British Garden Centres is changing the name of Timmermans Garden Centre to Woodborough Green Garden Centre, following its acquisition of the business two weeks ago.

It was announced at the time of the acquisition on February 14 that the centre would be called Epperstone Garden Centre but the now the BGC group has decided on a different name. 

Boyd J Douglas-Davies, PR & Communications Director at British Garden Centres, explained: “Having had the opportunity to spend the last week with the wonderful team and customers at Timmermans, the 59th garden centre to join the British Garden Centres family, we have recognised the strong and long association the centre has with the village of Woodborough, Nottinghamshire. Therefore, when we relaunch the centre it will be as Woodborough Green Garden Centre. 

“Woodborough, as a continuation of the history and links to the local area - the centre was officially Timmermans of Woodborough. Green, because our passion for plants, gardens and all things green will be evident in everything we do in the years to come. 

“We loved the name Epperstone but appreciate the feedback we have had that has brought us to this decision. We look forward to looking after everyone from the surrounding villages and beyond."

Timmermans Garden Centre has developed over the last 30 years in to one of the leading garden centres in Nottinghamshire. In recent years Sophie & Greg Timmermans-Delves have invested in the centre and restaurant. Following an extensive refurbishment programme in 2011 the team went on to be named 2016 Garden Centre of the Year at the Garden Retail and Garden Industry Awards.

Woodborough Green Garden Centre is on the north-east side of Nottingham. Well situated between Nottingham & Newark to serve the area. The 8½ acre site has long been known as an horticultural hotspot having been home to Timmermans Roses for many years – a business dating back to the 1880s.
