Green Garden Spaces

Opened in March 2023, Green Garden Spaces is an independent business on the site of Stokeley Farm Shop, Stokenham, Devon. Run by husband and wife team, Emma and Jonathan Hutchinson who have run a seperate gardening business in the area for the last 18 years.

The garden centre offers an extensive range of plants that are beautiful, reliable and often unusual varieties. Using local suppliers where ever possible means that the plants are great quality and reasonably priced. The garden centre shop, housed in a converted shipping container, has a plethora of garden seeds, tools and gifts as well as a great range of wildlife essentials such as bird boxes, feeders and food. The recent additions of British grown houseplants by The Little Botanical and prestigious roses from David Austin Roses completes the range.

Information on planting suitability and combinations for pots, beds and borders is freely available. You can pop in to the garden centre for experienced, knowledgeable advice on plants for your garden whether in Devon or further afield.

Open 7 days a week 9am – 5pm

Please pay for Green Garden Spaces plants, pots, compost in our container.

You will often find us doing jobs around the garden centre so please ask for us if you can’t see us!

A lifelong interest in plants and wildlife, combined with running a seperate gardening and cleaning business, has enabled us to create a varied portfolio of ideas to help you make the most of your garden. The gardens we work with focus on the microclimate of the local area and importantly the wishes of the people who will be enjoying them. Our work includes clients with gardens both large and small, providing maintenance or redesign advice, volunteering in a primary school garden, talking to fellow gardeners about plants and following passions for wildlife and sustainable floristry.

Plants and Houseplants

We specialise in providing an extensive range of plants which are high quality but not high price. Local suppliers keep transport time to a minimum and reduce cost while helping plants thrive in our local climate. We strive to use local companies and support other small UK businesses. The majority of our suppliers are peat free or moving towards peat free status.

Our annuals, perennials and shrubs are grown in Devon and Somerset.

We are proud stockists of David Austin Roses and Frank P Matthews Trees.

Bulbs are supplied by Taylors Bulbs who offer an extensive range from Alliums, Crocus, Daffodils and Iris to Tulips and many more.

An exciting range of British grown houseplants from The Little Botanical allows us to indulge in and sell wonderful indoor varieties such as Boston Ferns, Peace Lily, Pothos, Aloe Vera, String of Hearts, String of Pearls and Monstera amongst others.

Pots, Seeds and compost

Our carefully chosen range of pots bring you options to suit all locations. The terracotta range looks especially good with heat loving plants. There are glazed pots in shades of natural, green and blue for a splash of colour. For a traditonal look with a modern material, our fibrelite pots are light weight and versatile. All are frost proof and reasonably priced. Look out for unusual shapes like our popular low bowls for bulbs, succulents or Alpine plants.

We have a handpicked range of indoor pots, pots with saucers and hanging pots.

We are proud stockists of Suttons Seeds and Earthsong Seeds. They provide an extensive range of all your favourite plants to grow including flowers, herbs and vegetables.

We are excited to be stockists for Coir Products. The growing medium, seed compost, coco chips, mulch mats, seed pots, yarn and hanging baskets are made entirely from a biodegradable, natural and carbon neutral by product of the coconut industry.
