Where nature meets passion, and passion meets service
Welcome to Heaton Park Garden Centre, a traditional and old-fashioned garden centre nestled within the historic grounds of the world-famous Heaton Park. Our garden centre is dedicated to selling home-grown plants from our own nurseries, providing our customers with a unique and personal shopping experience.
Our Story
Established within the 18th-century walled garden that once supplied fruit and vegetables for the whole estate, our Horticultural Centre is proud to continue the tradition of cultivating high-quality plants. The brick walls of our walled garden create a microclimate for the cultivation of crops and were used for supporting fruit and climbing plants. Over the years, we have gained the knowledge to grow more lasting plants with better health, and because we grow our own plants, we can pass the savings directly to our customers.
