Welcome to Whilton Locks Garden Village

We are an award winning family run, independent Garden Centre nestled on the Warwickshire – Northamptonshire border just off the A5, close to Daventry.


Whilton Locks Garden Centre
About Us:

We have been open since 2004 and the site is vibrant and full of interesting products. As we are independent we are able to choose our own stock, which means that we have one-off pieces, and some more unusual items, whilst still catering for all your gardening needs.

At Whilton Locks Garden Village you will find a well stocked garden centre, Brunos Pet Store and our mouth-watering, recently extended, Canalside Restaurant – it’s the perfect place to visit, whatever the weather!

We have a friendly and experienced team who are more than happy to help you with whatever your gardening or pets needs may be.

We know that great customer service, good prices and to stock what you’re looking for is what everyone expects of a great local garden centre. Recently Whilton Locks was voted The Best Garden Centre in Northamptonshire!

We are pet and wheelchair friendly throughout the site too.
Current Opening Times: Monday to Saturday 9am – 6pm, Sunday 10:30am – 4:30pm

A Buzzy weekend? Don

As I was driving into Whilton Locks Garden Village, this morning, the sun was shining, the sky was blue...

There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow,
There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow,
The corn is as high as an elephants eye,
An’ it looks like it’s climbing clear up in the sky.

(…and I thought).
Oh, I’d better write a Facebook post.

We welcomed a huge delivery of nursery fresh plants to the store, offering colour, superb quality and we’ll be displaying them with super prices.

As I continued my commute…

All the cattle are standin’ like statues,
All the cattle are standin’ like statues,
They don’t turn their heads as they see whilst I go,
From Castle Ashby, Long Buckby, Flore and Farth-ing-hoe!

(…and I thought).
Oh, I’m not quite sure about this diversion, thanks to the road closure from Duston**. But I know it’s worth the extra few minutes as Whilton has a whole lot to look forward to.
Meet the Animals is always popular. The next one is April 1st, but don’t be foolish and miss out, book now here:
www.whiltonlocksgardenvillage.com/product/cuddle-day-meet-the-animals/

All the sounds of the earth are like music,
All the sounds of the earth are like music,
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree,
And an ol’ Weepin' Willer is laughin’ at me.

(…and I thought).
Oh, my Mum wouldn’t appreciate all those apostrophes but then she would appreciate being treated on her special day. Mother’s Day is this Sunday and we have Brunch and Afternoon Tea (in addition to delicious dinner in between). Booking for Mother’s Day is advisable which you can do here: www.whiltonlocksgardenvillage.com/ or just give us a holla on the telephone: 01327 842229.

Oh, what a beautiful posting,
Oh, what a beautiful day.
If you want a beautiful feelin’
We’re open 9 till 6 ever-y day!*

Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!

See you soon
