Alton: forward to the future

Here at Alton Garden Centre, we have one of the most extensive outdoor plant areas that you will see across Essex. We take enormous pride in all that we offer in this space, especially as this is where we started our own journey 52 years ago when we opened our centre. We still believe today that plants are at the beating heart of any garden.

We support many local Essex-based growers as well as growing our own plants on site, helping us to reduce our carbon footprint and further commit to our sustainability initiatives. Whether you’re looking for trees, shrubs, alpines, climbing plants, or roses, we showcase them all plus much, much more. Our bedding and seasonal plant department is fully stocked and offers a colourful range almost all year round. And if that wasn’t enough, we also stock the leading brands of outdoor containers such as Wood Lodge Apta and Cap, together with a wide range of garden ornaments.

We are extremely mindful of the endless benefits of gardening for your overall well-being ensuring a happier healthier lifestyle. When you put all of this together with our knowledgeable sales team we believe we’ve created the perfect match to allow our customers to shop with confidence.
