Russells Garden Centre does not open on Sundays
Our garden centre is one of only a few remaining family owned and run centres in the South.
Over the last 12 years with the help of our children and loyal staff we have transformed Russells into the leading local garden centre it is today, with our restaurant at the forefront of daytime dining.
Between them our staff have 32 children, and 6 grandchildren, we appreciate the difficulties of working on Sundays, with childcare impossible to find, this is dedicated to them!
Traditionally Sundays have been for families, friends old and new, for walks on the beach, picnics, country shows, we all need one day to escape.... Having won awards for our ethical and sustainable business initiatives we feel the next step is to achieve a work/life balance for ourselves and our staff - by closing on Sundays!
Sunday has always been our busiest day - our accountants said we were mad to close but we feel that quality of life is priceless!
Please support us Monday to Saturday but ?

"KEEP SUNDAY SPECIAL is something we also do. We have a small family run business also in Wittering and do not open on Sundays. Well done for not doing something that most small business are forced into doing at the loss of valuable family time."

"We love coming to Russells all year round but at Christmas time its something else! Simply magical and sure to inject us with that special festive feeling. The food is outstanding - how such simple food can be made to taste so delicious is beyond us. Well done to you all."

"Your cakes are second to none locally and we enjoy the fresh sandwiches and chunky bread too! Our family loves to wander around the furniture and usually end up buying an item or two. Thank you for giving us locals somewhere to enjoy so much. The Jack Family"

"Courage of your convictions - the best way to describe your decision to close on a Sunday. Good luck and we wish more companies would follow. It will not affect our continued support of your superb garden centre one iota."
