Oakington Garden Centre is independent and family run and you can feel the difference.
The owners and plant manager are horticulturists and designers, and the staff are keen gardeners, so you benefit from friendly, informed advice from enthusiasts.
We can recommend a Garden Designer and people to carry out planting and garden construction to a good standard. Oakington feels almost like a nursery with spacious, attractively laid out plant areas and a huge greenhouse with centre grown plants for pots and tubs. During the year there are seasonal specialitys such as seed potatoes sold loose, starter perennials in spring, bareroot hedging and soft fruit and turf sold by the roll spring and autumn, with Christmas trees, wreaths and decorations to complete the year. Our general stock is extensive with perennials, shrubs, trees, roses, magnolias, conifers, bamboos, ferns, alpines, herbs and climbing plants. We are also happy to try to obtain individual plants for customers.
The shop holds gardening supplies such as tools, seeds, chemicals, greenhouse and pond equipment and bird food. The nearby canopy area is the site for an array of pots and compost with displays of houseplants, garden furniture, trellis, stoneware, waterbuts and composters. Plants are sourced where possible from local nurseries but we also buy from national and international specialists, always searching for good quality and price.
There is ample parking and free delivery service in the
locality and a welcome for all gardeners from beginner to plantsman or professional.
