About Us:

We are a family run, independent Garden Centre nestled on the Warwickshire – Northamptonshire border just off the A5, close to Daventry. We have been open since 2004 and the site is vibrant and full of interesting products. As we are independent we are able to choose our own stock, which means that we have one-off pieces, and some more unusual items, whilst still catering for all your gardening needs.

At Whilton Locks Garden Village you will find a well stocked garden centre, Brunos Pet Store and our mouth-watering, recently extended, Canalside Restaurant – it’s the perfect place to visit, whatever the weather!

We have a friendly and experienced team who are more than happy to help you with whatever your gardening or pets needs may be.

We know that great customer service, good prices and to stock what you’re looking for is what everyone expects of a great local garden centre. In 2023 Whilton Locks was voted The Best Garden Centre in Northamptonshire!

We are pet and wheelchair friendly throughout the site too.
