Stratford Garden Centre takes over former Dobbies site at Warwick Road, Black Hill, Stratford upon Avon
Stratford Garden Centre has announced it has entered into a lease of the garden centre site at Warwick Road, Black Hill, Stratford upon Avon CV37 0QW. The existing team will be retained, following the closure of the site on 23 December 2023.
Commenting on the development, Stratford Garden Centre Managing Director Helen Lloyd said: “It is 20 years since we moved into our site at Clifford Chambers, serving Stratford and the North Cotswold area. As a family-owned garden centre we have built close links with the local community and are looking forward to establishing a similar presence in the north east of Stratford serving customers from South Warwickshire and further afield along the M40 and A46 corridors.
"We have built a strong team of more than 100 staff at Clifford Chambers and are keen to develop the team at our new site at Warwick Road. We are planning substantial improvements to the site at Warwick Road and, after a closure period while this work is carried out, we plan on a grand re-opening in March.”
Stratford Garden Centre is a trading name of Whitacre Garden Centre Limited.
Its great to see many of these garden centres being returned to independent ownership.Many viable garden centres have declined significantly under the ownership of the big groups.
