Green Garden Spaces is an independent business on the site of Stokeley Farm Shop in the village of Stokenham, South Devon.
We pride ourselves in offering a range of plants that follow the seasons, are reliable and often unusual. Using local suppliers where possible means that our plants are great quality and reasonably priced.
Particularly important in our coastal climate is the ability for plants to thrive. We love giving advice on planting suitability and helping people combine plants for pots, beds and borders. Pop in to the garden centre for experienced, knowledgeable advice on plants for your garden.
Mondays please pay in the farm shop if we are not on site.
On all other occasions please pay for Green Garden Spaces items 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!
Hello, my name is Emma Hutchinson, owner and plantswomen at Green Garden Spaces. My husband Jonathan and I have run our own gardening and cleaning business in the area for the last 16 years. Since March 2023, the garden centre at Stokeley Farm Shop has been our own independent business.
My lifelong interest in plants combines reading, watching, listening, learning, talking about, visiting and creating gardens. These are often specific to an area and the people who will enjoy them. My work has included clients with gardens both large and small, volunteering in a primary school garden, following a passion for wildlife and sustainable floristry.
As the seasons change through the year, we bring new plants and products for you to enjoy. Gardening is a lovely way to acknowledge seasonality. Starting with the very first snowdrop spotted, following the plants and flowers through the months, enjoying their full life cycle, until frost creates a sparkly coating across the garden.
Christmas is loved in our house, a tree inside, a wreath on the door, decorations on the mantel piece and gifts that loved ones will adore. Green Garden Spaces are excited to be continuing the Stokeley tradition of selling Christmas trees and adding some extra sparkle in the form of wreaths, decorations and gifts each year.

We specialise in providing a range of plants which include annuals, biennials, perennials, shrubs, trees, bulbs and seeds. They are high quality, locally grown and reliable plants. Most are grown within the South Hams, keeping transport time to a minimum and allowing them to thrive in our climate.
Some of our favourites include early spring flowers, an extensive range of herbs, interesting perennials, shrubs and trees for structure and showy seasonal flowers .
Our compost is supplied by Durstons of Somerset. As a company they are moving towards a completely peat free range.
We stock peat free Multipurpose, Soil Conditioner, Farm Manure and Decorative Bark. This will be complimented by Seed compost and peat free Grow Bags in the Spring.
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.
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.
You will find other gardening essentials in our container. We have a handpicked range of indoor pots, pots with saucers, gardening gloves and small tools.
Suttons Seeds and Earthsong Seeds provide an extensive range of all your favourite plants to grow from seed. Available all year round, we have a great selection of flowers, herbs and vegetables.
Our range of bird feeders, nest boxes, insect, bat and hedgehog houses provides feeding, watering and habitat for a vast range of our native wildlife. We also stock specialist wildlife food such as mealworms, nyger seed, sunflower hearts and hedgehog food.
Complimenting the wildlife provision is a great range of wild ID guides and books from the Field Study Centre. These handy fold out guides give fantastic information on plants, wildlife, woodlands and seaside. They are perfect for popping in a small bag and enjoying outside.
We welcome you to chat to us about gardening for wildlife in your garden.
