West Somerset Garden Centre is a traditional independent garden centre situated only 22 miles from Taunton.
What began in the late 1970s as a specialist forestry and landscaping business has flourished into a vibrant destination for plant lovers, foodies, and families alike. With our roots in growing, we bring decades of hands-on plant knowledge – and it shows in the incredible variety of trees, shrubs, and seasonal favourites we offer throughout the year.
Our plants are carefully sourced from trusted UK and European growers to ensure the best quality and the widest selection, no matter the season. Whether you’re searching for something rare or a reliable garden staple, our friendly, knowledgeable team is here to help you choose with confidence.
There’s plenty more to enjoy too – our welcoming café serves up delicious homemade food, cakes, and coffee, perfect for a relaxing break. Nearby, you’ll find a thoughtfully curated selection of food, treats, and pantry favourites – from local gems to special finds from further afield.
Whether you’re here for garden inspiration, great food, or a unique shopping experience, we hope you’ll leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and excited to come back.
We’re proud to offer a wide and ever-changing selection of trees, shrubs, perennials, and bedding plants to keep your garden looking vibrant in every season. Sourced from trusted growers across the UK and Europe, our plants are chosen for their quality, variety, and suitability for a range of garden styles.

At West Somerset Garden Centre we are conscious of our sustainability responsibilities. We have introduced recycling schemes for most of our waste; this includes cardboard, paper, plastic, metal and wood. Currently the majority of our waste is recycled and we aim to further improve moving forward. Where possible we return any plastic plant carrying trays back to the suppliers for them to reuse or offer these to customers for their own use.
We have installed a water capture system collecting rainwater from our gutters which is stored and used to water our plants. We have installed 60 solar panels generating our own electricity helping to cut down our Carbon Footprint.
Here’s what our solar panel usage has achieved so far:
🌍 64 tonnes of carbon dioxide avoided
🪵 26 tonnes of coal not burned
🌳 Equivalent to planting 36 trees
Every panel is a step toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.
