Selling through Etsy, Amazon, eBay or Not On The High Street can bring orders. It also takes a slice of each sale and keeps the customer relationship. You do the hard work, while the marketplace controls the checkout, customer data and follow-up. That makes every future sale harder to win.

An online shop for garden centres and nurseries gives you a different position. You own the website, the customer list and the buying journey. Customers can order plants, compost, pots, gifts and seasonal products without waiting for opening hours or finding a busy phone line.

The problem

What is costing Garden Centres & Nurseries work right now

Marketplace fees cut every sale

Etsy, Amazon and eBay can take a share of each order. That reduces your margin on plants, gifts and garden products, especially when delivery and packaging already cost more.

Your customer list stays elsewhere

Marketplace buyers belong to the platform, not your garden centre. You cannot build the same direct relationship or make future seasonal offers as easily.

Plant delivery needs careful detail

A basic shop may not collect delivery areas, access notes, plant sizes or preferred dates. Your team then spends time chasing information before an order can be priced.

The result

What changes once it is live

You keep more of each sale

Your own shop removes the marketplace relationship from the centre of the sale. You control the checkout, customer details and follow-up, while keeping more room in each order margin.

Customers buy beyond opening hours

People can browse plants, order garden products and choose delivery or collection when your team is busy or the centre is closed. Orders wait safely for your staff to process.

Orders arrive with useful details

Product checkout and enquiry forms collect quantities, sizes, postcodes, access notes and dates. Your team can price and fulfil orders without repeated calls for missing information.

01

Your website becomes the hub of every sale

Your garden centre website should do more than display opening times and a few photographs. It should bring your products together, take payment, collect delivery details, send order updates and record what each customer buys. We build the online shop around your stock, your delivery area and the way your team works.

Customers can browse plants by type, size, colour, growing conditions or use. They can order compost with a patio planter, choose click and collect, or arrange delivery for larger items. Your team sees orders in one place, instead of checking separate messages, marketplace accounts and payment records.

The result is a garden centre ecommerce website that works beyond your opening hours. It handles routine buying while you focus on stock, displays, customers and staff. It also gives you one place to promote seasonal ranges, collect customer details and bring previous buyers back.

  • Product pages written to sell
  • Secure card payments through Stripe or PayPal
  • Delivery and click and collect options
  • Stock and order management
  • Customer emails and order updates

02

Local customers find you before they find a marketplace

People search for garden centres near them when they need compost today, a delivery of shrubs, a Christmas tree or advice about a new border. We help your business show up for those searches, with clear pages about your products, delivery areas, click and collect and seasonal services.

Your Google Business Profile is the box that appears in Google Maps and local search. We keep its details accurate, add useful updates and connect it to the right pages on your website. That helps people see your opening times, phone number, location, reviews and available services before they choose where to buy.

Our garden centre website design also covers nearby areas such as Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, North Shields, South Shields, Whitley Bay, Wallsend, Jarrow, Washington, Cramlington and Blyth. The same approach works across the UK for nurseries serving wider delivery areas.

  • Local product and service pages
  • Google Business Profile updates
  • Clear delivery area information
  • Google Merchant Centre setup
  • Product listings for Google Shopping

More detail

More on websites for garden centres & nurseries

The rest of what garden centres & nurseries ask us, tidied away. Open what you need.

Some garden centre orders need more than a product and a checkout. Customers may need a quote for a large plant delivery, a bulk compost order, commercial planting, a school project or a collection of heavy goods. A clear enquiry form gathers the information your team needs before anyone calls back.

We can ask for plant types, quantities, pot sizes, delivery postcode, access details, preferred dates and photographs. You receive a useful request rather than a vague message saying, "How much for some trees?" That means faster replies, more accurate prices and less time spent chasing missing details.

The same website can support both instant purchases and considered sales. Smaller items go through checkout. Larger or unusual jobs reach your team as properly described enquiries. You can then price the work, arrange delivery and track where each opportunity came from.

  • Bulk order enquiry forms
  • Delivery postcode and access fields
  • Plant quantity and size choices
  • Photo uploads for useful context
  • Clear contact details on every form

Plant buyers want confidence before they spend. They want to know that plants arrive healthy, deliveries turn up when promised and click and collect is organised. Reviews, customer photographs, growing advice and clear guarantees answer those worries before they become reasons to leave the website.

