Nick Seaby, managing director at Swallow Aquatics and Mill Race Garden Centre, has been reported as saying: “After much deliberation, we have made the heartfelt decision to sell the garden centre.
"In 2019, we initially considered selling but chose to hold off due to the unforeseen challenges of COVID-19.
"During this period, we took the opportunity to enhance our facilities, including building a brand new warehouse and relocating and modernising our beloved coffee shop and restaurant.
"These improvements have positioned Mill Race as a thriving hub for garden enthusiasts.
"Having purchased the garden centre in September 2004, this decision was not made lightly.”
