Our Story

A Family Business Rooted in Wales

  

Pugh’s is a proud, family-run business with a heritage spanning more than 70 years. What began as a small market garden in the 1950s has grown into one of South Wales’ most loved garden centre destinations, while still remaining true to its family values.

Over generations, the Pugh family has nurtured a deep passion for plants, gardening and creating inspiring spaces. Today, that same passion continues to shape everything we do, from our garden centres to our expanding lifestyle and hospitality experiences.

  

Growing Through Generations

From humble beginnings growing and selling fresh produce, Pugh’s has evolved into a multi-site business combining horticultural expertise with retail, food and lifestyle.

Each generation has played a role in developing the business, helping it adapt and grow while maintaining its core values of:

• Quality
• Care
• Community
• Innovation

This balance of tradition and forward-thinking has allowed Pugh’s to remain relevant, trusted and continually evolving.

 

 

More Than a Garden Centre

Pugh’s is about more than plants, it’s about creating places where people can enjoy their homes, gardens and time together.

Across our locations, customers can:

• Discover carefully selected plants and gardening essentials
• Explore home, gift and lifestyle collections
• Enjoy seasonal inspiration and expert advice
• Relax and unwind in welcoming café and dining spaces

Our aim is to provide an experience that inspires creativity, connection and wellbeing.

   

 

Introducing The Garden Kitchen

As part of our continued growth, we introduced The Garden Kitchen by Pugh’s, a modern concept that brings together food, lifestyle and horticulture in one beautifully designed space.

First launched in Newport in 2021, The Garden Kitchen combines:

• A contemporary restaurant serving seasonal dishes
• A food hall and deli showcasing local produce
• A curated selection of gifts and houseplants

It reflects our belief that great food, beautiful surroundings and a connection to nature go hand in hand.

  

  

 

  

 

Our New Abergavenny Garden Kitchen

On 29th January 2026, we proudly opened our second Garden Kitchen in the heart of Abergavenny, marking an exciting new chapter for Pugh’s.

This new location builds on everything we’ve learned, offering:

• A vibrant restaurant with freshly prepared, locally sourced food
• A deli and food hall celebrating Welsh producers
• A unique retail space with plants, gifts and lifestyle products
• A welcoming environment designed for relaxing, socialising and discovering

The Abergavenny opening represents our continued commitment to investing in local communities, supporting regional suppliers and creating inspiring destinations for our customers.

We remain committed to:

• Growing sustainably
• Supporting local communities
• Innovating our customer experience
• Staying true to our family values

As we continue to evolve, our goal is simple,  to help people enjoy their homes, gardens and everyday moments just a little bit more.
