Overview

Pennells Garden Centres is a family-owned garden centre business based in Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. Established in 1780, it describes itself as one of the oldest plant providers in the nation and currently runs three centres in Lincoln, Cleethorpes and Sleaford. The business is run by the seventh and eighth generations, Richard Pennell and his son William Pennell. It operates an online webshop offering garden furniture, outdoor living, gardening supplies, homeware and gifts, with delivery or click-and-collect from its centres.

History

Pennells Garden Centres was founded in 1780 by Richard Pennell with a nursery in Sturton By Stow. The business later moved its nurseries in the early nineteenth century to the outskirts of Lincoln next to Gowt's Beck, the site of the current Pennell Street. The company's earliest record of its catalogues is from the 1840s, showing the nursery grew a wide range of plants, particularly fruit trees and rose trees. Today the company is run by the seventh and eighth generations, Richard Pennell and his son William Pennell, and operates three centres within Lincolnshire based in Lincoln, Cleethorpes and Sleaford.
