Come along early as there will be drinks and snacks available for our celebration of all that’s great about garden centre retailing.

 

Our team of judges had a truly wonderful time visiting all of the 100 garden centres nominated in this year's awards and have been overwhelmed by the excellence of garden centre retail teamwork once again, despite continuing difficult circumstances.  We look forward to celebrating that excellence with as many garden centre teams as possible on Monday evening.
