The garden centre is located on the edge of a major shopping district and predominantly serves shoppers in the area. The board have acquired 600m2 block of land next to the garden centre, with provisional approval to develop an uncovered external area which will be used to display and sell outdoor plants, trees, garden materials and equipment.
