At Vanstone Park Garden Centre, we view gardens as more than just green space; they’re places to relax, connect with nature, and reflect personal values.

Since opening in 1976, we’ve supported gardeners of all experience levels in creating welcoming, practical outdoor spaces that work for them.

As part of that, we’ve always chosen outdoor furniture that combines comfort, function, and thoughtful design. With that in mind, we’re pleased to introduce the Nassau Range, a collection that places environmental responsibility at its core, without compromising on usability or style. Built using recycled materials and designed for long-term outdoor use, it offers a straightforward way to bring sustainability into your garden setup.

Why Sustainability Belongs in Every Garden

As gardeners, we naturally care about the environment. We compost, collect rainwater, grow pollinator-friendly plants, and think twice before using chemicals. So why wouldn’t we take that same care when choosing our outdoor furniture?

Sustainable garden furniture helps us reduce plastic waste, conserve natural resources, and support ethical manufacturing. However, crucially, it also demonstrates that we don’t have to sacrifice comfort or aesthetics to achieve this. The Nassau Range demonstrates that furniture can be both responsibly made and beautifully crafted, a combination worth celebrating.

The Nassau Outdoor Furniture Collection

Bold Design, Gentle Impact

The Nassau Range is a feast for the eyes and a friend to the environment. Made using two carefully considered materials, DuraOcean and Social Plastic, this collection is ideal for those who want their garden furniture to reflect both sound design and responsible values. It’s furniture with purpose, thoughtfully crafted to tell a story beyond the garden.

The Nassau Coffee Set

The set includes ergonomically shaped chair buckets made from Social Plastic®, a recycled material sourced through community collection programmes. These programmes pay local collectors a fair rate for plastic waste, supporting access to essentials like food, housing, and education.

The set’s legs are made from sustainably sourced eucalyptus wood and finished with a durable two-step coating for outdoor resilience. The table is built from powder-coated aluminium sheet, making it lightweight and resistant to rust.

If you’re after low-maintenance seating with a clear sustainability benefit, this set delivers.

The Nassau DuraOcean® Chair

The DuraOcean® chair is the world’s first commercially available chair made entirely from recycled ocean-bound plastic ropes. Designed to help tackle marine plastic pollution, it repurposes waste material into a durable and functional garden piece.

Built with recyclability in mind, the chair can be fully disassembled at the end of its lifespan and recycled again, reducing waste and closing the loop. It’s strong, weather-resistant, and well-suited to outdoor use throughout the seasons.

Due to the nature of the recycled materials, each chair carries its unique colour and texture, making every piece subtly individual, much like the gardens it complements.

More Than Nassau Garden Furniture

While the Nassau range is our most forward-thinking in terms of sustainability, our outdoor furniture selection encompasses a diverse range of premium options, each suited to different garden sizes and styles.

Urbanite Dark

Do you prefer your garden furniture to be sleek, structured, and sophisticated? The Urbanite Dark range is all about bold design. It pairs re-engineered aluminium frames with broad DuraBoard planks for a clean, modern look that’s surprisingly lightweight.

Don’t let the sharp edges fool you; it’s very comfortable. Ideal for stylish al fresco dining with friends or simply enjoying the garden you’ve worked so hard to cultivate.

LeisureGrow

LeisureGrow is the go-to brand for adaptable and reliable outdoor furniture. Whether you need a compact bistro set for a small terrace or a full dining suite for hosting summer feasts, LeisureGrow offers thoughtful design paired with easy-care materials.

They also offer a range of parasols, loungers, swing seats, and benches, all built to handle real British weather and real British gardens (and perhaps the occasional muddy dog or errant football).

Why Choose Vanstone Park Garden Centre?

There’s something quite special about buying your garden furniture from people who know gardens. At Vanstone Park, we don’t just stack boxes and hand over receipts. We guide, we advise, and we genuinely care that the furniture you choose suits both your space and your lifestyle.

We’re an independent, family-run centre, and our expert team is always happy to answer questions, demonstrate features, and help you plan your dream garden layout.

Plus, once you’ve browsed the furniture, you can treat yourself to a slice of cake or a hearty lunch at our Greenhouse Café, explore our wildlife lake, or take the little ones on our beloved Woodland Train.

Frequently Asked Questions: Outdoor Furniture & Sustainability

What makes the Nassau outdoor furniture range eco-friendly?

The Nassau range utilises two sustainable materials: DuraOcean, made from recycled marine ropes, and Social Plastic, collected through fair-trade community initiatives. Both help reduce plastic pollution and support global social impact.

How long will the Nassau furniture last outdoors?

With proper care, the Nassau range is designed to last for many years. The materials are weather-resistant, UV-stable, and resistant to general wear and tear, making them ideal for the British climate.

Can I recycle the Nassau furniture in the future?

Yes. The DuraOcean chairs, in particular, are fully recyclable and designed to be disassembled, ensuring they don’t end up in a landfill at the end of their life.

Do I need to take any special care to maintain these pieces?

Not at all. A simple wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap is usually enough. For the wooden legs, a protective wood oil can be applied annually if you prefer to maintain their finish, although they’re coated for low-maintenance.

Does Vanstone Park offer delivery for garden furniture?

We do. Local delivery is available, and we can assist with transportation arrangements if you’re buying larger sets. Speak with a member of our team in-store or call us for more details.
