Food hall and farm shop sales stay positive

THE FOOD hall and farm shops category within garden centres saw positive sales during January (2021)

THE FIRST regional meetings of 2021 for Garden Centre Association members were held online and were hailed a great success.

MEMBERS of the Garden Centre Association will still be able to get together for their regional meetings in a virtual capacity this year.

THE GCA says its e-learning GROW modules on social distancing helped prepare member centres for re-opening after lockdown (2020).

“If I was down to my last dollar, I'd spend it on public relations.”

"A good PR story is infinitely more effective than a front-page ad."

“Without publicity a terrible thing happens: nothing.”

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”
