The seventh annual Top 100 Garden Centres report details the individual UK garden centres that have recorded the highest turnovers The report does not include VAT and concession income.
Once again, it shows the strength of the independent sector but also the power of groups such as Dobbies, Blue Diamond, Notcutts, Frosts and Squire's. The top centres have generally seen growth over the past year and are up again this season. Many have added extra leisure attractions to their offer but as the sector matures they are looking to add new sites to their portfolios if they feel they cannot expand much more at existing sites, or are looking to maximise income from centres they feel are yet to fulfil their potential.
