Other suppliers supplement our stock, and we take great pride in being one of David Austin Roses’ specially selected outlets

Derwen College students on our horticulture pathway actively participate in sowing seeds, potting-on, caring for, and selling the plants on display.

Plants and gifts arranged in the garden centre

Seasonal outdoor plants on offer include ornamental and fruit trees, soft fruit, roses, shrubs, herbaceous plants and bedding plants.

You can stroll around the Walled Garden, where you’ll find many examples of our plants, during your visit to the Garden Centre & Gift Shop.

The Garden Centre also stocks gifts and cards produced by local businesses.  Additionally, you can purchase a variety of local dairy, bakery and other grocery products.

Derwen chutneys, jams, cakes, and breads are available to purchase.  You can shop for unusual gifts, cards, tools and equipment too.

Explore our wide range of pre-loved homewares, music, and books, all generously donated to us through our charity shop, the Vintage Advantage.
