The Urban Garden is ‘the smallest garden centre with the biggest heart’. Located in Royal Victoria Park just below the Royal Crescent, it sells locally sourced plants and houseplants (50% grown by the team), a range of beautiful garden-ware and gifts. Plants can be packaged in recyclable posipots and you can purchase peat free compost sold in re-fillable bags. On site there is a café kiosk where customers can enjoy a coffee whilst enjoying the tranquil space. Loved by Bath residents as a calm oasis, its reputation is growing and last year it was featured in the Telegraph as one of their top 10 garden centres to visit.
As a social enterprise, The Urban Garden also offers accredited courses in practical horticulture for people who are unemployed or who are struggling with their mental health.
A purchase made there helps to support people to build confidence and progress in their lives, hopefully leading to employment. Open Thursdays-Sundays.
