Langlands complete the purchase of Garden Style at Rhinegold Garden Centre


Langlands Nurseries Ltd have officially announced the purchase of another garden centre in Loxley just outside Sheffield, as reported exclusively in GTN Xtra at the weekend.

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.

Langlands director Ian Ducker added: “The purchase of the site and expansion of the company would not be possible without the fantastic teams of staff we have in both our centres.. We are also very excited to be adding to the almost 30,000 Loyalty Card Customers we already have and offer the gardeners of Sheffield some great offers with our Loyalty Card."

Langlands started out in business in 1955 in Bingley, West Yorkshire by Walter Ducker. The business moved to Shiptonthopre in 1964. It now employs nearly 200 staff with the inclusion of the new centre. Walter’s two sons Robert and John, along with their two sons James and Ian, are all directors of the company.
