Pleasant View Garden Centre sits on Plough Wents Road in Chart Sutton, a village in the Maidstone borough, and traces back to 1970, when it started as a small gardening shop and plant nursery. The founding family still runs the site, which has grown to include a nursery selling bedding plants, shrubs and trees alongside a general garden centre stocking pots, tools and outdoor furniture. Additional units on the same site include The Burrow tea room and kitchen, Chart Sutton Antiques Centre, and Birchalls, a shop selling equestrian and pet supplies. The centre opens seven days a week, including most bank holidays, though hours vary on those dates and it advises calling ahead to check. It functions as a single family-run site rather than a chain, distinct from the national garden centre groups operating elsewhere in Kent, and also takes orders through its own online shop for delivery or collection.
