holiday homes, restaurant and an 18-hole golf course.  Â
Our centre is wheelchair friendly, we welcome coach trips, we are dog friendly, and offer home delivery on larger items. We look forward to welcoming you. Â
