About Hilltop Garden Centre
Welcome to hilltop garden centre, the family business with a personal touch. The family business has been passed down in generation, to 2 Brothers who pride themselves on excellent customer service, top quality plants and shrubs and a wide range of individually chosen products for both indoors and outdoors.
The brothers Kevin and Grant are both very hands on people and it has taken many years of hard work to establish such a successful and individual garden centre.
About our garden centre
We stock hundreds of shrub varieties and bedding plants. We have a wide range of garden furniture and garden accessories from trowels to bird baths, pet care to compost, a great selection of giftware and so much more.
We have a cafeteria serving a great range of salads and hot cooked meals to an extensive range of cakes for those who fancy a spot of afternoon tea. We have our very own castle themed play ground to keep the kids entertained.
Where did it all start?
Many years ago the garden centre at the top of the hill was more of a small greenhouse which simply grew a small selection of tomato plant. In 1982 A Mr John Ashby brought this small nursery, and he worked many years, with long hours alongside his wife Pat. Together they grew the business and put hilltop garden centre on the map. At the age of 16 Kevin and Grant, Johns 2 sons joined the business. Back then the garden centre was a team of about 8 people. When John finally retired at the age of 55 the brothers took over the business only to continue expanding and improving the business to move with the times.
Where we are now
We are now a team of 30 people. All our staff members are friendly, polite and happy to help. We pride ourselves on customer service and satisfaction.
With being a family run business we have more control and individuality than the more commercial garden centres which in turn helps us to be more unique with a personal touch.
