If it’s Christmas inspiration you want it doesn’t come any better then the national winners of the GCA Christmas Display Competition.
We’ve been on the road to get exclusive video and sparkling images of Barton Grange’s new £15 million garden centre at Brock and Castle Gardens at Sherborne.
Both centres have been judged the best Christmas displays in the UK by this year’s finals judge Jeanette Cheetham, of Visual Thinking. She told GTN Online: “I was absolutely blown away by the standard of the displays this year.”
Each centre is judged on the presentation, product range and merchandising of the display, and also on the range of fresh Christmas trees, Christmas indoor plants and the Christmas menus in each of the restaurants.
