About GARDENA Based in Ulm, Germany, GARDENA is the preferred brand for millions of home and garden owners worldwide when it comes to garden care. That is because GARDENA offers a complete range of all that is required – watering systems, pumps, lawn care, robotics, smart system, tree and shrub care, garden tools, soil cultivation or city gardening. Today GARDENA is the leading brand for high-quality garden tools in Europe and represented in more than 80 countries all over the world. It takes an emotional approach to address those who regard their own garden as a "living space close to nature" and a place of well-being, recreation and fun. Systematic success Since its foundation in 1961, GARDENA has developed from a small trading company for garden tools into a worldwide recognized manufacturer of intelligent products and systems for garden care within a few decades. The final breakthrough was made when introducing the Original GARDENA System in 1968. The idea of providing system solutions was continued in the following decades with the GARDENA combisystem (1977), GARDENA accu-system V12, GARDENA Sprinklersystem and GARDENA Micro-Drip-System (all 1990).

Member of the Husqvarna Group Since 2007 GARDENA is a member of Husqvarna Group. As a separate division, GARDENA enjoys sufficient independence to focus on the needs of passionate gardeners and the strengths of the brand. In the context of the entire company GARDENA can benefit from the size and strength of the Group, use their resources efficiently and purposefully build on the shared knowledge.

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.
