Monkton Elm Garden Centre in Taunton has achieved national recognition, winning a gold award at the Greatest Christmas Award ceremony. Hosted by Garden Trade News, the awards celebrate excellence in the gardening industry, and Monkton Elm was honoured for its outstanding performance over the past year.
Gold Award for Wild Bird Care & Pet Team
The awards were presented last week, and Monkton Elm Garden Centre, located in Monkton Heathfield, secured the prestigious Greatest Christmas Wild Bird Care & Pet Team Gold Award. This achievement highlights the centre’s dedication to providing top-quality products and services for pet and bird care enthusiasts.
A Family-Run Business with a Rich History
Monkton Elm Garden Centre is a family-run, independent business that has been serving the Taunton community since the early 1980s. Originally established as a tomato nursery by David and Luella Bellman, the centre has since grown into a renowned gardening destination, offering a wide range of plants, gardening supplies, giftware, and a popular café and restaurant.
Ranked Among the UK’s Top 25 Garden Centres
Monkton Elm has previously been recognised for its excellence. The Daily Mail named it one of the top 25 garden centres in the UK, making it the only garden centre in Somerset to receive this honour.
Sharing their excitement on Facebook, Monkton Elm posted:
“Some good news! The Daily Mail has named their top 25 Garden Centres in the UK, and we are on the list! As the only named garden centre in Somerset, we are so proud of our team, who work tirelessly to present the best range of plants, the best range of gardening sundries and giftware, and a fantastic restaurant and café!

The centre is not just a place to shop for plants and gardening essentials—it is a community hub where locals can find expert advice, quality products, and a warm, welcoming environment.
Winning the Greatest Christmas Wild Bird Care & Pet Team Gold Award is a significant achievement for Monkton Elm Garden Centre. This recognition further solidifies its reputation as one of the best garden centres in the UK.
