Garden Centre, Walled Garden Café and Charity Shop at Derwen College

Derwen College’s retail area is open to the public. Our outlets offer a variety of work opportunities for students as part of their learning pathway.

Visit the Garden Centre & Gift Shop, The Vintage Advantage (our charity shop), the Walled Garden, and Walled Garden Café at Derwen College.

The Garden Centre & Gift Shop offers seasonal plants, seeds, gifts, cards and gardening tools. You will find plenty of helpful horticultural advice from staff and students.

Look out for our range of products made on-site by Derwen College students.  The Garden Centre & Gift Shop also stocks a range of products made by local artisan producers.

Derwen-made chutneys, jams, cakes and breads are also available. We have received three Great Taste Awards for our jams and chutneys which are available to purchase individually or as part of a gift hamper.

There is also the Walled Garden to enjoy. Tended by Derwen College students it may give inspiration for your own garden. Plants you see in the Walled Garden can be bought at the Garden Centre.

Enjoy a cup of tea and homemade cake, or lunch, in the Walled Garden Café. Sit inside or enjoy our outdoor seating area.  There is a children’s play area outside too.

The Orangery Restaurant is currently closed but will re-open with a new menu in September.

Pop in to our new charity shop – The Vintage Advantage. The charity shop has a range of pre-loved clothes, accessories, household wares, books and craft items. Stock is updated everyday so there is always opportunity to find a bargain.

Derwen College’s retail area offers a unique shopping experience. At the same time you are supporting students’ training to gain relevant work skills.

Outlets are open daily.
