It becomes the third garden centre in the Langlands group. Along with the original and larger site at Shiptonthorpe, York, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last summer, Langlands also has a second store at Whinmoor Leeds purchased in 2009.

Langlands Loxley, formally Garden Style at Rhinegold Garden Centre, is sited on the North/West of Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District National Park, making it the most scenic garden centre of the group with stunning views from anywhere you stand in the outside plant area.

Langlands director James Ducker said: “This is an exciting time for us, and work on site is already underway to bring the quality and exceptional service to Sheffield that makes us one of Yorkshire’s leading garden centre shopping attractions.

"We are delight to welcome Diane the centre manager and her team of 20 plus staff into the Langlands family."

The centre boasts a large amount of specimen plants growing in the grounds, including many unusual varieties that can be seen in full splendour while picking your way through a network of paths.

Former owners Pat and Kerry Brears, who have owned the garden centre for nine years were sad to hand over the business but have not gone too far away to continue and concentrate on their landscape and garden design company from a site just behind the centre.
