Yesterday (Thursday, July 27) we unveiled our winners
for the North Thames region during a presentation at Ayletts Nurseries in
Hertfordshire.
Perrywood Garden Centre picked up the award for Garden
Centre of the Year in the Destination Garden Centre (DGC) category while
Sunshine Garden Centre picked up the accolade in the Garden Centre (GC)
category.
Our North Thames regional awards made for a very
enjoyable evening for all in attendance and it was great to see the garden
centre teams be rewarded for all of the hard work they have put in this year.
Ayletts Nurseries was the perfect host for the evening
and Inspector Gordon Emslie’s findings, which he presented on the night, were
extremely interesting.
The ifse Award for Catering Excellence for Best Garden
Centre Restaurant went to Poplars Garden Centre (DGC) and Thurrock Garden
Centre (GC).
The Dick Allen Award for Most Improved Centre was
awarded to Marlows Home & Garden Centre.
We will now have a break before the final regional
awards evening for Scotland and Northern Ireland, which takes place on
September 7 at Klondyke Mayfield.
