Bournville Garden Centre, named among the UK’s Top 25 by the Daily Mail
A hidden gem nestled within the historic Bournville Village Trust; Bournville Garden Centre has been recognised by the Daily Mail as one of the top 25 garden centres in the UK. The store, which belongs to the UK’s largest family-run garden centre group, British Centres impressed the national publication with its unique blend of rich history, diverse plant selection, and commitment to providing a delightful shopping experience.
Originally established by Cadbury to encourage employee vegetable gardening, Bournville Garden Centre has evolved into a thriving hub for plant enthusiasts and home gardeners in its local community. Its historic roots, coupled with its modern approach to gardening, make it a truly special place to visit and impressed journalist, Ciar Byrne on her visit.
The centre's reputation as a plant lover's paradise is well-deserved. With a wide range of plants, from classic favourites to rare and exotic species, there's something for everyone. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a novice green thumb, the knowledgeable staff is always on hand to offer expert advice and recommendations.
In addition to its impressive plant selection, Bournville Garden Centre offers a variety of other products and services. Visitors can explore the indoor plants and homeware section for stylish interior products, indulge in a snack and refreshments at the on-site Coffee Haven, or browse the wildlife and bird department for our outdoor friends.
