Bought by the Co-op to grow flowers for funerals and then by the Walker family who turned it into a garden centre, it has since developed into the popular and successful operation of today. A green oasis in a suburban environment, it is famed for its top quality growing stock, as well as its friendly and knowledgeable staff. Loyal and committed (one member of staff has been at the centre for more than 25 years!), they are horticultural experts whose knowledge of local growing conditions translates into invaluable advice for any customer.
