Your Trusted Garden Centre in Ely Since 1982
Established in 1982, Twenty Pence Garden Centre has grown from a small farm shop into a beloved local destination for gardening enthusiasts. Our journey began when John Seppings opened a farm shop to sell homegrown produce, evolving into a full-fledged garden centre by 1989. Under the leadership of Clive and Pandora Seppings, we expanded our offerings and facilities, ensuring our commitment to quality and customer service remained paramount. Our team of dedicated professionals, including Director Gavin and Plant Manager Paul, brings decades of horticultural expertise to every interaction.We pride ourselves on offering a family-friendly environment where customers receive expert advice alongside a curated selection of plants and gardening supplies. From landscaping solutions to unique garden ornaments, our focus remains on empowering customers to create their perfect outdoor spaces. Our restaurants and event spaces further enhance the experience, making us a community hub for both gardening and leisure. With over four decades of service, we continue to innovate while staying true to our roots, ensuring every visitor feels welcomed and valued.
