We’re an award-winning lifestyle destination and currently hold one of our industry’s most coveted accolades – the award for GCA's Garden Centre of the Year 2010. This is in recognition of everything we do, from our fantastic customer service to our expert plant knowledge.
 Everything about our award-winning lifestyle store is designed to be an enthralling experience. From the moment you walk through the door you’ll be amazed at the quality and attention to detail. It’s in everything from our stylish store layout to the exquisite room sets, the culinary delights in The Fresh Approach Restaurant to the innovative Open Skies glass house.
