Welcome to Otter Ottery St Mary
Otter Garden Centre in Ottery St Mary was the very first Otter garden centre and was established in 1964 as Otter Nurseries. Easily accessed from the A30, this is the largest of our garden centres and many customers like to enjoy a full day out here, shopping our extensive range of products in all our departments and our renowned plants department. We recommend stopping in our popular coffee shop where you can enjoy delicious home-made food. We support many local community activities including the Ottery St Mary Food Festival.
Disabled Parking
Disabled car parking is now located in our two main car parks. In each of these car parks you will find dedicated disabled parking spaces.
To enter the garden centre without being required to cross the road we recommend disabled customers use our first car park located off Gosford Road (coming from Ottery St Mary, this is the first car park on the left as you enter Gosford Road).
