Caulders set to add Merryhatton Garden Centre as their 11th centre

 

Merryhatton Garden Centre in East Lothian is set to change hands in June 2026. It will be bought by Caulders, who currently own and operate 10 centres across central Scotland.

 

Helen MacDonald, who has owned and developed Merryhatton over the past 29 years, will retire and all staff will be transferred to Caulders.

 

Helen commented: “This is an exciting time for Merryhatton. I’m delighted that our thriving business will be taken forward by such a well-respected family who place great emphasis on garden centres in the community.”

 

Mandy Barrie from Caulders commented: “We are looking forward to welcoming the team at Merryhatton in to the Caulders family and working with them to continue to develop the great business that Helen has built at Merryhatton."

 

The sale is expected to complete in June 2026.
