Garden Centres in Markfield, Leicestershire

Around 1985/6 David Cartwright purchased what can only be described as a derelict site, with only 2 greenhouses, one for growing and one used as a retail shop. Since then Bretby has seen major changes and developments, including a large retail area, a much improved and extended plant area and the introduction of the popular restaurant. In November 2005, I purchased Bretby. I already owned Planters of Tamworth and wanted to turn Bretby into a thriving business too and I could see Bretby as a real jewel in the crown. The Bretby philosophy to provide top quality plants is something we will maintain as we develop other aspects of the business and of course we will continue to offer our loyal Bretby customers a personal, friendly and knowledgeable service. Bretby is in safe hands now and despite the current economic uncertainties, the future looks good. By the way, if you want to start growing your own tomatoes, we have everything you'll need to get you on your way... who knows where it may lead!
