Brimsmore Gardens wins top prize at national Christmas Competition

The Gardens Group are absolutely over the moon to announce that Brimsmore Gardens, has been named national champion in the Garden Centre Association’s (GCA) annual Christmas Display Competition, claiming top spot in the Local Garden Centre Category.

This fantastic result marks the 15^th time that one of our centres has won the GCA Christmas Display Competition in the last 20 years. Poundbury Gardens came second nationally, while Castle Gardens was named as a finalist in the regional rankings in the larger Garden Centre Category.

Louise and the team have truly impressed the judges once again with their planet friendly Christmas displays, which have been built using repurposed and recycled materials. Delighting visitors with themes including The Gruffalo, Alice in Wonderland, Tinsel Town and a Highland Christmas, the magical wonderlands are brimming with eco-friendly products, such as glass baubles, twinkly LED lights, recycled candles and plastic free toys.

The bar is always being raised by our colleagues across the industry, and as we all strive to become more eco-friendly and more immersive every year, we’re incredibly proud to have another trophy to show for our efforts. Our Christmas displays are a huge team effort, so these accolades are a tribute to the hard work and dedication of everyone at The Gardens Group. 

Our Christmas displays are open to the public seven days a week until Christmas Eve, at Brimsmore Gardens in Yeovil, Castle Gardens in Sherborne and Poundbury Gardens near Dorchester.
