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.
Founded in 1855 by William Thompson in Ipswich, Thompson & Morgan has evolved from a modest seed catalogue into one of the UK’s leading horticultural brands, with a strong presence in both consumer and trade markets. With over 150 years of expertise, we are proud to supply high-quality seeds, plants, bulbs, fruit, and gardening solutions to amateur gardeners and professional growers alike.
Driving innovation and introducing new varieties that meet the demands of modern horticulture. We maintain rigorous quality standards and a customer-first approach, ensuring reliability and excellence across every order.
In addition to our thriving direct to customer business, Thompson & Morgan is a trusted partner in the trade, supplying garden centres, nurseries, landscapers, and commercial growers across the UK and internationally.
