Our Story

Plants, People, Possibilities 

Naggy Burn Garden Centre is much more than Larne’s local garden centre, we’re a charity. As part of the AEL (Access Employment Limited) Social Enterprise, we’re proud to reinvest 100% of our profits into supporting our amazing trainees.

We provide young people and adults with additional needs, learning disabilities and physical support needs the chance to learn, gain valuable work experience and develop skills in a welcoming, supportive environment. Every plant you buy, each pot, every bag of compost, or even a tiny packet of seeds helps us create opportunities for our trainees to grow, thrive and flourish.

We grow plants, nurture people and help possibilities blossom. That’s the Naggy Burn difference.

Since opening in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve had wonderful support from our local community and have continued to grow from strength to strength.

Did you know?

We grow our own bedding plants, shrubs and perennials offering wholesale supplies at competitive prices.

Every purchase plants the seed of opportunity.  Together, we help make plants grow and people flourish!
