The Garden Village brand, established in 2009, originated from a background in landscaping and garden design. Our passion for enhancing garden aesthetics led us to create the first wheelie bin storage unit in the UK. Today, we are the leading manufacturer and supplier of wheelie bin and recycle box storage solutions in the UK. The Garden Village takes pride in crafting all our products locally in Lancashire. Our team of skilled craftsmen use only sustainable FSC® certified, pressure-treated timber, known for its durability and natural beauty, ensuring the products blend seamlessly into any garden or driveway. We also have a dedicated customer service and technical support team ready to assist with any queries.
