A family-run garden centre that still has its "original feel" is still thriving over 80 years on.
Located on Birkenhead Road in Meols, Wirral, Carr Farm Garden Centre is a much-loved family run independent business now in its third generation. Starting life as a farm, the Jones family have operated on the site since the 1940s and have grown the business from there into a nursery and then small garden centre, before it became the destination garden centre and online retail shop we've come to know today.
It was the late Joseph 'Joe' Jones who first took over the farm and during the WWII he was commended for his efforts in potato production. For a long time, the farm also kept a dairy herd and the farm shop would be bustling with customers buying fruit, vegetables and dairy produce.
