The Alnwick Garden Plant Centre is a great place to come for a souvenir for your garden. Here you can literally take a part of The Garden away with you in the form of a plant! You'll find the Plant Centre just next to the Garden Shop, currently open 10am-4pm.

The Plant Centre has a wide selection of roses, herbaceous perennials, shrubs, climbers and alpines for you to take away. Many plants have been propagated from plants within the garden. A perfect way to remember the garden is to grow a part of The Alnwick Garden in your own garden at home. Of course you can hunt out ideas from the main garden and then receive helpful advice from one our friendly gardeners.

We work closely with award-winning nurseries from specialist nurseries within the region to ensure a variety of high quality plants many of which are rare and unique. At the moment we have a selection of reduced plants and some autumn flowering favourites - Sedums, Asters, Nerines and more. All are looking fantastic in the garden and are prime for planting!

David Austin Roses

We have a close relationship with David Austin Roses. They, of course, designed and supplied the plants for our famous Rose Garden. We now sell a selection of popular varieties from this garden including Gertrude Jekyll, Just Joey and of course our own unique Alnwick Rose.

Accessibility

There is no Garden ticket necessary to visit the Plant Centre, so you can pop in whenever you like for inspiration and advice. We have bee-friendly plants and a plant of the week and are expanding our selection of favourites from The Garden all the time. We have recently expanded our plant centre making it wheelchair friendly, bigger and better. This means we have more varieties of the best of what The Garden has to offer. It’s well worth a visit!
