We proudly welcomed hundreds of visitors through our doors on Saturday 12th April for the grand opening of our brand-new Entrance Building and Covered Plant Area. The event also marked a significant milestone – the Garden Centre’s 35th anniversary.
Guests enjoyed a full day of celebration, beginning with an official ribbon cutting by renowned TV gardener David Domoney. Shortly after, David gave an inspiring talk to our visitors, sharing expert tips and insights into his new book, followed by a book signing session where guests had the opportunity to meet him personally.
Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, live music from young local musician Elis Jones filled the garden centre throughout the afternoon, entertaining guests as they explored the brand-new facilities and vibrant plant displays. A ceremonial cake cutting by Mark & Christina and bubbles later in the day provided a fitting end to a joyful event.
The first 100 customers through the door received a complimentary goodie bag, and younger visitors were treated to a free plant through the Little Oaks Children’s Club.
Huw Lewis, Finance Director, said:
“It was such a special day for us, made even more memorable by the support and excitement from our customers. After months of hard work, seeing so many smiling faces enjoying the new space was a truly proud moment.”
Shaunagh Cleary, Catering Director, added:
“We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who came along to celebrate with us. The response has been phenomenal, and we’re thrilled to be entering this next chapter of the garden centre’s journey with the support of our fantastic community.”
We will be running exclusive Grand Opening offers throughout the coming week to continue the celebrations. We look forward to seeing you all and hearing about what you think of the brand new space!
