Family-owned Haddenham Garden Centre, in Stanbridge Road, Haddenham, will recruit an extra 17 staff with the long-awaited expansion.

The project has been made possible after the centre secured a £180,000 grant from the LEADER Programme, which is aimed at small, rural businesses.

It will enable the centre’s coffee shop and farm shop to be extended creating 17 jobs over three years.

Director Ben Hawkins said: “Expanding our coffee shop and farm shop will help us meet local demand, create higher quality amenities for the local area with an emphasis on quality local food, and in turn create many jobs for the rapidly growing local rural population.”
