Famed for its iconic pavilioned design, Bressingham Garden Centre was first opened in 1984, and was then part of the nursery and gardens, founded at Bressingham by the late Alan Bloom in 1946. The entrepreneurial Alan was as passionate about horticulture as he was about his beloved steam engines.

The centre has grown from a small retail nursery into a gardening mecca alongside the renowned gardens. Its reputation as a centre for herbaceous perennials continues to grow, a great many of which are raised at the Blooms family nursery nearby, and a wide selection of alpines, grasses and perennials are grown on site.

A sleek modern restaurant serves top quality home-made food and shopping includes not only everything imaginable for the garden, but also a wide array of gifts and, at Christmas, a fabulous festive display. With a team of charming and loyal staff who between them have more than 70 years' experience at the centre, a visit to Bressingham Garden Centre is a must for any keen gardener or steam enthusiast!
