Squire’s Garden Centres Celebrate ‘Best of British’ Displays

Teams from all 16 of our centres have been busy over the last few months, creating colourful and striking displays as part of the company’s ‘Best of British’ challenge, which was saw centres invited to create eye-catching displays that would pay homage to Her Majesty’s 70 years on the throne, while delighting customers throughout the summer.

From a quintessential cottage garden display to a vintage mini, a classic garden shed to an allotment-theme, each centre came up with a creative planting scheme that, in the team’s eyes, encapsulated elements of Britishness.

Sarah Squire, Chairman of Squire’s Garden Centres, comments: “We’ve seen some amazing creativity from our centre teams!  So much thought and care has gone into these creations.  The teams really got behind the challenge and I am so delighted that they’ve enjoyed putting some really special displays together to commemorate this Platinum Jubilee year.  Our customers have been able to see them coming into bloom over the weeks and enjoying them at their peak with some stunning floral displays.  I would like to personally congratulate all our centres for their amazing creativity in this year’s ‘Best of British’ challenge, they have all created wonderful displays to be proud of.”

Squire’s Milford was awarded the Squire’s Cup for ‘Best Display’ with a unique exhibit consisting of a vintage Mini car, planted up with red, white and blue flowering bedding plants.  Runner up was Squire’s Shepperton with their ‘Rose & Crown’ centrepiece, featuring a UK-grown scented bush rose ‘Trumpeter’, placed in a striking crown-structure and surrounded by cottage-style garden plants including allium, lavender, lupin and peony, among others.
