Sherries Estates

Sherries Estates is a long established garden centre in Malta. It sits on the main road in Burmarrad, spread over about 8,000 square metres of land that was once largely used for the seasonal production of plants, flowers and vegetables. Today it stocks more than 5,000 products for the garden, pets and home, The main shop has been refurbished and expanded, and the aim is a complete shopping trip for garden and home lovers, so one visit can cover a houseplant, a bag of compost, a dog bed and a candle.

On VisitMalta.co.uk the business is listed among our garden centres in Malta. It is a practical stop for anyone who has bought a home or villa on the islands and wants to make it feel settled.

Plants, trees and gardening supplies

Indoor plants include flowering varieties such as orchids, anthurium and kalanchoe, green plants such as monstera, ficus and ferns, and air purifying, pet friendly and low light choices. Garden plants cover hardy outdoor varieties for Maltese gardens, including palms, shrubs, climbers, grasses, drought tolerant and full sun types. There are fruit trees, citrus, herbs and vegetable seedlings, and a large selection of cacti and succulents in sizes from miniature to showpiece.

Supplies include clay and plastic pots, cover pots, tools, seeds, irrigation kits and garden furniture. The newsroom publishes seasonal advice, such as autumn flower bulbs and how often to water houseplants. Fruit trees, vegetable seedlings and herbs can be grown for cooking and as a natural insect deterrent. Our Malta weather guide shows how the island's climate affects the garden through the year.

Pet Zone and home departments

The Pet Zone supplies dogs, cats, rodents, birds and fish with food, snacks, accessories, habitats, toys and grooming tools, including brands such as Lily's Kitchen and Beeztees. The home area sells accessories, unique pieces and stylish furniture, artificial plants, scented candles and diffusers, rugs and mats.

Wallpaper is a speciality, with stock from the Turkish brand AdaWall, and a set of last chance rolls is marked down. Job openings are listed for garden centre assistants, drivers, sales consultants and landscaping technicians, which shows an active, growing team. Garden furniture ranges from small bistro sets to barbecues, and many pieces can be seen online before you visit.

Landscaping and sustainability

The landscaping team works with urban gardens and outdoor spaces for homes and businesses. Services include landscape design, plant selection, irrigation installation, garden maintenance and turf installation in artificial or live grass, and high resolution renders let you picture the finished garden.

The garden centre also invested in solar panels so that its own electricity needs are met, and has a rainwater reservoir that holds 2.5 million litres. Another project added south facing roof panels, planned to produce at least 15 million units of electricity a year to be sold to the grid. Wholesale prices are offered to eligible businesses on locally grown plants and imported products.
