Work is set to start on the first phase of a destination garden centre, restaurant and display gardens at Probus near Truro in Cornwall this spring.

Trelawney Garden Leisure owners, Danning & Symons Ltd., which already runs the award-winning Trelawney@Wadebridge in Cornwall and Trelawney@Ashford in North Devon, will start work on the 11-acre site in March.

Director, David Danning explained: “We’re delighted to be getting the project finally underway and  aim  to have it  open in the autumn. The garden centre at Probus is an amazing project and we’re very excited about it.”

The site is anticipated to create 80 full and part-time jobs and will have a major impact on the area’s economy.

David continued: “Trelawney@Probus will be a gardening-related leisure destination and a centre of excellence for Cornwall. With the development of demonstration gardens it will offer the visitor so much more to see and do than a traditional garden centre might. It will attract people from all over the UK.”

The environment has been given a great deal of thought and the site will use the latest technology to manage internal conditions in the buildings.

The impact of the buildings has been reduced by nestling the site into the hillside working with the gradient.
