Lay of the Land is a family run “pocket” garden centre, and is probably one of Settle’s best kept secrets! Recognising a gap existed in the market for a wider range of garden plants than previously available in the town on a permanent basis we opened our doors on Good Friday 2012. Sited on the town centre edge of Sowarth Industrial Estate we have been credited with turning the rather tired site of a former joiner’s shop and yard into a green and pleasant oasis, crammed with interesting plants.
So now you can enjoy a wonderful cup of artisan roasted coffee whilst you ponder your purchases, or sample a freshly prepared snack or homemade cake at our new Cafe in Lay of the Land.
There are thousands of plants in cultivation, if not hundreds of thousands, and no garden centre anywhere can stock them all. Whilst small, however, we firmly believe garden centres should focus first on the plants, and have been told on many occasions we have more plants, and more variety, than many centres much larger than us.
