About All-In-One
Our standards are high and our attention to detail is second to none. We have a large car park, with disabled parking facilities (and wheelschairs inside if required).  Our shopping environment is clean, neat and tidy.       Our site is on one level with large open aisles which is a major benefit to our disabled customers and families that visit us using push chairs.

COMPANY HISTORY

The All-In-One garden centre is a family owned business which has been built up from its humble roots of a transformed foundry tip.  The then husband and wife team, Dave and Beryl Stafford launched the business on 6th March 1971 . Although nurseries and market gardens existed back then, the centre was one of the country's very first purpose built retail garden centres.
In 1988 the business experienced one of its most significant investment and growth periods with a £2 million rebuild.  Extra land was purchased adjacent to the site, the car park increased in size along with the introduction of a brand new coffee shop, this further enhanced the shopping experience that customers know and love at All-In-One.

Since this time a new Houseplant area has been built and a Pet and Aquatics department successfully introduced. In 1999 the first phase of the longer term plan to give customers the opportunity to purchase outdoor plants under a covered area to protect them from inclement weather conditions, was completed when we introduced a large canopy covering the whole patio area.  It has since been extended and is home to seasonal herbs, bedding plants, small trees & shrubs and garden displays to give inspiration and ideas to our customers.  A large selection of outdoor pots and water features can also be found in this area.

All-In-One garden centre today, aims to give our customers a pleasant shopping experience, in a friendly and clean environment.  We pride ourselves on our friendly staff and are well renowned for our 'recently refurbished and modernised restaurant', which enjoys the frequent visits of regular customers.  Our high quality service includes on-line buying, gift wrapping, potting, delivery and after-sales support, including the ability to e-mail us with any problems; our staff are well trained and they have both horticultural and aquatic qualifications.

We also offer many general advice and care leaflets in store and on-line (available to download and print) from plant care to pet guides - Click here to view.

OUR REPUTATION

After 36 years of trading we have established an excellent reputation in the local community and have a solid and strong customer base.

We are active within the community, sponsoring local events such as ‘Rochdale Townships In Bloom’ where areas of the town are planted up to enhance the environment. We actively support Rochdale Football Club and for several years, were their main sponsors. Regularly we sponsor charity events in the local area and every September we host the Rochdale & Slattocks Horticultural Show, where many local horticulturalists attend.  Annually, we donate a Christmas tree to our neighbours in Castleton Village and we welcome visits from local schools and community groups, where by we offer a tour of the centre and explain the principles of growing plants in a fun and easy to understand manner.  We even have a recycling centre!

At Christmas, the garden centre is transformed into a Christmas Wonderland and a visit is well worth the effort.

We like to think of All-In-One Garden Centre as a “Personal Environment Improvement Centre” - providing inspiration to help improve your quality of life, health and well-being at home.

Please explore this web site but most importantly, we would love you to come and visit the centre to experience for yourself the quality of service and products we provide, or even to just relax in our restaurant.

Hope to see you soon.
