Welcome to Millbrook at Crowborough
Millbrook at Crowborough is where it all began 29 years ago. Our founder centre is situated just outside Crowborough, nestled in the picturesque countryside towards Rotherfield.
The centre has all you need to help you grow your garden and our friendly and knowledgeable staff are always on hand to give you help and advice.
Parking is free at Millbrook and why not take a break from your shopping and have a drink or snack at our newly refurbished greencafe?
On site we also have a large Swallow Aquatics Centre and Deaves Garden Buildings.
Grow Your Own range
This Spring Crowborough will be featuring our fantastic Grow Your Own range of fruit and veg grown on the door step at our very own Millbrook nursery. You'll even be able to see some of the plants growing on their own on John's Veg Patch - why have a look at the work in progress and see how the plot unfolds over the next few months...
News from Crowborough
Skating amongst the SKIMMIA!
Ice star Nicky Slater is put through his steps at Crowborough.
Customers at Crowborough were given a real treat at the end of January when ITV's Dancing on Ice Judge and former British Ice Dance Champion Nicky Slater dropped in to our centre.
A few weeks earlier Ice Magic, the company who hire the skating rinks to Millbrook, contacted us and said that Nicky was looking for a venue to rehearse for his forthcoming UK show and that whilst living in Brighton and travelling to and from London for Dancing on Ice and other TV commitments, our Crowborough centre would be an ideal location for rehearsals. So two weeks ahead of our planned skating event the rink was installed and Nicky made regular visits to the centre to practice for his show. This not only caused great interest among our customers but also with the local media, so much so that we made the front page of the Kent & Sussex Courier and a three minute slot on BBC South East News.
Boosted by all the additional publicity our skating weekends were a huge success with over 700 people taking to the rink at Crowborough and nearly 600 doing the same at Gravesend.
Nicky Slaters’ show Ice Times (see www.nickyslater.com for dates) is currently touring the UK and he's taken one of our Christmas penguins “Millbrook” with him!
Yvonne's birds are in for a treat
Congratulations to Mrs Yvonne Kennedy from Rotherfield in East Sussex who won a fantastic Grassmere bird table in the New Year issue of Clippings. Yvonne (pictured here with Crowborough Manager Andy Botley) "said she was delighted with her prize especially as her existing table was on it's last legs"!
John's Veg Patch is taking shape!
This Spring we are going to town with Growing Your Own fruit and veg so we've decided to take the plunge and practice what we preach by letting our customers watch our very own veg garden take shape from start to finish- from construction through to harvesting. Watch this space for further developments or better still pop in to the garden centre and see what's growing!
greencafe
Our Beans cafe has been renamed and had a facelift so why not pop along to the new greencafe at Crowborough and take a look!
There's plenty more seating and now there's a fabulous new decked outdoor area where you can grab a snack or lunch in the sunshine!
