Our Story

A story of transformation

Beryl Henderson was a passionate gardener living in North London, who had a vision for a new kind of garden centre. She wanted to create a transformative space that would redefine the urban gardening experience: a centre featuring quality plants from specialist English growers, and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Following the creation of her first garden centre at N1, Beryl was widely recognised as an inspirational force within the industry. In 2011 she went on to create W6, where it quickly established itself as an outstanding garden centre, recently winning a Chelsea Flower Show Gold Award in 2021.

Sadly, Beryl passed away on 1 January 2025. However, her family and Louise Alhadeff at W6 continue her legacy. By connecting with the urban gardening movement, W6 continues to attract innovative suppliers within horticulture, design, and home accessories, making gardening accessible and inspirational to experts and beginners alike.
