Notcutts opens 19th garden centre

Notcutts have completed the acquisition of Frosts Brampton garden centre near Huntingdon. Brampton becomes the latest garden centre to join the family-owned garden centre group. Notcutts now has 19 UK garden centres together with a flourishing e-commerce operation.

First established in 1897, Notcutts has developed to become a leading name in horticulture and home gardening. While plant expertise and garden inspiration remain at its core, Notcutts now offers a wide leisure and shopping experience for customers including handpicked homeware and gift ranges, furniture and garden accessories. High-quality restaurants are also central to the Notcutts customer experience. Significant investment has been made across the company in recent years to create modern, upgraded restaurants which are proving so popular with customers. 

CEO Nick Burrows comments: “Frosts shares a similar set of values to ourselves in the way it operates its garden centres and this has always been cause for our admiration of its organisation. So, when Brampton became available for sale we saw it as a garden centre that would fit well as part of Notcutts. Its fabulous gardening offer, great gift and furniture ranges together with a fantastic restaurant all meant that it was of great appeal to us.”
