The winners of our South Thames regional awards were
revealed during a presentation evening yesterday (Wednesday, July 26, 2017) at
Castle Gardens in Dorset.
The title of Garden Centre of the Year in the
Destination Garden Centre (DGC) category was awarded to Haskins Garden Centre –
Roundstone and the Garden Centre (GC) category award went to Squires Garden
Centre – Hersham.
This was our fourth regional awards meeting of the
month and it was a great success. I’d like to offer thanks to Castle Gardens
for being brilliant hosts and congratulate all our very deserving
award-winners, who were inspected by Michael Cole.
Other awards on the night included The Barton Grange
Trophy for Innovation and Creativity, which was awarded to Haskins Garden
Centre – Roundstone and the Dick Allen Award for Most Improved Centre, which
went to Hillier Garden Centre – Braishfield.
We’re now looking forward to the penultimate regional
