Biography

Roy and Debby Holmes took over Silica Lodge in 1994, back then it was a small nursery consisting of a small greenhouse and flower beds. Since then Silica Lodge has gained a reputation for offering a fantastic range of plants you’d expect from a traditional garden centre. We stock a large range of plants from Roses, Shrubs and Trees through to seasonal Plants, House plants and Seeds. A comprehensive range of gardening Sundries, Chemicals, Giftware, Composts, Pots, Aggregates and everything you need for your outdoor pond in our Aquatics department. With greater involvement in recent years from Roy & Debby’s son Mark & Daughter in law Stefanie the Garden Centre has grown beyond recognition from the early days as a small nursery. Silica Lodge still manages to keep the traditional family run garden centre ethos but now offers so much more than just plants! Following an extensive programme of development work in 2012/2013 Silica Lodge now offers a fantastic selection of Garden Furniture & Outdoor Leisure, Conservatory Furniture & Cane Suites, Indoor Oak Furniture.
