The Wensleydale Garden Centre is the pride and joy (and daily challenge) of married couple Trevor and Ruth

Hawkes. Looking for a lifestyle change in our beloved Yorkshire Dales, we took over the business in August 2015. 

 

We quickly made significant changes, completely redesigning the outside area to enable us to prioritise plant

quality and care.  We also gave the interior a make-over, introducing flexible display areas to showcase seasonal

product ranges. The Garden Centre has gone from strength to strength, steadily gaining a loyal and appreciative

customer base and we have been thrilled with the extremely positive feedback.

​

The outside area is crammed with seasonal bedding plants, alpines, perennials, shrubs, trees, herbs, fruit and

vegetables and there are always some tempting 'multibuy' deals on offer. We source our plants locally wherever

possible, to give them the best chance of success in the North of England climate. You will also find garden

furniture and ornaments, a comprehensive range of tools, chemicals and accessories and a fabulous selection of

pots and planters.

​

Ours is a proper ‘Garden’ Centre – a refreshingly traditional alternative to the huge department-store-style retail

destinations which the larger Garden Centres have become. We aim to offer a friendly personalised service to

locals and visitors alike.

​

Wensleydale Garden Centre occupies a fabulous quirky building, formerly goods shed, adjacent to the historic

Railway Station and benefits from on-the-spot parking. We are conveniently located a short walk from the centre

of the beautiful market town of Leyburn, gateway to gorgeous Wensleydale. 

 

You are sure to enjoy your visit, to appreciate the warm welcome and, of course, to find something to enhance

your outside space!
