As the country wrapped up against the snow and freezing conditions over the weekend of Garden Re-Leaf and Mother's Day, garden centres throughout the land were encouraged by an increase in buying activity in their stores.
Lincolnshire’s newest garden centre is set to open its doors later this month with the creation of six new full-time jobs and 34 part-time posts.
The Willows at Glentham is a purpose built new garden centre with a cafe and delicatessen, which opens its doors for the first time on Saturday, March 23.
The first 250 visitors will receive a free potted Narcissus, and at the opening there will be a special celebrity guest appearing in the children’s play area.
Owner David Nelstrop said: ‘We want to offer tasty food featuring locally sourced ingredients wherever possible’ and a sneak preview of the menu sounds promising with dishes like Mountain’s Boston Sausages and Mash and Knickerbocker Glory made with Willingham Fayre ice cream.
“The same ethos is embraced in the delicatessen where visitors can choose from lots of great Lincolnshire favourites like Lincolnshire Poacher and Cote Hill Cheese, Pipers Crisps, Tom Wood Ales, along with Lincolnshire sausages brought in especially from the Boston Sausage Co and local free range eggs.”
