For well over 80 years the Bickerdike family has been in the horticultural industry. When his father retired, Mark Bickerdike with his wife Debbie decided to follow the family tradition and set up a Garden Centre of their own. In 1999 they opened Bickerdikes Garden Centre, employing the same principles as previous generations of the family: quality, choice, value for money and above all personal, friendly, welcoming and expert service.
