Websites for garden centres and nurseries: your plants and products on your own site within the hour, and the enquiry on your desk first
You already keep your plants and products up to date for the online plant retailers. The same feed can run a site you own, fast enough to score 100 on Google's own test, where a gardener or a landscaper finds the plant, sends the enquiry to you, and never sees a competitor's stock beside yours.
What it is like now
- What is in stock changes daily with the season and the website is frozen in spring.
- Landscapers want trade lists and availability, and ring for both.
- Events, café and plant sales all fight for the homepage.
What we build for garden centres
- Availability lists by category, updated from your stock system or a simple daily upload
- Trade availability and pricing behind a login
- Click-and-collect and local delivery for the ranges that suit it
- Seasonal landing pages that rank when people are searching
What it looks like in practice
Availability changes daily with the season and the website is frozen in spring; landscapers ring for trade lists. We publish availability lists by category from the stock system or a simple daily upload, put trade availability and pricing behind a login, add click-and-collect and local delivery for the ranges that suit it, and build seasonal landing pages that rank when people are searching.
What a website costs for garden centres and nurseries
Most garden centres need the Growth tier, from €10,000, delivered in 6 weeks, paid 40% to start, 40% at staging sign-off, 20% at launch. That includes your plants and products fed from your own system, a page per plant, the filters your buyers use, enquiry capture with alerts, sector pages, structured data, 100/100 on Google's speed test at launch, and your hosting, domain and code in your name.
After launch, most take the Managed care plan at €195 a month: hosting, backups, updates, monitoring, unlimited content edits and two hours of development a month, cancel any month. If the site you have now only needs its faults fixed rather than replacing, single fixes start at €350 and the free audit names them.
Typical ticket for a plant in your trade is €20 to €5,000; one enquiry that comes to you instead of to the online plant retailers covers a lot of website. The full menu, with the five-year comparison, is on the pricing page.
Questions garden centres ask
- Our stock changes every day.
- A daily upload from your till or a spreadsheet is enough. The site shows what you actually have, dated.
- Landscapers want trade availability.
- Behind a login, with their prices and a quick-order sheet by plant name and size.
- Can the café and events sit on the same site?
- Yes, on their own pages, without fighting the plants for the homepage.

Five questions to ask anyone quoting you, and our answers
- Where is the work actually done?
- Here, by the person you are talking to. Nothing is passed to a white-label shop in another time zone without telling you, because nothing is passed anywhere.
- Who can see my enquiry data, and under what agreement?
- You, and us while we build or maintain it, under a written data-processing agreement. Your customers' details never leave infrastructure in your name.
- What happens on day 31?
- The same as day 1. Fixed-price builds carry a 90-day warranty on defects; care plans run month to month; nothing expires when the invoice clears.
- Who owns the code, the hosting and the domain?
- You do, from the first commit. Your repository, your hosting account, your registrar. Written into the quote.
- What does Google's own speed test say about it?
- 100/100 at launch on every build we ship, or you do not pay the final instalment. Run it yourself, on any page of the proof site, right now.
