About Cornwall Garden Shop

We are Goonhavern Garden Centre and Chacewater Garden Centre - two proudly independent, family-owned garden centres run by Liz and Chris Finney.
We have a few simple aims:
- To provide great products at sensible prices
- To give the best service possible and welcome everyone the same
- To eliminate the 'snootiness' and 'snobbery' of many traditional garden centres.
- To ensure everybody leaves our store or website with a smile on their face
Our customers are not just numbers and we like to build relationships and hear how everything is going in your garden. If you would like to chat, just email us on info@goonhaverngardencentre.com, give us a call on 01872 575088 or find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Goonhavern & Chacewater Garden Centre
Our Beginning
We started with a vision: to bring quality garden supplies to Cornwall.
Goonhavern Garden Centre was brought in 2011 and our journey began...
Goonhavern Garden Centre's Expansion
The Goonhavern site expanded its plant capabilities by installing a custom 19-meter twin-span all-weather canopy to protect and showcase our plant range.
Café & Village Setup
Rather than running the café ourselves at Goonhavern, we establish a thriving community site shared with independent partners, including The Bay Tree Restaurant, local landscapers, and a pet shop.
Chacewater Garden Centre
We officially acquired Chacewater Garden Centre, adding a three-acre second site located just seven miles from Goonhavern, allowing us to inherit existing plant nursery stocks and bring on five new staff members (including a dedicated manager for the on-site Cloverleaf Café)
Digital Launch of the Cornwall Garden Shop
To bridge two store storefronts under a singular brand, the digital storefront Cornwall Garden Shop was officially launched online. Just in time for Covid...
Duchy Wide
Our online store serves as a unified digital catalog, offering county-wide delivery ("Duchy wide delivery") for bulk items like landscaping gravel, garden furniture, and seasonal wildlife care
Cloverleaf Café
- 120-Guest Capacity: A brand-new structural extension that significantly expanded the seating area to clear out wait times during peak afternoon hours.
- "The Dog House": A specialized, clearly designated indoor seating zone engineered specifically for guests dining with their dogs, keeping the main restaurant hall animal-free.
- Refreshed Menus: A revamped daytime dining menu focusing on seasonal homemade main dishes, premium coffees, and an integration of vegan and gluten-free choices.
The Places You Know And Love
Today we remain two proud family-owned Garden Centre's bringing high quality garden supplies to Cornwall.
