Shannon's Garden Centre

We appreciate we have been very lucky to be able to stay open during this latest lockdown. We have made the difficult decision we feel is necessary for the safety of our team and of our customers that we will temporarily close our store until further notice. Please email any specific enquiries after Monday and we will endeavour to reply as soon as we can. From starting as a landscaping company in 1959 to the opening of the garden centre in 1989 and right up to the present day, Shannons is a part of Forest Hill in south-east London, providing outstanding garden services to the community.

A landscaping company was started in 1959 by Henry Shannon who saw the need for a company that provided good service and good standards of work. It was a hard life in those days as there were no machines to dig, load or move materials around as there are today. No mobile phones either! The company, as others were, was extremely reliant on its workforce and Henry was fortunate to find the best. Not long over from Ireland, he found many of his own relations along with others were best suited to the work as they all had farming backgrounds.
