Located near Caernarfon, the Fron Goch Garden Center crowns the best garden centre in the UK. It has proven popular with both local residents and visitors from other locations flocking to its famous displays and cafes. The prestigious British Garden Centre Association (GCA) welcomes the country's best Gotchi of 2024.
GCA inspector Alison Haywood praised Gotch, saying “the centre of a wonderful garden with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere that focuses heavily on environmental sustainability and local sourcing.” Meanwhile, GCA CEO Peter Burks commented on the high standards within the association. “Through the annual inspection, we can see that Member Garden Centers have the highest standards in the industry.”
He continued. “Every year, our members move from strength to strength, and the competition to reach the top spot is even more heated and contested, and all of our worthy winners should be extremely proud of the example we have set for others.
“I would like to congratulate them all on their remarkable commitment to ensuring they receive a truly positive experience when visiting them.”
The Fron Goch team said, “Achieving such a compliment is not an easy task. The standards set by all 215 centres across the UK, part of the GCA and Garden Center industry, are extremely high at the best in the business.
“We can't thank the incredible team enough. This is our testimony to them, their passion, their pride, their belief in us.”
