A Family-Run Business with a Passion for Gardens and Good Food
Caulders Garden Centres are a collection of nine independent, family-owned garden centres dotted across Central Scotland. Founded in 1999, we've grown from a small plant centre to a thriving hub for gardening enthusiasts and food lovers alike.
Our Story
Our journey began with Colin and Mandy Barrie, who opened their first garden centre in Mugdock Country Park with just two part-time staff. Over the years, we've expanded to nine exceptional garden centres and eight delightful restaurants, all manned by a dedicated team of over 300 passionate individuals.
