With the hustle and bustle of modern life, it’s not often that you have a chance to reflect on your achievements, but the team at Brimsmore Gardens had the perfect opportunity to take stock last month at the Garden Centre Association’s (GCA) Wales & West regional awards.

Following the GCA’s unannounced annual audits earlier in the year, Brimsmore was awarded three certificates of merit in the categories of Catering, Website and Environmental Opportunities, giving the team the recognition they deserved for their tireless efforts to achieve the highest standards across the board.

Representing nearly 200 garden centres nationwide, the GCA’s inspection programme recognises continuous improvement and sets industry standards to be achieved and surpassed, so it means a great deal to us to be placed in such good company.
