Get To Know Us

Since 1976, Hambrooks has been at the heart of Hampshire’s gardening and landscaping community. Founded by Norman Hambrook, what began as a small nursery has flourished into a thriving garden centre and award-winning landscaping business. Our commitment to quality, plants, and people remains just as strong nearly 50 years on.

A Tradition of Excellence

From the beginning, Hambrooks has focused on celebrating the beauty and diversity of plants. Over the years, we’ve expanded, but our roots remain firmly in horticulture. As one of the few specialist landscaping companies with our own garden centre, we take pride in offering high-quality plants, materials, and inspiration, all backed by expert advice and plant guarantees.

More Than a Garden Centre

Our garden centre is a vibrant hub where passionate gardeners, curious beginners, and design dreamers come together. Whether you’re after a single plant or a full garden makeover, we’re here to help. Our display gardens are designed to spark ideas and showcase real landscaping solutions, from planting combinations to paving layouts.

The Team Behind the Scenes

• We’re more than just a business, we’re a close-knit team who genuinely care about plants, people, and great service. With decades of combined experience, we’re here to help you bring your garden to life. Whether it’s carrying compost to your car, serving you the freshest home made cakes or recommending the best plants for a tricky spot, we go the extra mile to make every visit rewarding.

What Makes Us Different

• Personal service: We get to know our customers and love hearing about your garden plans.
• Specialist plant knowledge: Our team includes experienced plant specialists—feel free to ask for advice or recommendations on your next visit.
• Landscaping expertise: Our in-house landscaping & garden maintenance teams use the same plants and products we sell - so we know they perform.

Your Gateway to Great Gardens

As part of Hambrooks Landscapes, the garden centre is also a place to explore the full potential of your outdoor space. Our dedicated Garden Design Studio is the perfect spot to meet with a landscape designer, discuss your ideas, view material samples, and get inspired by our show gardens.
