Essex garden centre to close after 50 years in business



An Essex garden centre is closing after more than 50 years due to competition from supermarkets and online retailers.

Planthome Garden Centre in Woodham Road, near South Woodham Ferrers, has customers from across the Maldon and Burnham area.

Gill Blakesley and daughter Tara Eklund have owned the business for seven-and-a-half years but there has been a garden centre on the site for more than 50.

All stock is currently on sale before it shuts on October 27.
