Welcome to Haskins

The site at Roundstone developed from a growing nursery into one of the first Garden Centres in the UK in the early 1970’s.

Haskins acquired the popular Roundstone Garden Centre in late 2000 and have successfully traded here since. During this time a plan has evolved to re-develop the site creating one of the most modern Garden Centres in Europe.

Work starts in April to build the new centre on 15 acres of land behind the existing Garden Centre at Roundstone, near Worthing. The existing roadside centre will remain open whilst the construction takes place. This will ensure the continued employment of the 75 staff and recruitment will start in September for an additional 50 full and part time jobs in time for an official opening in March 2012. The old Roundstone centre will then be demolished to make way for a 500 space car park.

The new centre will be a modern single storey building which will replace the commercial greenhouses currently standing on the site. The artist impressions show that the indoor and outdoor plant areas will double in size. There will also be a new floor plan for the indoor departments including houseplants, gifts, books, clothing & furniture.

Our brand new centre will comprise of:

New Garden Shop with fantastic Garden Furniture, Christmas & Gift Departments

460 Seat Restaurant

Modern Toilet Facilities

Extended Covered Sales Area

Large Outdoor Sales Area with Vast Range of Plants

Attractively Landscaped Car Park with 500 Spaces

A 460 seat Restaurant will also provide visitors a wide range of food & drink with features including a sumptuous coffee lounge serving Costa Coffee, a traditional stone hearth Pizza Oven, the introduction of a quality daily Carvery and one of the most extensive Cake Counters in the region. Free Wi-Fi for internet users will also be introduced. There will also be a large patio area for alfresco dining. An extendable function room, ‘The Roundstone Room’ will be made available to organisations & private parties.’

Take a look at our image gallery for the latest on the work taking place at Roundstone and also images of our garden Centre in Ferndown, which was re-vamped in 2008 and will give you an idea of what the finished Roundstone site will look like. (Click thumbnails to enlarge)
