Wyevale Garden Centres (formerly The Garden Centre Group) was a British chain of garden centres.
It was the largest garden centre operator in the United Kingdom, with 154 locations following its acquisition of the Blooms of Bressingham chain in February 2007.[1] It had acquired many smaller garden centre locations prior to this, which also helped to allow it to reach its peak.
Following Wyevale’s financial difficulties, Dobbies Garden Centres acquired the vast majority of Wyevale locations in 2018. Any remaining locations were sold to Blue Diamond Garden Centres, independent owners and smaller chains, with the final outlets sold and converted to British Garden Centres in 2019.[2]
In September 2023, the final holding company of Wyevale was dissolved, with no entity acquiring the Wyevale brand or intellectual property.[3]
