Visitor Information

We hope that you visit Podington Garden Centre soon - we are sure that you will not be disappointed.  Our award winning friendly, experienced team are here to provide a friendly welcome and first class advice. Established in 1976 you can find out more in About Us.

Situated in delightful North Bedfordshire countryside, once you enter our small high street entrance, you will find car parking for 200 cars and a plant person's paradise. Described by many visitors as an 'Aladdins Cave', every inch is utilised to present a garden centre for your garden.

We all look forward to seeing you here soon.

Facilities:

• Car parking for 200 cars (with spaces for disabled and parent & child parking).
• Disabled Access - We have no steps around our site only ramps where necessary. We have four wheelchairs available for our customers to use on a first-come-first served basis. Our toilets have disabled facilities too.

• Gift Wrapping - For a small additional charge we can gift wrap your purchase for you. Especially useful for your plant purchase making a beautiful gift.

Whilst we continue to offer carrier bags to our customers, we do reuse all our packaging wherever possible. Boxes and plastic plant trays are offered to our customers as an alternative to our carrier bag. This has been very successful in reducing our bag usage and helping to resuse packaging.
