With over two decades of deep-rooted passion, we at Maidstone Tree Farm & Garden Centre are proud to be one of the largest suppliers in the region, nurturing dreams of gardeners, landscape enthusiasts, and tree lovers alike.
Our farm is home to a magnificent selection of large caliper trees growing in the back acres of our property. Large caliper trees are mature trees with a larger trunk diameter of a certain size – typically too large to have for sale at the garden centre, and are perfect for those who wish to invest in a significant, eye-catching addition to their garden or landscape, offering immediate structure, shade, and aesthetic appeal.
Our tree farm is also an abundant treasury of shrubs of all shapes and sizes, ready to add dimension, texture, and colour to your garden. It is our firm belief that every great garden begins with great choices, and that is exactly what we offer at Maidstone.
We encourage you to take a walk down our rows of trees and check out the back of the tree farm!
