We care passionately about how we do business and are proud to have a robust ‘Climate and Community’ commitment that details our pathway to sustainability, the active role we play in our local community and the caring culture we have created for our people.
Within each of our four pillars, we are committed to making a difference; this will always be a work in progress as we strive to better than ourselves each and every year.
Our Four Pillars


The climate emergency in Yorkshire and globally is more prevalent than ever and one way we can all enjoy helping make a change for the better is in our gardens.
We actively support the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and we promote nature-based solutions that help tackle the climate crisis by protecting and restoring the nature that we all depend on.


At the heart of Tong Garden Centre is our family. We are wildly passionate about our workplace culture and providing a GREAT place to work for our Tong family.
We root our values and culture into everything we do and we continually strive to be the best employer in the UK – we hope this goes some way to show how much we care about the people we work with.
