About us

We are a friendly family run independent garden centre. There has been a nursery on Halifax Road, Brighouse for 157years, originally established in 1864 as Slead Syke Nurseries by the Kershaw family, the business was acquired in 1929 by Yates Seeds.

Under the ownership of the Yates family (who still own and run Kershaw’s today) the nursery became renowned not just as seedsmen, but as Rose Growers and as producers of quality trees and shrubs.

In the 1960’s pioneering nurserymen started to open their businesses up to supply members of the public with plants grown in containers that could be planted all year round. By the end of the decade, Kershaw’s Garden Centre was operating from what is now the Enchanted Wood Tea Room. With the business growing swiftly the current shop was built in 1971.

Kershaw’s Garden Centre and Shopping Village is still owned and managed by the Yates family, with Manager Mark Yates the third generation of the family to be growing on Halifax Road.
