Grantham Garden Centre opens its doors with ribbon cutting by Adam Frost

 

Grantham Garden Centre officially opened on Good Friday (3rd April), marking an exciting new chapter for the site following its transformation by British Garden Centres.

 

The opening was celebrated with a ribbon‑cutting ceremony led by celebrity gardener and BBC Gardeners’ World presenter Adam Frost, who officially opened the centre at 9am before meeting visitors and sharing gardening advice during the morning.

 

Located at Gonerby Moor, Grantham (NG32 2AB), the garden centre has undergone significant investment since joining the British Garden Centres family earlier this year. The refreshed site now offers an expanded range of plants, gardening essentials, homeware and outdoor living products, alongside a revitalised shopping experience designed to inspire gardeners of all levels. 

 

To mark the opening, the first 100 customers through the doors received complimentary goody bags. Visitors across the opening weekend can enjoy special opening celebration offers, including Levington Tomorite at £3 per bottle and Erins Compost 3 for £12. The British Garden Centres team were on hand throughout the day to welcome customers and introduce them to the group’s free Family Card loyalty scheme.

 

A key highlight of the transformation is the newly refreshed restaurant, featuring a redesigned menu and a brand‑new 7 days a week carvery, making Grantham Garden Centre a welcoming destination for a full day out with family and friends.

 

Natalie Skins, Centre Manager at Grantham Garden Centre, said: “It has been fantastic to finally open our doors and welcome the Grantham community into the centre. This garden centre has always been a valued local destination, and seeing customers enjoy the new look, the store and the restaurant today has been incredibly rewarding for the whole team.”

 

Amy Stubbs, Managing Director of British Garden Centres, added: “A massive thank you to the amazing team who has been part of the Grantham Garden Centre transformation. We are delighted to see it open and thriving. We look forward to becoming a long‑term part of the local community and supporting gardeners throughout the seasons.”

 

Grantham Garden Centre is now open and welcoming customers daily.
