Plymouth Garden Centre to launch Proven Winners plants
Plymouth Garden Centre will be kicking off summer gardening with a celebration weekend on May 18-19 to launch the Proven Winners brand of plants.
Proven Winners plants are produced in the UK by Kernock Park Plants in Cornwall and the brand is being released to the UK consumer this year.
It's a global brand that prides itself on bringing high quality plants to the UK and giving consumers bright ideas for the garden. Kernock have been working closely with Plymouth Garden Centre since October 2012 to introduce the brand to the UK garden centre.
Fiona Newton, Manager of Plymouth Garden Centre, was keen to get involved.
"This is an exciting opportunity to be the first garden centre in the country see the introduction of the brand, and to help take planting recipes and innovative varieties on a step further, keeping customers interested, and helping them to create beautiful displays at home," said Fiona.
Bruce Harnett, MD of Kernock Park Plants, said: "It was important that we worked with a local business, as we want to support our local economy, as well as bring value to the horticultural industry."
The weekend will include hanging basket and container planting demonstrations by expert Kevin Waters.
Visitors to the garden centre will also be able to take home planting recipe cards and enter a competition to win a selection of plants, all organised by Proven Winners for Plymouth Garden Centre.
The plants on sale will be a selection of the Summer Livin' Collection which can be found online at www.provenwinners.co.uk
