Welcome to Hudsons Plant Centre Back in November 2018, the brothers, Dale and Carl Hudson, together with their families, embraced an opportunity and opened their new Hudson’s Plant Centre in the idyllic surroundings of the Derbyshire hills just outside the thriving and popular, village of Duffield. Who knew what an amazing success it would turn out to be in such a short space of time despite the uncertainty of Coronavirus and lockdowns. With a passion for plants and a thirst for the business and with their training and background in the wholesale Horticulture trade, Hudson’s very soon grew from strength to strength. This friendly family run business drew to itself likeminded staff and with that the knowledge base grew and customers came from all round the area to seek advice and to purchase plants for their muchtreasured outdoor gardens and spaces.

From a modest start the Hudson’s Plant Centre at Derby has now extended the site to cater for the demands of the ever-growing number of customers who grace its doors, to now boasting two other sites. The first one at Bedford which opened in the September of 2020 to the newest site at Whitemoss, near Warrington which opened its doors in November 2021. All the sites still promoting plants first and foremost and delivering quality products at reasonable prices and expert advice which is willingly given by our knowledgeable and passionate team..


So what do we now have in store for all our customers as we launch into 2024. Our outdoor plant area, probably one of the largest and well stocked retail plant areas in the East Midlands, covers a wide range of plants that either the new or more experienced gardener could ever wish for. This includes a lovely selection of ornamental trees, ranging from the more popular garden varieties to some unusual specimens for those of a discerning nature. There are fruit trees and shrubs to start your adventure into Grow-Your-Own from large to the more modest in size and different varieties to suit the many and varied tastes of the discriminating fruit grower.

We maintain a large stock of shrubs of all shapes and sizes throughout the year including evergreens and deciduous bushes, scented and flowering as well as those with interesting foliage that add diversity to the garden borders. We also have larger shrubs for a more instant impact in the garden and keep different forms of hedging all year round. Climbing plants have become ever increasingly popular as people have sort to hide unsightly fencing or Screening to train over buildings, pergolas or archways. There are many wonderful and stunning options to enhance vertical areas for the selective gardener to choose from and extending the flowering period can be achieved by a judicious decision to add colour and vibrancy in the form of climbers. New varieties are released yearly which we add to our range and by adding height to gardens can add another dimension and that luscious splash of colour throughout the year.


Our shady area contains many plants for that perennial problem area. Here they don’t just survive they thrive. Shady areas don’t have to be grey they can be a riot of colour at different times of the year and if you need any advice our experienced and knowledgeable staff will be more than happy to help. We stock seasonal bulbs and seeds throughout the year along with all the growing media and equipment required to ‘Grow-your-Own’ whether that for you means flowers or vegetables. We do stock peat free composts which is much needed in order to preserve the environment. Propagating trays and a host of pots and paraphernalia needed to make the magic happen are available. We have a large range of fertilisers and treatments for growing or whether it’s to keep those pests and diseases at bay our expert advice is readily available. We also have a far more extensive range of Wilkinson and Wolf Garten tools to cater for the discerning gardener. As well as the vast variety that Wolf tools offer we have a great range of stainless steel hard wearing Wilkinson implements traditionally and elegantly styled whilst still being strong and ultimately practical. Our range of statues and outdoor ornaments add focal points and structures of interest in the garden, and these range from traditional pieces to more classical and the downright whimsical. We believe gardens are an all-year round affair and not just for the summer months. These ornaments also make poignant and special gifts which can be treasured whatever the weather. Our outdoor living department has continued to grow as people continue to make the most of their gardens. Benches and outdoor dining has remained very popular together with outdoor cooking and firepits, which we have to suit all budgets. These together with an array of lighting and outdoor decorations really turn the humble garden into a more usable outdoor living space in which to enjoy on your own or with friends.

These are housed together with a dazzling array of stylish and yet practical pots and containers which would grace any interior whether that be a domestic or commercial situation.


All our sites have similar plants on offer which are tweaked slightly to cater for the locality and customer base at each venue. But all are in tip top condition and there are many unusual and sometimes rare plants on offer. We offer an extensive bird care range which has also been expanded as people have realized the importance of encouraging birds into their gardens, not just as a wonderful spectacle but also to keep the ecosystem of the garden in balance, by naturally keeping pests down. Not only do we have a large variety of different feeds to suit the various garden visitors, but we have accompanying feeders, stands and bird tables and houses all elegantly designed and showcased. Adding to that we stock wildlife feeds and a range of hedgehog houses for this very useful garden guest. At Hudson’s Pet Haven, we’ve got tails wagging with joy!
