Conveniently located on the A47 in Thurnby, Leicester, Coles Plant Centre stocks a wide range of plants, pots, tools, ornaments, planting equipment and more.
Being the retail, garden centre branch of Coles Nurseries, the UK’s largest grower of trees and shrubs, Coles Plant Centre has access to the entire nursery stock, meaning a selection of over two million shrubs and one million trees are available at short notice.
Expert staff are always on hand to offer advice on plant selection, planting and aftercare, and would be more than happy to spend a bit of time showing you around the garden centre discussing your requirements. A delivery service is operated within a forty mile radius of the garden centre in Leicester.
The company was created in 1913 when James Coles first purchased an eight acre plot of land in Evington, Leicester. Coles Plant Centre was first opened as a retail shop on London Road, Leicester, in 1933. It later moved first to Oadby and next to its current site in Thurnby, where it has remained since 1982.
Coles Plant Centre is the retail branch of James Coles and Sons (Nurseries) Ltd, the UK’s largest grower of trees and shrubs for amenity and landscape planting. Coles Nurseries grow a range of over two million shrubs and one million trees in over six thousand different varieties, across production sites throughout Leicestershire and Lincolnshire.
