They Loved the Plot all the way to a Gold Award at Barton Grange

A brand new category was judges and presented as part of GTN's The Greatest Awards ON TOUR 2015: The Greatest Inspiration to New Gardeners Team otherewise known as The Love the Plot You’ve Got Award that acknowledges and rewards the excellent execution in centres picking up on the GIMB's campaign this year.

At Barton Grange their implementaion was really special and resulted in increased sales of hundreds of products using a simple product numbering system in brilliant displays all around the centre.

The silver winners from St Peters in Worcester and the Bronze winners from Garden Wise in Dumfries also made the most of the campaign with displays and merchandise promotions around the whole centre.

Sadly due to a mix of illness, setting up for Christmas and the Westland golf tournament in Portugal none of our Love the Plot You’ve Got award winners were present at HTA Futures so Ian Boardman – whose training session inspired much of the retail activity and Chris Collins collected the award on their behalf.
