Santa Has Arrived at Stewarts






Due to exceptional demand this year Santa has now sold out completely and cannot take any more bookings.


Christmas at Stewarts is a unique experience that the whole family will enjoy and children will remember for years to come.


This year not only can you see Santa's real reindeer, but  Snow Business has dressed our Grotto, featuring live, snow covered trees, quaint old buildings and some of the very best animatronic woodland creatures.


We highly recommend booking tickets in advance as demand is very high this year!


There is also the opportunity  to purchase a picture of your family with Santa everyday at GardenLands and weekends at The Country Gardencentre.



Below are a few pictures of the Grotto at our Gardenlands, Chrstchurch branch:

Best Plant Retailer In The South Of England

Stewarts Garden Centres are celebrating a double whammy!

GardenLands, Christchurch, have won for the third year running the Ruxley Rose Plantaria 2009/2010 Award for Best Plant Retailer in the South of England in the category of large garden centres.

The Country Garden Centre, Broomhill, was thrilled to win for the first time the South Coast heat in the category of small garden centres.

The competition is tightly contested, with 24 entries this year in the South Thames area, and gets its name from the sponsorship by Ruxley Manor Garden Centre when it started in 1984. The Ruxley Rose competition is about encouraging GCA members to look at the whole plant experience around their garden centres - from the car park, through all the plant displays with attention to all the little details using plants to create the "wow" factor all the way.
The national round of judging of plant area at Garden Centre Association Garden Centres has now been completed and the staff at Stewarts eagerly await the GCA Conference on 25th January 2010, when the national winners in the two category bands will be announced.

Ian Boardman, National Judge commented, "It was a fascinating project to carry out and there are some shining examples of the best plant areas in the country in their full autumn colour to show the audience at the GCA Conference".




Christmas Departments are Now Open

Stewarts has proudly opened the Christmas departments at both garden centres.

Come and see our fabulous displays full of wonderful gift ideas.

Here are a couple of pictures to whet your appetite.
