Profile
A Long Story
Founded in late November 1946 the Henleaze Garden Shop has occupied its address at 146 Henleaze Road for over 60 years.It has been and still is a Family Business which now has at its call over 200 years of gardening experience (if you add up the time served by those who work there).
The Early Years
The first winter was bad, you must have seen old films showing snow 10 foot tall,it did happen. I have been told stories of how my father Ernest (or John) Stenner would sit infront of a coal fire with the shop cat on his knee with nothing to sell and no customers to sell too.Times change however and over the next few years he married Vera and they moved from the original 'Married Quarters', above the shop to a new house.
The Middle Ages
The 1960's and 1970's brought to expansion of the business with the move into the business premesis next door, a former sweet shop,little changed within the shop except for the use of candles for light during the miners strike and decimalisation.
