Benefits of having a garden centre near me

At Bents we're proud to be the local garden centre for residents across the north-west, from Warrington to Wigan and from Leigh to Manchester.

But you might be wondering why it's good to have a garden centre near me? If so, we would encourage you to take a day and head down to Bents to get the full experience first-hand.

We welcome all visitors, and you don't even need to have a garden to find things you'll love at your local garden centre on Warrington Road.

Our premises are open seven days a week, so whenever you next have a day to yourself, why not come along and see the full range of what Bents has to offer?

Inside out

Our huge Open Skies Glass House means even on wet and wild days, you don't have to brave the elements to browse a large selection of different plants, flowers and gardening supplies.

We have everything from beautiful home grown plants, shrubs and trees, to pots and planters for your outside space, garden ornaments and decorations, outdoor LED lighting and much more.

As your local garden centre this is what many people are looking for when they come to Bents, but there's plenty more besides, with the Bents Food Hall and several retail partners on-site including Jacuzzi, C-Crafts and Trespass|Nevisport.

So whatever you need to stock up on, Bents is the place to be - but shopping for all kinds of household goods and garden furniture is not the only benefit when you have a garden centre near you.

Family fun

We care about catering for all local residents, regardless of age, or even of species!

Younger visitors will enjoy our outdoor play area and find all kinds of fresh food and drink suitable for children in our Food Hall.

Our snacks are suitable for a range of different dietary requirements, but if you need something specific to suit your little one (or yourself) please contact us beforehand to see what we can serve up for you.

While we are unable to allow dogs (other than guide dogs) in the wider centre The Pet Place and Pet Café are the perfect places to enjoy spending time together with a coffee for you and pupaccino for your furry friend.

Easily accessible

Bents is easily reached from the surrounding towns and villages, but we're also keen to ensure we provide good accessibility on-site too.

The entire garden centre is on one level, and we always make sure to leave plenty of room in the aisles for wheelchair users to pass by without having to squeeze through any narrow gaps.

We can provide wheelchairs by advance booking to help make your visit easier, and there's disabled access close to the main entrance.

If you plan to buy anything bulky, we also offer home delivery service on many items, which is great news not only for customers with mobility problems but for anyone who would prefer not to transport garden furniture and other large goods home in the car.
