Where gardening dreams come true.
Our Story: A Family Legacy
The Langlands story began in the charming market town of Bingley, West Yorkshire. Founded by Walter Ducker, a passionate horticulturist, the business blossomed from a small nursery into a renowned chain of garden centres. Driven by Walter's unwavering enthusiasm, Langlands quickly gained a reputation for quality plants and exceptional customer service.
Generations of Expertise
Walter's sons, Robert and John, inherited their father's love for horticulture and followed in his footsteps. Guided by their diligent work and unwavering vision, the brothers expanded the business, establishing Langlands in strategic locations across Yorkshire. Today, their son, James, continues to uphold the family tradition, adding his own innovative spirit to the company.
