Sledges at the ready as weather turns wintry
Exclusive GTN Bestsellers Garden Centre Epos data analysis

 

 

As weather forecasts have their first mentions of the possibility of snow this weekend, garden centres will be dusting down their stocks of sledges and rock salt just as GTN’s team of Greatest Christmas judges start their visits to the 57 garden centres nominated in this year’s much requested Greatest Christmas Awards.

 

As GTN’s Greatest Christmas Awards have always been about the great teams of people behind wonderful garden centre Christmas retailing we are really looking forward to meeting you all to hear about your passion, great new ideas, examples of teamwork and to see your creativity and retailing excellence.

 

As the judging visits may not be completed until December 16th, we’re asking teams to take some photos of displays and ideas as they are now in their pomp so they can pass them onto the judges when they call in. We’ll include as many of them as we can in the January issue of GTN.

 

The winners will then be announced on Monday 7th February at 5:00pm on The Stage at Spring Fair.  See you there!
