About bents.co.uk

Bents is a family-run garden centre in the UK that sells plants, garden furniture, outdoor living products, home and gift items, and Christmas decorations. The on-site nursery grows over 60% of the plants it sells. The centre also runs The Fresh Approach Restaurant and seasonal attractions, including a bookable Christmas light walk in its Hidden Garden.

Its customers are UK consumers who shop in store and online. The online shop offers free mainland UK delivery on orders over £50, click and collect, and pay-in-three or four interest-free payment options. Revenue comes from retail sales, food service and ticketed seasonal events.

The business was started in 1937 by Alfred and Margaret Bent, who grew and sold roses at their home in Glazebury. A shop opened on the current centre site around 1980. The third generation of the Bent family has run the business since 2001. Bents has been recognised as a Great Place to Work for a second consecutive year and lists its current job roles on its careers page.

Product: Garden centre retail of plants, garden furniture, home and gift products and Christmas decorations, plus a restaurant and seasonal events.
