Our garden centre members are being asked to vote for their Associate Member of the Year 2024 – with the winner revealed at our annual conference in January (January 26 until 29, 2025).
The award recognises companies or individuals that have contributed to the success of the sector and is highly regarded and valued by garden centres.
