Further Autumn/Christmas Love The Plot You’ve Got Masterclasses


After the success of the Love The Plot You’ve Got Masterclasses that led to inspirational merchandising displays like this one at St Peters in the summer, more sessions have been arranged for this Autumn.

Last week a great day was had by all recently at Aylett’s, St Albans, at the Love The Plot You’ve Got Masterclasses. Delegates explored ideas for using the GIMB ‘Love The Plot You’ve Got’ message in the garden centre on the lead up to Christmas. The principles work just as well indoors as out – helping customers make the most of their space for relaxing and entertaining.
 
One of the excellent displays built during the day was a black and white themed display – built in just half an hour – using soothing plants for a conservatory setting.
 
Ian Boardman, who facilitated the day, said: “It was all about giving garden centre teams ideas to try back at their centres. There was so much enthusiasm in the room – I had to hold them back rather than spur them on! We even had delegates over from Ireland – they flew in especially for the Masterclass.”
 
Comments from delegates included:
“Very inspiring, motivating and informative”
“In depth, lots of ideas and suggestions”
“Facts that you can act on”
“A brilliant course”
 
Further Autumn/Christmas Love The Plot You’ve Got Masterclasses are being held at:
  • Glendoick, Scotland, Thursday 1st October
  • St Peters, Worcester, Tuesday 6th October
  • Coletta and Tyson, Beverley, Wednesday 7th October
