We’re a down-to-earth business, and how we work is special. That’s down to our unique culture. We believe in doing what’s right – winning for our customers, our communities, our planet and our people. We take pride in being an open, welcoming place where everyone feels at home. Where you can be yourself, do your best work and make a positive difference every day.
We pride ourselves on our passion for home improvement projects and we provide an outstanding experience for every customer who visits our stores or website, no matter what size of project they're undertaking.
Founded by James Dobbie, we’ve been helping Britain grow since 1865.
We share our passion for gardens and plants through own brand and branded products, concession partners and services. Fifty-two of 53 stores feature a restaurant or coffee shop, where customers can enjoy refreshments or meals in a relaxed and welcoming environment
We champion garden living all-year-round and offer a calendar of events and experiences that bring people and communities together
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.
