Managing director Alan Roper confirmed to GTN Xtra today that the company were in the process of buying Harlow, a freehold acquisition of 15 acres, and were hopeful that the deal would be completed by the end of April.
Blue Diamond see huge potential in Harlow Garden Centre and once contracts have been signed the group intend to redevelop it into a key North London destination garden centre.
Harlow Garden Centre in Canes Lane (A414), Hastingwood, near Harlow, is currently a family-run independent centre, which began on this site in 1976, although the family has been involved in horticulture and market gardening since the 1930s.
The business originally started as a nursery, growing bedding plants and roses, supplying the London flower markets, as well as other garden centres and nurseries in East Anglia.
It has developed over the years into a quality garden centre offering a very wide range of plants with over 1,000 varieties of trees and shrubs, and over 1,000 varieties of herbaceous and alpine plants, along with all the sundries and products that you would expect to see at a leading garden centre.
