Business Details
Your Trusted Garden Centre in Brighouse Since 1864
Established in 1864, Kershaw Garden Centre has served Yorkshire's gardening community for over 150 years. Originally founded as Slead Syke Nurseries by the Kershaw family, we transitioned under Yates family ownership in 1929, building a reputation as expert rose growers and nurserymen. Our evolution from traditional seedsmen to modern garden centre reflects our commitment to quality plants and customer service. We offer a comprehensive range of British-grown plants, garden buildings, home and gift products, alongside specialist advice from our experienced team. As a family-run business now in its third generation under Manager Mark Yates, we maintain our heritage while embracing contemporary gardening needs.Our facilities include free car parking, assistance carrying items to vehicles, and home delivery for larger purchases. Located on Halifax Road in Brighouse, we combine historical expertise with modern convenience to serve both casual gardeners and horticultural enthusiasts. Our Enchanted Wood Caf provides refreshments during shopping visits, complementing our extensive product offerings. Through generations, we've maintained core values of plant quality, customer care, and community service. Today, we continue innovating while preserving the traditional nursery values that have sustained us since Victorian times.
