Langford Nurseries & Garden Centre
LANGFORD GARDEN CENTRE
PLEASE REMEMBER
As our business has been allowed to reopen, please
remember that we have just survived one of the hardest
professional and personal challenges we have ever met
in our almost 50 year history.
While we are so grateful to be open, the owners and
employees are still worried and stressed.
We are not out of the woods yet.
Please don’t come to us and complain about the changes
that were forced upon us due to lost revenue, lost
employees, new policies and protocols. We do not have
the same business we had at the beginning of this year
and neither will we for some time to come.
We are doing everything we can to adapt to the situation
but everything is different for us.
Be kind. Be compassionate. Above all – have patience.
Langford Garden Centre is now OPEN to the public again.
We are now open 7 days a week, 10 am until 4 pm
(last admission on a Sunday is at 3.30 pm)
Ivel Valley Coffee Shop has now reopened. We are open 7 days a week,
Monday to Saturday 10am until 3pm
(with the kitchen closing at 2.30pm)
and Sunday 10am until 2.30pm
(with the kitchen closing at 2pm)
We have had to implement some changes to allow us to open.
Please read them below or click here to download.
From Friday 24th July we will be complying with the new laws
in regard to face-masks introduced by the Government to help
control the pandemic spread.
Face masks to be worn at all time inside the garden centre building,
unless exempt,
in order to help control the spread of the Covid 19 virus.
SOCIAL DISTANCING – In order to protect our staff, customers and,
in accordance with Government guidelines, we insist that customers
keep 2 metres apart from each other. We are operating a one way
system on certain areas of the garden centre and these will be clearly
signposted. In other areas, like the tree and shrub area, we ask people
to use their common sense and to respect each others right to shop
without cause for concern and pass only when safe to do so. In our
‘Glass/Wooden house’ and ‘Poly Tunnel’ it will be one way flow only.
Hand sanitisers and cleaning stations will be available at the
‘entrance’, at strategic points and at the till area.
STAFF – In order to safeguard staff, still on furlough, we are operating
with less personnel than normal. We are unable to assist customers
with their purchases, we are unable to advise on plant choices or help
carry compost to cars etc.
We can give limited advice at the till but that is all. Anyone who
threatens or abuses our staff either verbally or physically will be
prosecuted without exception.
CUSTOMERS – We request that only ONE member of a household
visit the garden centre at one time although we respect that this is not
always possible but no more than two please.
No children allowed under 16yrs of age unless accompanied by
an adult and to be kept under close supervision at all times and
we ask that they do not touch goods within the main garden
centre unless you intend to purchase the item.
Assistance and well behaved dogs are welcome but must be
kept on a lead at all times.
We will constantly monitor the situation but it is expected that we will
limit customers to 30 at a time.
GIFTWARE – The gift shop is open to customers
SUNDRIES – Garden sundries like tools, fertilizers, chemicals and
grass seed can be purchased as normal but the areas will be
controlled by a one way flow system. Any ‘off the roll’ items that require
cutting can be requested and a member of staff will get that but you
must stand away observing the 2 metre rule.
TOILETS – Our toilets are now open to all including baby changing
facilities.
TILLS – Please wait until you are called forward to the till and do not
assist the cashier by handing up plants etc. unless asked to do so.
We request that you pay by card and preferably contactless when the
amount is £45.00 or less. We will accept HTA National Gift Vouchers
(not gift cards), Langford Loyalty Vouchers and Langford Vouchers and
cash if absolutely necessary. Please try to make your purchases as
quickly as possible in order to allow other customers to enter the
selling area.
Whilst some of these measures may seem harsh we are trying to
operate safely in unprecedented times.
We ask for your patience, understanding and tolerance.
Please be aware that our summer bedding plant selection will be
available approximately from the end of april when the risk of frost has
passed. If you would like to place an order for summer bedding plants
and hanging baskets Plants please contact us during early May 2020.

Established in 1971 Langford Nurseries and Garden Centre is one of the few remaining independent garden centres that still grow the vast majority of their plants on-site.
Our plant area offers a huge range of shrubs, climbers, roses, alpines, herbaceous perennials and bedding plants for all seasons. Within the garden centre you will find an extensive range of watering products, tools, barbeques, plant feeds and insecticides as well as many sundry items for every gardening need.
We also boast a large and select giftware department offering an extensive range to suit all tastes and budgets.
Established in 2010, our large Ivel Valley Coffee Shop serves freshly prepared food daily using locally sourced produce and its success continues to grow.
Many of our staff have been with the garden centre for over 30 years and several are trained in horticulture ensuring that you are given expert advise when faced with a gardening problem.
Plenty of car parking space is available at our garden centre sited alongside the picturesque River Ivel.
A customer dropped an item in our top car park today that I am sure they must be frantically hunting high and low for. Please call us if it was you.
Now the garden centre is quieter and the queues have diminished we have relaxed our rules regarding children coming in, they are now as follows:-
Children under 16yrs welcome provided they are accompanied by an adult and kept under close supervision at all times. Please ensure that they do not handle goods in the main garden centre unless you intend to purchase that item.
Well behaved dogs and, of course, assistance dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times.
Many thanks everyone for your patience and continued support during these difficult times.
Our Ivel Valley Coffee Shop is now open 10am to 3pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 2.30pm Sunday. We look forward to welcoming our regulars back but be warned, it all looks a bit different with our 'socially distancing' layout! Better to be safe than sorry is our motto.
