Successful Giant Plant Sale

Giant Plant Sale: The Giant Plant Sale on Bank Holiday Monday, 27th May, 2019 was a huge success and we sold 13% more than last year in glorious weather. 

The funds raised were a record and have been used to cover the cost of moving from Bellefleur to the new glasshouse space at Guernsey Gardens.
