Zoe Sutcliffe, centre manager at Harrogate Garden Centre, said: "Christmas at British Garden Centres is about so much more than decorations; it’s about bringing people together and making the season the best experience for everyone.
"Alongside our expanded Fern Christmas range and a fantastic selection of gifts for all ages, you will find the perfect present, find inspiration for your home, or make memories; there’s something special for everyone."

British Garden Centres is the largest family-owned garden centre group in the UK, operating 80 centres nationwide.
The group is owned by the Stubbs family, who also own Woodthorpe Leisure Park in Lincolnshire.
The business began in 1990 with the opening of Woodthorpe Garden Centre by brothers Charles and Robert Stubbs.
It has expanded rapidly since 2018, growing through the acquisition of additional garden centres.
British Garden Centres now spans locations from Carmarthen to Ramsgate, Wimborne to East Durham.
The group employs more than 3,500 people across its garden centres, restaurants, growing nurseries, distribution centres, leisure park, and Woody’s Restaurant & Bar.
The Christmas launch is part of this year’s campaign, themed Where Magic Begins.
Visitors are encouraged to share their festive experiences on social media using the hashtag #MagicBegins.
