The Greatest Plant Retailing Teams are at Scotsdales, Cowells and The Old Railway Line



The Old Railway Line, Scotsdales and Cowells were Gold Award Plant Sales Team winners in The Greatest Plant Retailing Awards presented at The HTA National Plant Show yesterday.

The Greatest Plant Retailing Awards are all about teams of people, for planteria teams that excel in garden centres.  Yesterday during The HTA National Plant Show at Stoneleigh Carol Paris and Trevor Pfeiffer announced the the results of The Greatest Plant Retailing Awards following expert judging visits to 40 nominated planteria teams across the country.

Awards organiser Trevor Pfeiffer said "from the many teams we met on our judging journeys it is clear that garden centre plant retailing standards are being pushed higher and higher – with teamwork and the drive for excellent customer service giving our customers some of the best plant buying experiences in the UK.  Garden Centre plant retailing is simply GREAT!"
