Your Local Award Winning Garden Centre

If a person’s home is their castle, then the garden (or balcony) is their kingdom

We firmly believe in the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing a garden, patio, balcony – or any outdoor place – can provide. Our team works incredibly hard to ensure our customers receive the best service, advice and products available so they can enjoy their outdoor space to the fullest.

As it is with all forms of gardening; commitment is key

At our company’s core is our responsibility to our local community and our environment – for nearly 70 years we have been lucky enough to enjoy the support of our customers and we do our utmost to ensure a two-way relationship. 

Our Charity Committee and Sustainability Committee meet regularly to ensure Ruxley Manor is upholding our commitment to all stakeholders and meeting our ESG Policy targets.

A GROWING BUSINESS

1876

As all the best things do, Ruxley Manor began simply. Henry Evans founded H. Evans and Sons in 1876, growing plants in Sidcup then transporting them, by horse and cart, to sell at the markets in Covent Garden.

Since then, and thanks to the pioneering family after him, Ruxley Manor is now one of the UK’s best family-run Destination Garden Centres. Offering everything from excellent quality flowers, shrubs and trees to anything you could want to improve both your garden and your home – as well as a delicious bite to eat whilst you browse.

1964

Ruxley Manor Garden Centre was first started in 1964 by current Director, Richard Evans. Beginning life as a mail-order seed delivery service the operation soon developed and Ruxley Manor Farm, on the border of London and Kent, was purchased to support the growing business.

Our on-site day nurseries get their name from Grandma Grace, who could often be found chatting to friends during the first year of Ruxley Manor Garden Centre opening.

We’ve come a long way since then with 5th generation family members now running the garden centre and restaurant – but a few of us still hope the orange floral trends of the 60’s come back around soon!
