The Garden Centre Association (GCA)
Over 160 leading garden centres belong to the Garden Centre Association. Our members cover all parts of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland and each one has to achieve a high level of good business practice before they can be accepted as an Approved Member and to ensure that high standards are maintained, each garden centre is inspected annually.

The Association's Plant Guarantee Scheme enhances the GCA's belief that customers should be assured that they can buy plants with confidence at any member garden centre. Any hardy plant that fails to grow, provided it has received reasonable care and is returned to the garden centre within one year of purchase, will be replaced.
