Cultivation Street Ambassadors can win new business for Garden Centres



Writer and broadcaster David Domoney made a passionate appeal to garden centres to appoint ambassadors to promote community gardening through his Cultivation Street initiative, now in its fourth year.

The Garden Centre Ambassador Scheme is designed to nurture stronger and more supportive relationships that will help to give novice gafrdeners the confidence to seek help and advice from their local garden centres. Domoney said many less knowledgable consumers were scared to visit garden centres in case they made fools of themselves.

He urged centres nominate a member of staff to be their community ambassador, as the point of contact, to build a dialogue with the community.
