Gloucestershire’s leading independent Garden Centre, Highfield Garden World is being purchased by Blue Diamond.

Blue Diamond CEO Alan Roper told GTN Xtra that he contacted Joan Greenaway and her son Tim Greenaway in April, as although the centre was not on the market it was one he always thought would be an ideal Blue Diamond centre.  "As a result of that meeting we have been able to swiftly agree terms and after informing the staff last week we are looking forward to taking over ownership on July 1st."

"We are buying the site outright. It is a great space with covered planteria.  Our team are already working on plans for the refurbishment of the restaurant and garden centre in due course."
