This is the new sourcing organisation

We're the biggest garden centre retailer in the UK, with over 130 garden centres, many with in-house restaurants and coffee shops, and more than 5,000 colleagues nationwide. We’re passionate about gardens and want to spread the joy of gardening. That’s why, street by street, garden by garden, window-box by window-box, we aim to pass on ideas, inspiration and valuable tips to make garden-lovers of everyone. We sell all sorts of plants (some even have a lifetime plant guarantee) and everything else, from compost to containers to garden furniture and barbeques. Since the 1990s we've expanded rapidly, acquiring a huge range of garden centres, brands and small chains, changing our name to The Garden Centre Group in 2009 and reaching 130 centres in 2012. In 2012, we were acquired by Terra Firma Capital Partners Ltd., a private equity firm with huge confidence in our potential, offering us the support, expertise and investment to make our business healthier and more sustainable, and to progress our ambitious growth plans. In July 2014, we rebranded back to Wyevale Garden Centres, a name that has a strong heritage in the garden centre industry and is trusted by our customers. That said, we’re still very proud of the unique histories of our individual garden centres, so we've kept our well-known local names too.
