Plant show success for Klondyke

 

There was a Bridgerton-style elegance to the Klondyke’s annual plant show with visitors invited to step into a world of blooms, beauty and botanical charm.

 

Held within the stunning 18th century Wynyard Hall close to the group’s Strikes Stokesley Garden Centre, over 30 suppliers exhibited at the show.

 

The show, which was attended by the Group’s 22 Plant Managers and Horticultural Buying Team, gave the perfect opportunity to plan and select stock for the 2026 season by bringing them together with many of the best from the UK plant supply chain and gardening suppliers.

 

On the day preceding the show, the Group hosted an interactive masterclass, giving Plant Managers the chance to explore sales, marketing, and customer service challenges in depth, share insights, and discuss strategies for growth.

 

Klondyke’s Plant Buyer Jo Cooke organised the show and commented: “We really appreciate the support of our suppliers, we will continue to work closely with our supply base to introduce new and interesting lines to our ranges.  I would like to thank all our suppliers for the support they have given our business over the last few years, I hope 2026 is a success for everyone."

 

During the show, Allensmore Nurseries, Ivan Ambrose and Westland Horticulture were presented with the Klondyke Group awards for Suppliers of the Year 2025. 

 

Wilmslow Garden Centre was awarded the Groups Plant Team of the Year: with Mortonhall Garden Centre receiving Destination Plant Area of the Year award for 2025; Stringers Garden Centre were winner of the Plant Area of the Year category.
