Bridgemere Garden Centre

Bridgemere is one of Britain’s largest Garden centres and receives around 1.8 million annual visitors. The Garden centre sells over 3,000 plant varieties, a simply huge range of top-quality plants and gardening products. It is a real destination for gardeners!

Bridgemere is all about inspiring the amateur gardener and its credentials are impeccable! The Garden Centre was founded over 40 years ago by, John Ravenscroft. John holds the Royal Horticultural Society Veitch Memorial Medal which is awarded to "persons of any nationality who have made an outstanding contribution to the advancement and improvement of the science and practice of horticulture"

Which is why in October 2019, Bridgemere Garden Centre, Show Gardens and the Nursery were bought by The Blue Diamond Group.  With everything that is horticulture at the heart of the business, Blue Diamond's ambitions for Bridgemere are vast.

Origins Pâtisserie & Prose

Bridgemere is the home of our premier pâtisserie which features an open kitchen influenced by Rudyard Kipling and his love for cakes. 

Our in-house Chef de pâtisseries believe that pastry is different from cooking because you have to consider the chemistry, beauty and flavour and be in tune with its all sourcing secret and unusual ingredients.

The love of elegant pâtisserie dates back to the time of Napoleon when elaborate confections were popularised by great chefs such as Escoffier.

Our pastry chefs have created a signature superior comestible Bundt-style cake utilising the same fine ingredients as described by Rudyard in his quote.

Our pâtisserie range is indeed a little celebration in itself intended to delight and tantalise your palette.
