5 YEAR GUARANTEE Proud members of the Garden Centre Association
At Grovewell Garden Centres, we’re passionate about providing the very best plants, products, restaurants and customer service. That’s why we’re proud to be members of the Garden Centre Association (GCA), the industry’s leading organisation representing the UK’s best garden centres.
Membership of the GCA is only awarded to centres that meet the highest standards across all areas of the business. Through independent annual inspections, every aspect of a garden centre is assessed, including plant quality, retail displays, customer service, catering, environmental responsibility and overall presentation.
Wherever you see the GCA logo, you can be confident you’re visiting a garden centre committed to expertise, quality and exceptional service.
Tenterden and Canterbury Garden Centres have been proud members of the Garden Centre Association since 2011, and we hope to welcome Folkestone and Hamstreet Garden Centres into membership in the coming months.
