The ninth Love Your Plot Masterclass for garden centre teams saw delegates basking in the seasonal weather. They travelled from all over Scotland to discuss how to use the Love Your Plot principles in autumn and Christmas seasons to help the 30-45s use their space – however compact - in a fun way.

Things stirred in the glorious autumn sunshine at Glendoick Garden Centre.  What a superb location for a training day! Fantastic location, steeped in history and such friendly, welcoming staff.

Ian Boardman, who facilitated the day, said: “They really got stuck in. They looked at merchandising through customers’ eyes and explored how to inspire with plants and dry goods. They were impressed with the effects of effective POS signs and devised some great ones to use in the displays they built.”

Comments from those attending included “I enjoyed the workshop and left feeling we could improve our nursery with lots of ideas.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Rekindling old ideas, learning new concepts and how to implement them.”

“The displays we built were great. It showed what each person had taken in and what points they thought were important.”
