Otley Garden Centre, formerly known as Stephen H. Smith’s, now part of Yorkshire Garden Centres, we’re embarking on our next chapter of our very proud history.

Set in the picturesque market town of Otley surrounded by the beautiful view of the Otley Chevin, we’re embarking on the next chapter of our very proud history, with gardening at the heart of the centre.

“Our experience this morning fully deserves all five, we went to look at garden furniture and were met with the most helpful young man… We asked for advice and he went over and above by showing us a set that wasn’t on the shop floor… he also saved us money by mentioning the Green Card which we have and to use the points for a separate purchase, thoroughly pleased with the service from the start, your staff are a credit to you.”

“Recently purchased a water fountain from OGC and found that it was losing water. I returned and spoke to Karl who was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He found that our water feature was missing a seal and immediately gave me one from his display fountain. Very grateful for his help, problem solved. Thank you.”

“Had an incredible afternoon tea for a family birthday. The staff were brilliant and even lit a cake (we provided) and brought it to the table singing happy birthday.”

“Now that’s what I call a garden centre. Very clean and bright with everything you might need for your gardening, even rare plants. Great Yorkshire food and beverages to take home for later. Kitchenware, shoes, outdoor plants… nothing‘s missing. Spent more than an hour and will definitely come back very soon!”

“Lovely garden centre. Friendly staff. I purchased an outdoor table set last year and had difficulty putting it together. The outdoor furniture manager came to my house to do it on the same day I called them. Excellent, first class, friendly service. Thank you.”

Pat B

“Extensive, well stocked garden centre. A large complex selling clothes, food and of course all kind of gardening equipment. Very large cafe and eating area, serving a wide variety of food. Well maintained and worth a visit.”
