Following the success of the York Garden Centre, Ken and Margaret Dean purchased a second site in February 1986 on Seamer Road, Scarborough. The site, formerly Quartons Nursery, only had permission to retail from a very small area, so planning permission was sought immediately to expand and was officially opened on 11th April 1987.

After 56 years of successful trading at both York and Scarborough, Richard, Helen and Sarah made the difficult decision to sell their much-loved family business to enjoy a well-earned retirement. The business is now part of the Yorkshire Garden Centre family of centres, with sites at Tong, Tingley, Otley & Bingley.

As we enhance our facilities to better serve you, rest assured that the charm and character of the garden centre you love will remain at the core of everything we do. Our commitment to providing a delightful experience for all our valued customers continues to be our top priority.
