Johnsons of Boston Food Hall open today despite major fire in garden centre yesterday
Despite a major fire at Johnsons of Boston garden centre yesterday it is business as usual for essential food shopping.
Emergency services were called to Johnson's Garden Centre on the A52 Wainfleet Road near Boston on Sunday morning after a blaze broke out at the back of the property.
The garden centre has re-assured customers via their Facebook page that: "although the fire was serious, it has not affected or damaged the food hall, or the Garden Centre stock. Of course the Garden Centre and restaurant remain closed due to the measures in place to fight Corvid-19, but the plants are being looked after and the rest of the stock is intact.

No-one was injured and staff at the pet shop based at the centre managed to get all of the animals out unharmed.
