A Garden Centre has been on this site since 1989 when John Seppings opened a farm shop to help sell apples, plums and plants that the family grew on land around the village. Within 2 years the family were granted permission for a change of use to a Garden Centre and the Twenty Pence Garden Centre was born. John's son Richard and his wife ran the garden centre until 1998 when his brother Clive and sister Pandora (the current owners) took over the running of the garden centre.
Their father, John Seppings, decided to bring things up to date and a new garden centre was built in various phases over the years and constantly increasing the size of the shop and adding extra facilities. Twenty Pence believes its employees are its greatest asset and would like you to 'Meet the Management Team'. Gavin joined us in 2001 to open our new venture Applejacks restaurant before becoming the General Manager of the Centre.
He worked closely with the family to help grow the business and to ensure their values and visions are still part of the business today which is to offer a family friendly shopping experience to all, stocking high quality, plants and always ensuring the customer leaves with all the gardening knowledge and advice needed to create their perfect garden.
