Gordon Riggs Garden Centre, West Yorkshire

Gordon Riggs garden centre- a legend in its own lifetime. When I lived at home with my parents in Bury, we used to travel all the way to Walsden, near Littleborough, to buy plants and seedlings. IN the olden days, there were't many of these pioneering garden centres about and people travelled for miles to get to them. Now Gordon Rigg has a few of these centres in the Lancashire region, and they are doing well. People travel to them from miles around- ...
...pity as I love confiers...... GOrdon Riggs sell conifers from the tiny to the box variety at £80+..specialised! Outside is also the shrub section, and we saw some lovely shrubs. On the label it says the conditions for keeping the plants- and many of them require full sun..a bit ambitious in the British climate, but never mind- people buy them and if they die..the peopl come back to Gordon Riggs and get some more- never ending supply of customers! ...

Review of Gordon Riggs Garden Centre, West Yorkshire

Gordon Rigg's Garden centre is situated in West Yorkshire in Pennine country. It is at a place called Walsden on the Yorkshire and Lancashire border 2 miles off Todmorden and 4 miles off Littleborough. It is one of my favourite Garden centres in the North of England ( and it is fair to say I've been to a few !) They are a friendly , family run concern and offer quality plants at very very competitive prices. They are also big enough to stock nearly ...
...be at least 5 acres and boasts 2 giant glasshouses one of which is heated to tropical temps. This contains tender houseplants and a wide range of orchids and such like. The other greenhouse is used for seedlings and plug plants. This is a real quality of Rigg's that they sell young trays of newly germinated seedlings at a price very comparable to that of the packet of seed. So for anyone who has problems germinating such as Petunia or busy lizzie ...

Review of Gordon Riggs Garden Centre, West Yorkshire

Gordon Riggs plant centre is based in Walsden nr Todmorden in West Yorkshire. It is a family owned business and has been going for 20+ years. There is a wide variety of plants ranging from alpines to fruit trees, ferns to bamboos etc. All the prices are very resonable and there is a huge choice of each kind to choose from. It is hard to go and not spend more than you bargained on. I go every few months and always come back with new ideas on things ...

Review of Gordon Riggs Garden Centre, West Yorkshire

We've been going to Gordon Riggs for absolutely years, no-one beats them. They have everything, not just for the garden but for the home as well now. You'll find quality and quantity right through from pet care to beatiful home furnishings. Not to say anything about hundreds of beautiful strong plants that do NOT die on you within weeks. Help and advice is always available from well mannered assistants. The goods are right and so is the price, that's why people from far and wide find their way there as a speciality outing. Nice one Mr Rigg ...
