Mayfield Garden Centre

Mayfield Garden Centre is a dog-friendly garden centre in Kelso, part of the Klondyke group, welcoming dogs inside the main retail areas. Browse plants, outdoor living, gifts and homewares with your dog at your side – a practical Borders day-trip for anyone who refuses to choose between the nursery run and keeping the dog close.

The restaurant is open to service and assistance dogs only, but there's outdoor seating where all dogs are welcome. The garden centre itself is fully accessible with your dog, so you can tackle the spring bedding, patio furniture and impulse houseplant decisions together without the logistics headache of leaving anyone in the car.

Around 20 miles from Berwick upon Tweed, Mayfield makes a useful add-on to a wider Borders tour. Free parking takes the sting out of the journey and the centre's broad retail mix means you can justify the visit whether you need compost, a gift or just an excuse to get out with the dog.
