FREE Gift and Garden Centre welcome to Once upon a time (1984 to be precise) in the Buchan village of Mintlaw, 1 mile from Aden Country Park and less than 1/2 hours drive from Aberdeen, a seed was planted named The Happy Plant Garden Centre. Over the years it has grown to become a flourishing business renowned for its quality products and service. Life began as a little wooden shed in a ‘boggy howe,’ but 35 years on it is one of the largest gift and garden centres in the north east of Scotland and has achieved a four-star rating from the Scottish Tourist Board. The site now covers approximately four acres, including a large car park and has over 60 friendly and helpful employees on the payroll, many of them long-term members of staff who have ‘grown up’ with the business. To accommodate the large number of customers, we have ample parking for cars and coaches, as well as disabled parking spaces close to the gift and garden centre entrance. The business has been set up to offer the garden enthusiast everything they could possibly desire from plants to compost, fertilisers to garden furniture, garden lighting to outdoor ornaments.
