Dean’s Garden Centre started out as a family run business that served local gardeners for 56 years. The York store in Stockton-on-the-Forest was opened in 1968 by Mr & Mrs Dean and the centre has gone from strength to strength growing to cover more than four acres.

Mr & Mrs Dean retired in 1993 and their 3 children took over the day to day running of the business. After 56 years of successful trading, the Partner’s made the difficult decision to sell their business to enjoy a well-earned retirement. The business is now part of the Yorkshire Garden Centre family of centres, with sites at Tong, Tingley, Otley & Bingley.

Exciting refurbishments and upgrades are coming to Dean’s York Garden Centre, and we are thrilled to bring you along on this journey with us. As we enhance our facilities to better serve you, rest assured that the charm and character of the garden centre you love will remain at the core of everything we do. Our commitment to providing a delightful experience for all our valued customers continues to be our top priority.

“Really nice garden centre with plenty of choice and a lovely cafe, well worth a visit.”

Stephen J

“Deans Garden Centre in York is a lovely place to visit. The surroundings are pleasant and well-kept, making it a relaxing spot to browse or just enjoy the setting. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the café serves great food—perfect for a coffee break or lunch.”

Russell H

“Met my family here for lunch in The Bothy. There were 6 of us and it was incredibly busy but they weren’t phased. The staff were brilliant and well organised. And the food was amazing. And the garden centre wasn’t bad either!”

Julie H

“You honestly won’t believe how great the food is until you try it. High quality ingredients and well prepared. This is, bizarrely, one of the next places to eat in York.”

Charlie O

“Mine and my friend’s favourite garden centre when I come to visit. Superb plants, indoor and outdoor and accessories. I never leave empty handed. Fabulous restaurant too… Delicious, fresh food, attentive staff, great atmosphere, and staff constantly cleaning, taking care of customers. All really courteous, even under the pressure we saw them working. Highly recommended.”

Kath B

“A brilliant place with a huge amount of plants. There’s a lovely indoor shop, and a very nice cafe. I would highly recommend taking a visit.”
