Coolings The Gardener’s Garden Centre

Coolings was started in 1913 in Chislehurst and steadily grew over time! By 1990 the time had come to relocate, so we moved the 14-acre site at Knockholt in 1990, which became The Gardener’s Garden Centre. The site now has its own production nursery, shop, restaurant, education centre, reservoir and more.

The seasonal plant displays at The Gardener’s Garden Centre are curated by our team of trained horticulturists who are on site to answer questions and advise on plant selection.

Closed from 5pm on Tuesday 5th January 2021. Reopen on Monday 1st February 2021.
Opening Times: 9am – 5pm Monday to Saturday and 9am-4.30pm on Sunday

At Coolings we specialise in plants. Our production nursery covers 4.5 acres and there are 6 full-time horticulturalists who have a wealth of experience. We grow over 65% of our plants here and we have over 3 acres of display area, which is full of the widest selection of plants available. In particular, we offer varied collections of Herbaceous Perennials, Shrubs, Bedding, Trees and Fruit Trees, Climbing Plants, Heathers, Roses, Acers, Alpines and more!

Our shop has a large range of gardening tools, lawncare, seeds, bird care and garden accessories. We also stock a variety of PTMD Home products. In the outside area we have a varied choice of stoneware and pots for your garden.

Our restaurant, Arthurs, sits in the middle of our site, backing onto a beautiful garden which is tended by our Head Gardener, Andy. Arthurs serves a selection of cakes and coffee, as well as a lunch menu of hot and cold food. Afternoon Tea is also available all year round and during the festive period we serve Christmas Dinner.

Here are The Gardener’s Garden Centre, we also run a wide range of gardening related courses in our Education Centre. All courses are taught by experienced tutors and include RHS Level 2 Certificate in Principles of Horticulture and Plant Design for Beginners.
