About us

Conkers Garden Centre in Basingstoke is a family run centre that opened its doors in 1987. Trading from a much smaller building, it has over the past 30 years grown into a large, modern business, offering excellent quality and outstanding value. You will find a wonderful range of plants and gardening essentials as well as an extensive and interesting selection of homeware and gifts!

The family who owns the centre have been involved in horticulture since the 1930's and through the generations, knowledge has been handed down and used to establish this successful business. So if you need any help creating your dream home or garden our friendly team will be more than happy to help you.

You can also visit our deliciously tempting River Bank Tea Room with our scrumptious choice of sandwiches, cakes and hot food. 

Regarding HTA gift cards & vouchers: We sell the HTA gift cards and we accept the HTA paper vouchers, e-vouchers and the plastic gift cards for purchases in the garden centre. The cards and vouchers are not accepted online or in the restaurant. (Please note that we are unable to accept the older HTA gift cards, with the magnetic strip on the back).

Regarding dogs in store: Please be aware, dogs are no longer allowed in store or in the tea room (except for assistance dogs). Sadly there were too many incidents of dogs messing or misbehaving, apologies for any inconvenience caused.
