 In Scotland, Gouldings Garden Centre opened their Christmas Shop yesterday. In the East of England Baytree Garden Centre started selling artifical trees already as their Christmas Displays were completed.
In the South, Notcutts Garden Pride is open for Christmas as it is the model store for the groups Christmas Themes for 2016. And in the South West, The Gardens Group have announced their grand Christmas Opening Evenings: Poundbury Gardens, Dorchester - Tuesday 4 October, Brimsmore Gardens, Yeovil - Tuesday 11 October, Castle Gardens, Sherborne - Wednesday 19 October.
Award winning Grottos at Brookside Garden Centre and Ruxley Manor already have "Sold Out" notices on their on-line booking sites. Simon Shead of Brookside Garden Centre told GTN Xtra; "our booking site crashed three times when tickets went on sale at the end of August and within hours the days close to Christmas Eve had sold out. We now looking at adding extra days to cope with demand."
As this issue of GTN Xtra goes to press, every single session at Brookside is sold out and at Ruxley Manor most days in December are sold out too.
Nominations are now open for GTN's Greatest Christmas Awards 2016. if you think your team are The Greatest, send an e-mail telling us why to: trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk
