Colchester centre wins top title in Essex media awards
Blenheim Plant and Garden Centre at Colchester has been named as the local Garden Centre of the Year in Awards run by the Colchester Gazette.
Manager Trevor Hammans said the success was particularly sweet as the centre is celebrating its 30th year.
He said: “We’d like to say a huge thank you to our loyal customers, many of whom have been with us for the past 30 years.
“We are stunned to have beaten some of the larger garden centres in the area, and believe it’s our friendly, knowledgeable staff and the quality of our plants that help us stand out from the competition.
“Our wonderful team of staff, that seem more like family, are all passionate about the business, adore plants and love seeing the garden centre evolve.
“We are celebrating our 30th year this year, and many of our customers will remember those early days when we sold a few home-grown plants from a field at the front of the nursery.”
