History

Founded in 1937, the Bents story has grown from a love of growing roses to an entire family’s dedication to providing visitors with a truly inspirational shopping experience. Over the past 70 years, our family dream has evolved from a small, specialised plant-based business, to the extensive and unique destination that visitors enjoy today.

With our ambitious plans for the future and the family’s involvement in every part of the business, Bents aims to celebrate its achievements and continue to develop, focusing on you, your life, your home and of course your garden!
