As all the best things do, Ruxley Manor began simply. Henry Evans founded H. Evans and Sons in 1876, growing plants in Sidcup then transporting them, by horse and cart, to sell at the markets in Covent Garden. Since then, and thanks to the pioneering family after him, Ruxley Manor is now one of the UK’s best family-run Destination Garden Centres. Offering everything from excellent quality flowers, shrubs and trees to anything you could want to improve both your garden and your home – as well as a delicious bite to eat whilst you browse. Ruxley Manor Garden Centre was first started in 1964 by current Director, Richard Evans. Beginning life as a mail-order seed delivery service the operation soon developed and Ruxley Manor Farm, on the border of London and Kent, was purchased to support the growing business. We’ve come a long way since then with 5th generation family members now running the garden centre and restaurant – but a few of us still hope the orange floral trends of the 60’s come back around soon!
