Squires
Squires Garden Centres recently held a competition between each of their garden centres.
?
The aim was to show customers that gardening can be really easy.
?
Squires hoped to dispel some of the myths around gardening and encourage visitors to take the plunge.
?
The purpose of Squires ?Easy Gardening? competition was to inspire customers. Squires did this with simple, cost-effective, creative ideas that could be replicated at home.
?
Colin Squire and his daughter Sarah, judged the competition. Squires in Milford won the ?Best Focal Point? award. Squire?s in Chertsey won the award for ?Best Showcasing Of Easy Gardening?.
?
Commenting on the winners Sarah Squire said: ?Squires in Milford won the ?Best Focal Point? award.
?
“We thought that their design captured every element of the competition. It looked stunning and was full of really good easy gardening ideas from plants to products.
?
“The use of the gazebo gave height and made the display stand out from wherever you were in the plant area.
?
“Plus everything was well explained to show customers how to re-create the look in their own garden.
?
We gave Squire?s in Chertsey the ?Best Showcasing Of Easy Gardening? award.
?
“They had some great ideas for how to get the best out of a small urban space.
?
“The use of the two levels here was clever, with pots hanging on the railings, and even a ?tea for two? set on the balcony. It shows people how to create height even when space is limited.?