We can set up a follow-up process that asks for a review after an order, collection or delivery. The message can point customers to your Google review page and invite useful feedback. Your team does not need to remember every request, and happy customers get an easy way to share their experience.

Those reviews support both your Google Business Profile and your website. They show local shoppers that real people trust your service. Strong proof can decide who gets the call when several garden centres sell similar plants at similar prices.

  • Review request emails after orders
  • Google review link setup
  • Customer photographs and planting stories
  • Delivery and collection testimonials
  • Proof placed beside key products

A busy garden centre misses calls for ordinary reasons. You may be unloading a delivery, serving a queue, pricing a landscaping order or working in the plant area. Our AI receptionist answers in your business name, 24 hours a day, including evenings and weekends.

It takes the caller's details, asks what they need and sorts urgency. It can capture delivery enquiries, plant questions, opening-time requests and callback needs. It then texts you the details immediately, so you can decide what needs attention without listening to a long list of missed calls.

The AI receptionist costs £169 a month. It is £199 a month when bundled with Website Care. It does not replace your judgement or your staff. It makes sure a missed call becomes a useful lead instead of a customer who phones the next garden centre.

  • Answers 24 hours a day
  • Uses your business name
  • Takes job and contact details
  • Sorts urgent requests
  • Texts you the information immediately

When you are ready to buy leads through Google, we can manage campaigns for products and services with clear demand. That might include plant delivery, Christmas trees, raised beds, compost, planters or a seasonal collection service. Each advert sends people to a relevant page, not a generic home page.

Google Ads Management is £449 a month. This includes campaign management, bid and budget optimisation, advert copy testing, negative keyword management, landing page optimisation and a monthly reporting call. Ad spend is billed directly by Google. We never mark it up.

Tracking shows what happens after someone clicks. You can see which campaigns lead to purchases, phone calls, quote requests or click and collect orders. That gives you a clearer view of real jobs and sales, rather than judging adverts by clicks alone.

  • Campaigns for seasonal demand
  • Google Shopping product campaigns
  • Ad copy and landing page tests
  • Calls and orders tracked
  • Ad spend paid directly to Google

Garden centre sales follow the seasons. Customers look for spring planting advice, summer containers, autumn bulbs, winter protection and Christmas products at different times. SEO and Content gives those searches a proper answer on your website, instead of leaving Google to guess what you offer.

The service costs £249 a month. Each month includes two useful pages or articles, local search work, Google Business Profile posts, business listing updates, position tracking and a reporting call. We can build content around real products, real questions and the delivery areas you serve.

You can add Automated Social Media for £99 a month. It plans, writes and posts to Facebook and Instagram, ready for you to approve in one sitting. The Intelligent Marketing Coach costs £49 a month and gives you weekly marketing tasks built around your business, so there is always a sensible next step.

  • Two pages or articles each month
  • Local search work
  • Google Business Profile posts
  • Automated Facebook and Instagram posts
  • Weekly marketing tasks if required

Ecommerce Launch costs £2,495, excluding VAT. It gives you everything needed to start selling properly online, including your shop, products, payments, delivery settings and the core customer journey. It suits a garden centre starting online or testing a focused range of products.

Ecommerce Growth costs £3,995, excluding VAT. This is the package most established businesses should take. It gives your shop more room for product ranges, marketing, stock handling, tracking and growth. Ecommerce Pro starts from £5,995 for established businesses with complex stock, delivery, systems or operational needs.

Ecommerce Care is required at £99 a month, excluding VAT. A shop needs more attention than a brochure website because payments, stock, security and shop software must keep working. It includes hosting, security, daily backups, updates, uptime checks, up to 30 minutes of content changes and email support.

If you want to start without the upfront cost, the no upfront option is £199 a month on a 24 month term. There is no setup fee. You receive a template shop built for your trade, with hosting, care and the AI receptionist included.

  • Ecommerce Launch, £2,495
  • Ecommerce Growth, £3,995
  • Ecommerce Pro, from £5,995
  • Ecommerce Care, £99 a month
  • No upfront option, £199 a month

The honest comparison

Why do some websites cost £199?

