We have been a member of the Garden Centre Association since 2019. The GCA asks its members to meet the highest retail standards and to participate in an annual inspection process. GCA members, large and small, set the benchmark for high retailing standards within the industry which others can aspire to. The GCA represents the leading garden centres within the UK and worldwide as part of its membership of the International Garden Centre Association (IGCA).
In 2021 we were delighted to have been awarded the ‘Dick Allen Award’ for the most improved Garden Centre in the North West. We were also awarded a Highly Commended certificate for an outstanding overall score.
In 2022 and 2023 we were given further Highly Commended awards and were praised for being a super centre with spirit, atmosphere and a friendly vibe. Also, for being a family-owned business with staff who genuinely care for our customers.
