About Us
Hawkins Home Garden Living Centres are well-known throughout the Australian Nursery Industry for flair, innovation and, most importantly, their customer service. As market leaders in Queensland, the Centres reflect the vision of dynamic businessman, John Hawkins, a pioneer of modern nursery retailing.
Opening for business in 1972, and later moving to eight acres of land at Albany Creek, the original nursery was created around the historic "Day's Cottage" which has pride of place at the entrance to the Albany Creek Centre.
Expansion of the business led to the opening of an even bigger Hawkins Home Garden Living complex at Chandler in 1987. With easy access from the Gateway Motorway, it is ideally situated to cater for gardeners across Brisbane and south-east Queensland.
At Hawkins Home Garden Living, you can select from plants and gardening products of the highest standard. You can also enjoy the delights of decorator emporiums, florist, pot shops, garden artistry, water features, outdoor furniture, pool displays, an art gallery and aquarium. When visiting, you can take time out to relax with family and friends at the Gardener¹s Cafes while enjoying the display gardens.
With more than 40 qualified and experienced staff, the retail centres offer every item needed by the would-be gardener or the serious horticulturalist.
Hawkins Home Garden Living has a commitment to maintaining the highest standards of horticultural practice, and this commitment to excellence extends to the complete satisfaction guarantee that covers every seedling, shrub and tree you purchase. Every plant is guaranteed to grow happy, healthy and strong ... every time.
You are always welcome at Hawkins to wander through the garden centres and collect ideas for your own home. Open seven days a week from 8.30am to 5pm (except Christmas Day and Good Friday), Hawkins Home Garden Living is truly where beautiful gardens begin.
