30 years of proud
family ownership
In 1959, Herbert Plumbly bought Hollies Farm, located on the outskirts of the historic market town of Ashbourne, which is where Fairways now sits. On his retirement in 1978, his son Pip moved to the farm with his young family.
Pip ran a successful civil engineering firm, Midroads, from the farm and in 1981 opened a PYO fruit farm on the fields that surround Fairways. Looking to make better use of the farm buildings and land, his initial idea of a garden centre eventually came to fruition on February 28th 1998, with the opening of Fairways. The garden centre comprised of one glasshouse and a small plant area and was managed by eldest daughter, Ally, ably supported by Mum, Chris.
Fairways grew significantly through its early years and in 2005, Ally’s brother Charlie joined the business to help Pip carry out most of the building work. In 2008, the former Macclesfield Garden Centre was purchased and completely redeveloped by Pip and Charlie.
Further developments at Ashbourne included restaurant and plant area extensions. In January 2017 Fairways was awarded ‘Garden Centre of the Year’ by the Garden Centre Association. On February 28th 2019, Fairways celebrated its 21st Birthday and in September opened its wonderful new shop, Fairways Home.
