International visitors dropped into Daisy Nook in their search for Britain’s finest garden centres.
The International Garden Centre Association, made up of garden centre owners and international suppliers for the horticultural industry, is holding its annual conference in England this year.
The group also tours premier garden centres and shares ideas and new business links. As part of the tour, four coach-loads carrying 250 business delegates from as far afield as Japan, Australia, Canada, the United States and Germany all made the trip.
Managing director of Daisy Nook Garden Centre, Richard Calder, said: “It is an honour to have the IGCA visit us as it ranks us as one of the leading garden centres in the country.
“It is a delight to welcome delegates from all over the world to our family-run business.”
