About Clay's Garden Centre
Clay's Garden Centre is a family business that has traded since 1949 and now sits on Peel Retail Park in Washington. It sells plants, shrubs and garden supplies through the year, and has a coffee shop on site and parking for customers. Normal opening is Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5.15pm and Sunday from 9.30am to 3.45pm.
From November the centre turns over part of its floor to Christmas. For 2026 it is selling a range of real and artificial Christmas trees, along with decorations and festive trimmings, so customers can choose a tree in person. The centre closes from 24 December and reopens on 2 January, so it is worth buying a tree and any last decorations before Christmas Eve.
