Welcome to Fonthill & Lakeside Garden Centres
We are family owned and family managed since 1967, with two garden centres Fonthill at Bitton, between Bath and Bristol and Lakeside at Crockerton, near Warminster in Wiltshire.
Plants are what we are really about with a terrific range of stock suitable for our area as well as exotics for special places. We grow as many of our plants as we can, in our own nurseries near Chard in the heart of Somerset.
Our Commitment to You:

- Carefully selected quality products for your garden and outdoor living especially garden furniture, bbq’s and garden lighting.
- Inspirational giftware, cards and books, Wild bird care and garden clothing,
Backed up with professional advice, knowledge and expertise. We care for our customers and always have their interests at heart, whether it’s finding the right plant, advising on plant feeds and care products for pest and disease control or simply loading heavy items such as composts into your car.
Our garden centres are designed to be accessible to all with free parking. We are dog friendly and welcome groups of visitors.
In addition to providing a wide selection of plants, fertilisers, composts, tools and garden accessories, our garden centres are home to delightful coffee shops with a welcoming atmosphere where you can relax, enjoy a great cup of coffee an indulge in delicious homemade cakes and pastries. And we serve breakfast, brunch and lunch every day.
We change with the seasons
Our plant selections always match the seasons as do our outdoor living range with furniture, bbq’s and garden lighting to provide the best choice.
Late summer at Fonthill Garden Centre is marked with our Annual Flower & Produce Show open to all amateur gardeners.
Christmas is very special at both Fonthill and Lakeside with quality Christmas trees, and great Christmas decoration displays and gifts.
