Summerhill 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, Summerhill was a run-down garden market selling fruit, vegetables and cut flowers.
It occupied approx. 8 acres and employed the family, as well as 1 part-time and 2 full-time staff members.
Since that time, we have expanded to 20 acres and employ seasonally 80 staff. Several franchises have been introduced on-site during this time
to offer a more diverse shopping experience – you’ll truly find anything and everything here at Summerhill!
Of course our stock variety has expanded with us over the years, so whether you’re looking for indoor plants, outdoor plants, garden furniture,
BBQ’s, pots & planters, water features, homeware, animal care, we’ve got it all.
Providing an outstanding service is a core value for our team, and we know that it begins with understanding our customer’s needs. With over 40 years of experience we are confident in our ability to deliver a pleasant shopping experience from start to finish.
“Friendly, helpful, & knowledgeable”
These three words are the most frequent comments we receive from our customers. We always appreciate any feedback you can give us!
First, and foremost, we love plants! Anyone that visits the garden centre can see that we have an abundance of varieties. Our dedication lies in nurturing and giving expert advice on our plant range – count on us to guide you in the right direction!
The quality of our stock is extremely important to us, and is a key reason as to why we see many returning customers. This principal applies to everything in our garden centre from our large garden furniture suites to even the smallest of plants.
Often known for our Christmas displays, we like to keep the creativity going and provide inspiration for your homes year-round. Our beautiful displays are always changing throughout the year, so there’s always
something to see!
Our staff are often complimented by our customers on their helpful and friendly manner.
We pride ourselves on being able to offer the best assistance within