It is a fair question, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.

If you simply need a basic online presence, a low-cost website builder may be enough. Somewhere to point people who already know your name. If that is genuinely all you need, do that and spend the money elsewhere. We would rather tell you that than take a fee for something you will not use.

Our websites are designed for established businesses that want Google traffic to turn into calls, enquiries and customers. Copy, tracking, conversion setup and ongoing management are built in. That is a different product solving a different problem, and it is priced accordingly.

Who writes the words

A £199 builder site

You do, usually at 11pm, into a blank box.

A Look North website

We do. Copywriting for every page is included, written around the jobs you actually want.

Whether it shows up on Google

A £199 builder site

It will rank for your business name. Not much else.

A Look North website

A page for every service and every town you cover, structured so each one can rank.

What happens to an enquiry

A £199 builder site

A contact form emails you. If you miss it, you miss it.

A Look North website

Quote forms written for your trade, instant SMS and email alerts, and every enquiry stored so none are lost.

When the phone rings and you are on a job

A £199 builder site

It goes to voicemail. Most callers hang up and ring the next business.

A Look North website

Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, takes the details and texts you straight away.

Knowing what is working

A £199 builder site

A visitor counter, if that.

A Look North website

Call tracking, conversion tracking and call attribution, so you know which clicks became real jobs.

Getting reviews

A £199 builder site

You remember to ask, sometimes.

A Look North website

Review generation set up so a request goes out after every job, with the results shown on your site.

What happens after launch

A £199 builder site

Nothing. It sits there until you cancel the subscription.

A Look North website

The Marketing Coach gives you a plan broken into weekly jobs, so the site keeps earning its keep.

Who owns it

A £199 builder site

The platform. Stop paying and it disappears.

A Look North website

You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the content are yours.

Speed on a phone

A £199 builder site

Template bloat, often slow, which costs you rankings and visitors.

A Look North website

Built mobile first, because that is where almost every local search happens.

When something breaks

A £199 builder site

A help centre article and a support queue.

A Look North website

Website Care at £59 a month: monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers.

We have a £199 a month option too. It is not the same thing.

If the upfront cost is the blocker rather than the quality, we do a no upfront option at £199 a month on a 24 month term. That is not a builder subscription. It is a real site built for your trade, with hosting, Website Care and the AI receptionist included, live in 5 working days. The difference between that and a £199 builder site is the difference between renting a van and renting a parking space.

£199 a month

24 month term, nothing upfront

Start with no upfront cost

What the difference buys

What you actually get for the difference

Not features. The things that change how much work comes in.

01

Every call answered

A missed call is a customer ringing your competitor. The AI receptionist picks up 24/7, qualifies the job and texts you. Most trades win back more than the cost of the whole website in the first few months.

02

Found for the work you want

One page cannot rank for eight services across twelve towns. We build a page for each, so you show up for the specific job someone is searching for right now.

03

Enquiries you can price

Not "how much for a bathroom?" but property type, scale, access, timing and photos. You quote accurately, first, without a site visit.

04

Proof that compounds

A review request after every job. In a year you have the review count competitors cannot catch up with, and reviews are the last thing a customer checks before calling.

05

Words written for you

Copywriting for every page is included. No blank boxes, no writing your own service descriptions at 11pm, no page that sounds like everyone else.

06

Proof of what paid off

Call tracking and conversion tracking show which clicks turned into jobs. You stop guessing which half of the marketing worked.

07

A plan for after launch

The Marketing Coach turns a strategy into weekly jobs small enough to actually finish. That is why our sites are still growing a year later.

08

You own the lot

Code, domain, hosting, content and your Google Business Profile. Nothing switches off if you leave, because nothing was rented to you.

If a basic presence is all you need, a builder is the sensible choice and we will say so. If you want the phone to ring more often, that is what we build. Get a fixed price.

FAQ

Garden Centres & Nurseries ask us these most

Price, timescales and ownership, answered for a garden centre.

