Thurrock's right royal bulb display, Van Hage christmas opens, Ruxley build update
Garden centres are gearing up for Christmas trading with creative displays and building work on schedule to maximise Christmas sales opportunities...
Thurrock: There’s a right royal welcome at Thurrock Garden Centre with the ‘royal family’ modelling items from the clothing department as customers enter the centre. They’ve even got the queen to help with their Queen of Night bulb merchandising. It’s certainly no wonder that their Taylors Bulbs and Garden Radio bestsellers charts are riding high.
Van Hage: The Greatest Jubilee Doorstep Display winning team at Van Hage Great Amwell have completed their Christmas displays and opened them this week. An eye catching Playmobil display is part of their Christmas toy department.
Ruxley Manor: While Christmas is built in the existing shop area at Ruxley there is a hive of construction activity at the rear of the site for their new 600-cover restaurant which opens in three weeks time. Included in the development is a food hall and an extra 300 car parking spaces that will start in the new year.
We want to hear from more garden centres about your Christmas displays and how they are selling. Send details and pictures to trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk. See next weeks GTN Bestselers for the first GTN Bestsellers Christmas chart of the season. To subscribe click here.
