Over the years we have grown into one of the South East’s largest independent garden centres, yet we remain true to our roots with the same focus on value, choice and expertise that has guided us from the beginning. Whether you are looking for plants, outdoor living inspiration, homeware, gifts or a memorable day out, Polhill offers an experience that keeps people returning time and time again.

What Makes Polhill Different
There are many garden centres in Kent, but Polhill stands out for our scale, independence and customer-first approach. We have been family-run for over sixty years and are proud to remain one of the largest independent garden centres in the South East. Visitors will find a year-round destination offering everything from gardening supplies and outdoor furniture to BBQs, gifts and wild bird care.
Seasonal highlights, such as our Christmas department, have become famous across Kent and beyond, while Novell’s Restaurant and The Coffee Corner make Polhill the perfect place for a full day out. We do not simply sell products, we aim to inspire, advise and create lasting memories for every visitor.
A Destination for Every Season
Polhill is designed to offer something special at any time of year. In spring and summer the centre is filled with vibrant plants, outdoor furniture and BBQs, supported by expert gardening advice from our team. Autumn brings inspiration for the home and garden with seasonal stock and bulbs to prepare for the colder months. Winter is when Polhill transforms into a festive wonderland, with one of the most impressive Christmas shops in Kent. This variety ensures that every visit offers something new.
Our Departments
We bring together a wide range of departments under one roof, each carefully chosen for quality and customer appeal. The Plant Department offers a rich variety of seasonal plants, houseplants and shrubs, with staff always ready to give practical advice. Our Garden Furniture and BBQ showrooms provide inspiration for outdoor living and include everything from dining sets to premium cooking equipment.
For those looking for thoughtful presents and stylish homeware, our gift section offers choice and inspiration. During the festive season, the Polhill Christmas shop attracts thousands of visitors to see its displays, real trees and unique decorations. We also provide a comprehensive Wild Bird Care section so that customers can enjoy supporting local wildlife throughout the year.
Retail Partners at Polhill
What makes Polhill truly unique is the breadth of independent retail partners that share our site. Alongside our own departments, visitors can explore a wide variety of specialist shops that add even more depth and choice to the Polhill experience.
From food and drink to lifestyle, fashion and homeware, our retail partners bring something extra to every visit. Each one has been carefully chosen for quality and service, giving our customers the opportunity to discover independent businesses in one convenient location. This mix of partners means a day at Polhill offers more than a traditional garden centre, making us a destination where shopping, dining and inspiration come together.
Community & Sustainability
Polhill has always believed in supporting the local community. We are proud to sponsor grassroots sport, including rugby and bowls, and to raise funds for national charities such as the Poppy Appeal and Marie Curie. Alongside this, we are committed to sustainability and continue to make changes that benefit both our customers and the environment. These include reducing plastic where possible, managing waste responsibly and working with trusted suppliers who share our standards.
