Wyevale aka The Garden Centre Group now Wyevale

Garden centre are classed as brownfield sites so easier to sell off and use for housing?

 

Only the ones that don't water their plants.

 

I've brought some plants from these over the time from the one up Albrighton...they do have good selections of grasses there though

 

The closures have started, 50% off at everything Wyevale Windlesham Wyevale Garden Centre, Windlesham closing down sale 50% off - HotUKDeals

Is that near you @JWK and @Loofah ?

 

I buy my garden fertilizer & compost at Wilko, so 50% off at Wyevale would be the prices charged at Wilko.

 

Windlesham is a very affluent area. Is there much competition?

 

It'ĺl be a financial disaster if our local Wyevale closes, we get approx. 100 x 2.4 x 1.2m non-returnable pallets p.a. from one of the concessions operating from there which provides loads of decent size slats for use at our plot, plus masses of kindling and the struts get added to our free logs [1] to heat our house.


[1] Chainsaw fuel/oil costs only.

 

Wyevale in Wimborne up for sale but it looks like all of them will be!

 

I'm still trying to get my head around it all!

 

Wyevale aka The Garden Centre Group now Wyevale ....

And now Blue Diamond - Wyevale sells eight largest garden centres to Blue Diamond - Retail Gazette

"The Wyevale centres that have been sold include those in Bicester, Cardiff and Cadbury.

Blue Diamond said it planned to invest £16 million in remodelling the newly-acquired stores over the next three years to make them more like its Redfields Garden & Living Centre in Hampshire and its Blue Diamond Garden and Home store near Nottingham"


As I use Wyevale Bicester (Oxon), can anybody advise me what to expect when it turns into a Blue Djamond garden centre?

 

Oh dear, no free seeds or seriously reduced compost, looks like yet another GC that wont be getting my custom any more.
