Caulders brings award-winning garden centre to East Lothian

 

Caulders has announced that Merryhatton Garden Centre in East Lothian is now officially part of the Caulders family, becoming the group's 11th garden centre and extending its reach across Scotland into East Lothian for the first time.

 

Following the successful completion of the acquisition, all staff have transferred to Caulders and the centre remains open for business, continuing to serve its loyal customers and local community.

 

Mandy Barrie of Caulders commented: "This is an important milestone for our business, bringing our network to 11 garden centres across Scotland and establishing a presence in East Lothian. We look forward to introducing the Caulders experience to both existing and new customers."

 

An exciting refurbishment programme is already underway at the centre, with plans to enhance the customer experience throughout the garden centre. A highlight of the investment will be the opening of a brand-new Caulders Merryhatton restaurant on 1 August 2026, offering customers the high-quality food and hospitality for which Caulders has become renowned.

 

Customers can continue to enjoy the extensive range of plants, gardening products, gifts and seasonal offerings while developments progress over the coming months.
