Our cafe serves hot and cold drinks, snacks, breakfasts, lunches, Sunday roasts and children's meals using fresh, seasonal produce some of which is grown at the garden centre. There is ample free parking.
We also have a meeting venue available for hire. Please contact us for further details on booking the venue.
History
Established in 1979.
Millbrook Garden Centre is an independent, family owned business, started by Dick and Sue Allen in 1979 and their daughter, Tammy Woodhouse, is now managing director
Meet the Business Owner: Tammy W.
Tammy Woodhouse, the daughter of Millbrook Garden Centre'ss owners is now managing director.
Tammy started working there as a schoolgirl assistant, never intending to make it her career. But when her father died in 1997 she returned to help her mother and decided to stay. She did a garden design course and a graduate retail training scheme with Debenhams. Now, a few years on, she is proud of Millbrook's achievements.
"We aim to do things a bit differently here, we want people to see the garden centre as a place they want to come to and feel inspired to get busy in their own garden." she said. "We always make sure the quality of our plants is second to none. The fact that we grow a lot of our own plants sets us apart and we pride ourselves on having really knowledgeable staff, offering lots of good advice and help."
