Family-Run Garden Centre in Cambridgeshire
Parkhall Garden Centre is an independent, family-run business established nearly 30 years ago by the Rigby family. Located in rural Cambridgeshire, we specialise in providing high-quality plants, trees, and gardening solutions tailored to both novice and experienced gardeners. Our expertise lies in cultivating rare and unusual plants, mature specimen shrubs, and offering expert horticultural advice year-round. We prioritise customer satisfaction through our knowledgeable staff, free delivery service for local areas, and commitment to growing 99% of our bedding plants on-site. Our dedication to quality, value, and variety ensures customers receive healthy, well-priced plants suited to their specific garden needs. As a family business, we maintain a relaxed, open atmosphere where customers receive personalised service rather than generic recommendations.

Our facilities include a renovated giftware shop, Hollies Tea Room, and a comprehensive delivery service for large items. We actively support customers in realising their dream gardens through landscaping projects, plant selection guidance, and aftercare advice. Our on-site production of over 50,000 bedding plants annually demonstrates our commitment to maintaining high standards while keeping prices competitive. With one of Cambridgeshire's largest tree selections and a focus on sustainable growing practices, we serve as a trusted resource for both local and regional gardening needs.
