GTN's Greatest Christmas Awards were revealed during a special breakfast event at Glee at Spring Fair on Tuesday. Gold award winners included Brookside Kent, Ruxley Manor, The Old Railway Line, Kirktown, Silverbirch and Whitehall Lacock.
The awards, sponsored by Gardman, were presented to gold, silver and bronze winners by Kerry Freeman, head of brand for gardening at Gardman.
Awards organiser Trevor Pfeiffer said the standard of entries for the Greatest Christmas Awards keeps improving.
"The judging gets harder and harder," said Trevor. "The judges were looking for that extra special thing that sets a garden centre apart and they certainly found loads of examples during their visits.
"They were searching out that clever link sale that delivered extra customer satisfaction, a spark of a team member who made a real difference, and evidence of where teamwork really added value."