Ecommerce Launch costs £2,495, excluding VAT. Ecommerce Growth costs £3,995 and is the package most established businesses should take. Ecommerce Pro starts from £5,995 for businesses with more complex products, stock, delivery or systems. Every package also requires Ecommerce Care at £99 a month. We confirm the right package after understanding your range and selling process.
The timescale depends on your product range, photographs, delivery rules and how much information must be added. A focused shop is quicker than a large catalogue with many variations. We agree the work and launch plan before starting. You will need to provide product details, prices, images, policies and payment information so we can keep the build moving.
Ecommerce Care is required because an online shop needs more attention than a brochure website. Payments, stock, shop software and security must keep working together. The £99 monthly service includes hosting, SSL security, daily backups, security monitoring, software updates, uptime monitoring, up to 30 minutes of content changes each month and email support. Prices exclude VAT.
Yes. We can build click and collect into the buying journey, with clear collection instructions and suitable order notices. Customers can choose collection instead of delivery where appropriate. Your team can see the order details and prepare it for collection. We will agree collection times, product rules and any items that cannot be collected before the shop goes live.
Yes, provided the delivery rules are clear. We can set delivery areas, postcode rules, delivery charges and collection choices. Product pages can explain plant size, availability, care and delivery limits. If a plant needs a manual check because of size, weather or stock condition, the website can send an enquiry instead of accepting an unsuitable order automatically.
Yes. The shop can contain plants alongside compost, tools, pots, furniture, gifts and seasonal products. We organise categories so customers can browse naturally and add related items to their basket. Products can have variations such as size, colour or pack quantity. We will recommend the best structure after reviewing your range and how your staff manage stock.
Yes. Seasonal ranges can have their own pages, categories and buying rules. You can promote Christmas trees, spring plants, bulbs, summer containers or winter protection when demand changes. Delivery dates, collection instructions and availability can be shown clearly. We can also support seasonal Google Shopping, website content and social posts so each range gets attention at the right time.
Yes. Not every garden centre sale should use a standard checkout. We can add enquiry forms for bulk compost, large plants, commercial planting, schools, landscapers and unusual delivery requests. Forms can ask for quantities, plant sizes, postcodes, access details, preferred dates and photographs. Your team receives the information needed to price the work properly.
We can build a WooCommerce website for a garden centre where it suits the products and working process. The important part is not the software name. It is whether the complete shop takes payments, handles stock, supports delivery and collection, tracks sales and helps you market the range. We set up the system around your business, rather than handing over an empty shop.
Yes. We work with Stripe and PayPal for payments, subject to your account approval and the provider's terms. We can also set up Google Merchant Centre, which sends your products to Google's shopping listings. Product information, prices and availability need to be accurate. We will explain what you must provide and help prepare the shop for approval.
The AI receptionist answers calls 24 hours a day in your business name. It takes the caller's contact details and information about what they need, then sorts urgency and texts you the details immediately. It costs £169 a month, or £199 a month with Website Care. It is useful when staff are serving customers, handling deliveries, or working away from the phone.
Google Ads Management costs £449 a month. It includes campaign management, bid and budget changes, advert testing, unwanted search filtering, landing page work and a monthly reporting call. Your advertising budget is billed separately by Google and is never marked up by us. We track purchases, calls and enquiries so the report focuses on real opportunities, not just clicks.
The no upfront option costs £199 a month on a 24 month term. There is no setup fee. It provides a template shop built for your trade, with hosting, care and the AI receptionist included. This option suits a business that wants to start selling now without paying the full build cost upfront. Prices exclude VAT and the agreed term applies.
The website is built for your business and your customer information belongs to your business. We do not position a marketplace between you and your customers. We can explain access, account responsibilities and any third-party service terms before work starts. Payment providers and advertising platforms have their own accounts and rules, but we do not mark up Google advertising spend.
Yes. We can show your team how to add products, change prices, update stock and manage orders. The amount of training depends on the package and shop complexity. Ecommerce Care also includes up to 30 minutes of content changes each month and email support. Extra work, new pages and larger seasonal updates can be covered through Extra Support Time at £75 a month.
Monthly billing starts when the shop launches, with a 12 month minimum term and monthly billing after that. Ecommerce Care is required for every client because the shop needs ongoing hosting, security, backups and updates. Other modules can be added at any time. Build payments are 50% on signature and 50% on launch. All prices exclude VAT.
