Welcome to Tong Garden Centre
Tong Garden Centre is an award winning retail destination for families in the heart of Yorkshire. Nestled between the cities of Leeds and Bradford, within easy reach of the M62 and set in 17 acres of beautiful countryside, we are independently-owned and proud to play an active part in our community.
Plants remain at the heart of the centre and our team really know their onions; they’re always on hand, ready to help you with all your gardening needs. To complement the choice of plants and gardening products, you’ll also find a large outdoor living range of garden furniture, barbeques and outdoor lighting, an inspiring home, gift and toy department plus retail concessions including Maidenhead Aquatics, Pavers Shoes and Bon Marche. A visit at Christmas time to experience our magical displays for the festive period is a must.
Dining at Tong Garden Centre is always a treat with a choice of two table service eateries – Bloom’s Kitchen and The Mezzanine. Offering different menus, you can always guarantee a warm welcome in a relaxed environment and delicious dishes and desserts served daily for you to enjoy.
We’re also home to Grass Hoppers – our own indoor and outdoor play centre – and our latest redevelopment is Hearty’s Food Hall which boasts our butchery, bakery and deli as well as a wide choice of local and regional produce from our favourite ‘Heartisans’.
Open daily with extensive parking, Tong Garden Centre is an enjoyable day out for families and is now one of the largest garden centres here in Yorkshire.
