Poppies of Oban and Trentham Blue Diamond were joint gold winners in The Greatest Garden Centre Coffee Team category. Silver went to Fron Goch (pictured receiving their award).

The judges felt two Golds should be awarded in this category one for a large centre one for a small centre – the large centre award goes to Trentham Blue Diamond who always have 4 different coffee blends available to meet customer choice.  And the small centre award goes to a Scottish centre who's coffee is so great customers travel miles and miles to come in for a coffee that tastes wonderful and they do some amazing latte art too at Poppies in Oban.
