Stewarts, the UK's first garden centre

Tabled by Vikki Slade (Liberal Democrat) 10 signatures

The motion

That this House congratulates Stewarts Garden Centres based in Dorset for the seventieth birthday of the UK’s first garden centre in Ferndown; celebrates the role Edward Stewart, founder of the garden centre, played in the development of gardening as a hobby; recognises the contribution of the wider horticultural sector to our understanding of nature and the environment in this country; pays tribute to gardeners across the UK for their green-fingered additions to our communities; and commends the Stewart family for continuing Edward’s legacy with their three current garden centres that are part of a family business dating back to 1742.
