Longacres is to be extended by Smiemans Projecten in early 2025. The work includes the garden centre's cold sales area and restaurant.
The wide-span extension will be constructed with high performance polycarbonate and insulating sandwich panels on the roof and insulated glass in the facades.
The cold sales area, which is an essential part of the garden centre, will be enlarged to accommodate a wider range of plants and garden products. This change will not only increase sales opportunities but also improve the visitor experience.
The garden centre restaurant will also be enlarged. This will increase comfort and capacity, allowing visitors to enjoy a spacious and welcoming atmosphere. The revamped restaurant will also offer more options for events and gatherings, adding to the overall appeal of the garden centre as a destination.
Work is expected to be completed before the start of spring, with minimal disruption to the garden centre's day-to-day operations.
Longacres Bagshot is the largest independent garden centre in the South of England and the flagship of Longacres' six branches. This family centre is set on nine acres of land and was founded in 1979 by Peter and Mary Long.
