Our garden centre is a friendly and welcoming retail destination for the whole family. We’re dog friendly too!
Purchased by the Humphreys family in 1981, it was a run-down market garden selling fruit, vegetables and cut flowers. It occupied approx. 8 acres and employed the family, plus 2 full-time and 1 part-time staff members.
Since that time, we have expanded to 20 acres and employ seasonally 80 staff.
From small acorns, great oak trees can flourish.
Providing a great service starts with understanding our customer’s needs. With over 40 years experience, we feel we are ahead of the pack and put all of that knowledge into offering an outstanding shopping experience.
“Friendly, helpful & knowledgeable”, these three words are the most frequent comments we receive. Providing excellent customer service is important to the whole team.
First, and foremost, we love plants! Anyone that visits the garden centre will be able to see that we are dedicated to providing plants that have been cared for.
Quality is important and a key reason why our customers keep coming back us. If it is important to you, it is important to us and we like to go the extra mile to get it right.
We pride ourselves on our creative displays all around the store, offering inspiration for our customers to try out at home. There is always something to see on each visit!
At Summerhill our staff are often complimented by our customers on how helpful, knowledgeable and passionate they are.
Found something you love, but can’t fit it in to your car? Don’t worry, help is at hand.
Our driver Colin and his team will be happy to deliver for you. We only use our own vans, not outside couriers, so the service is only available locally.
You can find out more by talking with one of our helpful team members when next in store.
We are proud to partner with a number of local small businesses to ensure top quality service and product, only at Summerhill Garden Centre.
