Welcome

Located just north of Newcastle city centre, Gosforth Garden Centre lies on the edge of Gosforth Park next to Newcastle racecourse. Easily accessible from the A1 and A19, it started life as a nursery, was bought by Peter and Angela Barratt and officially opened by David Bellamy as a garden centre in 1982. Mains electricity only arrived in 1985 and less than 2 years later the centre won the prestigious Horticulture Week’s ‘National Garden Centre of the Year’.

Impeccable horticultural standards and highly knowledgeable staff passionate about gardening have created a reputation for the centre that reaches far and wide. Customers are warmly welcomed, the vast range of growing stock is of the highest quality and ‘every gardening accessory imaginable’ (according to one customer) is available in beautifully laid out and clearly labelled displays.

Whilst the core business remains related to gardening and gardening products, these are complemented by an excellent range of giftware and cards, an extensive aquatics department and a fabulous restaurant serving anything from a cup of tea to a delicious 3 course feast. Come wintertime, the Christmas displays here are nothing short of inspirational and, justifiably famous, draw admirers from many miles away!
