Hayes Garden World
A landmark Ambleside garden centre with plants, outdoor living, homeware, gifts and food, backed by more than two centuries of family history.
About Hayes Garden World
Hayes Garden World is much more than a place to pick up a plant. The large Lake Road site has become an Ambleside destination in its own right, combining extensive indoor and outdoor plant ranges with garden furniture, outdoor living, homeware, gifts and seasonal displays. The Hayes family’s horticultural story stretches back more than 200 years, giving the business an unusually deep connection with the town.
It is a useful all-weather stop for visitors as well as gardeners, with on-site food and drink and a large retail offer that can easily fill an hour or two. The garden centre is on the southern approach to Ambleside, within walking distance of Waterhead for many visitors. Parking is available on site, but busy weekends and holiday periods can be particularly popular.
Our local note
A major Ambleside shopping stop for gardens, homeware and gifts, with enough under one roof to make it useful even when the Lake District weather turns.
