Bawdeswell Garden Centre joins Cherry Lane as the 22nd site in the growing value garden centre group.
Cherry Lane Garden Centre is proud to announce the acquisition of Bawdeswell Garden Centre in Norfolk. This long-established and much-loved family-run centre becomes the 22nd garden centre in the Cherry Lane portfolio (19th under the Cherry Lane name), marking another exciting chapter in both the Bawdeswell and Cherry Lane stories.
Since opening its doors in 1983, Bawdeswell Garden Centre has been a cherished destination at the heart of the Norfolk countryside. Founded and nurtured by a passionate family team, it has grown into a thriving centre renowned for offering much more than plants and gardening supplies, from a popular restaurant and food hall to homewares, pet care, gifts, and clothing, all delivered with genuine warmth and outstanding service.
“This is more than an acquisition, it’s the next chapter of a story built on shared values,” said a spokesperson for Cherry Lane. “Bawdeswell has been a cornerstone of the community for over 40 years. We are privileged to continue the legacy of the family that built it, and we’re excited to enhance what’s already a fantastic customer experience with the Cherry Lane touch.”
Cherry Lane, a family-run business, has cultivated a reputation for offering unbeatable value, exceptional quality, and a truly personal approach across its 18 other centres. The acquisition of Bawdeswell perfectly complements this mission, as it redefines what a garden centre can be – a true destination for leisure, lifestyle, and inspiration.
The addition of Bawdeswell brings a new community into the Cherry Lane fold and adds to its growing presence across East Anglia, Yorkshire, and the Midlands. The beloved features that make Bawdeswell a standout destination will remain, including:
- Extensive plant and garden range
- Farm shop and food hall
- Popular restaurant
- Pet shop and aquatics
- Gift and homeware departments
- Clothing and accessories
- Friendly and passionate team
Customers can also look forward to discovering Cherry Lane’s expanded product ranges, exclusive seasonal offers, and access to an even broader variety of great-value gardening, home, pet, and leisure lines.
Cherry Lane is honoured to take the reins of such a respected business and to carry forward the values and experiences that have made Bawdeswell so special. The centre will continue to trade as Bawdeswell Garden Centre by Cherry Lane.
