Best Plant Retailer In The South Of England

Stewarts Garden Centres are celebrating a double whammy!

GardenLands, Christchurch, have won for the third year running the Ruxley Rose Plantaria 2009/2010 Award for Best Plant Retailer in the South of England in the category of large garden centres.

The Country Garden Centre, Broomhill, was thrilled to win for the first time the South Coast heat in the category of small garden centres.

The competition is tightly contested, with 24 entries this year in the South Thames area, and gets its name from the sponsorship by Ruxley Manor Garden Centre when it started in 1984. The Ruxley Rose competition is about encouraging GCA members to look at the whole plant experience around their garden centres - from the car park, through all the plant displays with attention to all the little details using plants to create the "wow" factor all the way.
The national round of judging of plant area at Garden Centre Association Garden Centres has now been completed and the staff at Stewarts eagerly await the GCA Conference on 25th January 2010, when the national winners in the two category bands will be announced.

Ian Boardman, National Judge commented, "It was a fascinating project to carry out and there are some shining examples of the best plant areas in the country in their full autumn colour to show the audience at the GCA Conference".
