Christmas displays return to The Gardens Group, with sustainability at the heart of the festivities

 

A frosty Christmas walk, a gingerbread house, an enchanted forest and a peaceful Christmas are just some of the heartwarming themes featured in The Gardens Group’s new Christmas displays, which are all now open to the public seven days a week until Christmas Eve. 

 

Featuring more eco-friendly initiatives and products than ever before, these magical winter wonderlands are the perfect setting for anyone dreaming of a greener Christmas.  

 

Staged at Brimsmore Gardens in Yeovil, Castle Gardens in Sherborne and Poundbury Gardens near Dorchester, the elaborately decorated walkways have been constructed using repurposed and recycled materials, and are brimming with glass baubles, twinkly LED lights, recycled candles and plastic free toys.

 

Many of the decorations and sustainable gifts have been sourced from small scale makers and fair-trade businesses, with the hope that they last a lifetime and are passed down through families. 

 

In the planning since January and consciously constructed behind closed doors by The Gardens Group’s dedicated team over the past few weeks, the Christmas displays return following another award-winning year in 2022, when Brimsmore Gardens’ scooped first prize in the Garden Centre Association’s national Christmas Competition. Having now won this coveted award 11 times, The Gardens Group remains committed to delivering an immersive and special experience for visitors, while making their Christmas celebrations more eco-friendly each and every year.
