Pleasant View Garden Centre

Pleasant View Garden Centre was established in 1970 as a small shop and nursery in Chart Sutton on the outskirts of Maidstone. We are a friendly family run business who enjoy providing a warm welcome to old and new customer alike. Over the years we have expanded and we now incorporate a Garden Machinery department along side our larger Garden Centre. We have also come to understand that customers expect more from a Garden Centre today and so we have also added to our site 'the coffee shop, 'Birchalls The Riding Shop' and 'Chart Sutton Antiques Centre' giving the customer much more of a 'shopping experience'.We have gained an enviable reputation for quality, choice and service.

Ray is the owner and manager of Pleasant View Garden Centre. With over 25 years of experience he has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to gardening. Whether it's finding the right gardening product for you, discussing landscaping queries or just deciding which plants will go best in your garden, Ray is the man to ask! Dom is the youngest member of our team, what he lacks in years, he makes up for in enthusiasm and hard work. He is gaining skills and confidence as he goes and customers can always expect 'service with a smile'.

Ray became the owner and during this time Pleasant View Garden Centre has expanded and blossomed into the Garden Centre you see today. The shop was transferred to the large greenhouses formerly used for growing allowing for a more varied and extensive range of products. Their son Ray opened a metal welding service on the same site, however, having spent his early years in and out of the Garden Centre, he soon realised that his true calling was in the Garden industry. Birchalls the Riding Shop moved from it's old premises in Langley to Pleasant View Garden Centre.
