About Us


	These are some of the words that The Garden Centre Association used to describe us, winners of Best Plant Area for 2009, Best Garden Centre Staff for 2009 and 10 Awards of Merit for Garden Centre Staff, Customer Service points, Approach and Carpark, Outdoor Living, Indoor Living, Indoor Lifestyle, Garden Care, Houseplants, Telephone Survey and Website.

	The Garden Centre was started in 1990 on the site of an old swimming pool in the borough of Haringey in North London. Many changes in re-building have taken place since then, but traces of its former life can still be seen around the site. There is constant updating and modification to maximise the site to its full potential. This has been driven by the needs of the industry to provide the complete package with lifestyle and home accessories to furnish the outdoor room. As a company, we are constantly listening to the needs of our customers. There are new ideas too, that inspire them to say "Never thought of doing that - that's a brilliant idea. I could do that too."

	We are also part of the wider Community here in Haringey, supporting activities and involved with schools that try to encourage their pupils to grow plants. This is a particular challenge in an inner city district. We also give active support to a local school, William C Harvey, for children with severe disabilities.




	We look forward to continue setting new standards for the industry to follow, in concepts, substance and presentation staying true to our morals of customer care is first and foremost. It is our passion to innovate and educate, and lead by example.
