Shop Early to beat the rush

We have a great range within our store but this is only while stocks last. If you want to make sure you have the best decorations this year it’s best to shop early and beat the rush.

Local Delivery Service

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.

Dogs are welcome

At Summerhill, we love our four-legged friends just as much as you do! We welcome well-behaved dogs to join you during your visit to our garden centre. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, please see our Dog-Friendly Policy

Customer Comments

We love hearing from our customers. We pride ourselves on our outstanding service and it’s wonderful to hear of the experiences our customers have had whilst shopping in the garden centre.

Great garden centre with huge selection of products. Unusual gift ideas and fantastic aquatic section that puts most pet shops to shame. Kids would love just seeing the huge collection they have and keeps them occupied and interested. Well worth a visit and spend time browsing for ideas.

Brilliant, lots of amazing things for the garden...not just plants and trees... Could spend hours there...

Excellent service wanted advice on specific plants, the man really knew his stuff and helped me choose exactly what I wanted. Whole new range of impressive stock. Highly recommend.

I have to say nothing was too much for the staff at this shop, not only did they take down displays and box them for me they also took them to the till waiting until id walked around the shop as they were extremely heavy, they were helpful polite and adhered to safety of every customer, it was a pure delight even for a casual walk around inside and outside areas, with added sunshine and a few bargains to boot.. take a trip if you’re looking for new ideas or an hour to kill ...

A truly lovely garden centre.. very clean, tidy and have a very healthy selection of plants, trees, and shrubs. Staff are polite and knowledgeable.

OMG what an amazing two visits over the weekend. Beautiful healthy massive variety of plants, flowers, garden and barbecue accessories to choose from. Silk fake plants look amazingly real. Although a little on the expensive side everything is worth it. No quibble about returning items either. Excellent well-mannered and very helpful staff on hand to help with questions and lifting of heavy items. Definitely recommend and no doubt at all that I will be going back this weekend.
