About us
Layham Garden Centre is an independent garden centre standing on a 10 acre site nestling in the heart of the Kent countryside, in the village of Staple, near Canterbury.
The garden centre is firmly rooted in the professional nursery trade, having been originally founded in 1990 by Mr Leo Wessel, an established nurseryman with over thirty years experience in the wholesale nursery sector. The idea to develop a stand alone retail element to Layham’s business was born out of a desire to create a garden centre which took pride in its ability to deliver not only top quality stock, but also to offer customers access to a valuable pool of unrivalled expert advice.
Since its inception, the business has gone from strength to strength and now enjoys a healthy reputation as a centre for excellence in terms of rose production, and is also highly regarded for its extensive selection of top quality trees, shrubs, hedging, perennials, bedding plants and garden furniture / gardening sundries.
In 1998, Mr Wessel’s daughter Ellen and her partner took over the business. The garden centre continues to specialize in rose production, taking advantage of the excellent growing conditions afforded by the brick earth soil which provides a superb growing medium for top quality roses. Today over 200 varieties are grown on site alongside a number of species of conifer. Layham Garden Centre is widely acknowledged as a natural source for professional plant advice and is renowned for its commitment to exceptional customer service. The success of the business is evidenced by the substantial number of clients who return to the garden centre on a regular basis.
