Overview

• Peter and Guy Topping have entered exclusive discussions with Blue Diamond to sell Barton Grange Garden Centre along with its Garden Centre Plants wholesale nursery.
• The talks aim to secure the centre’s future prominence by preserving its lavish displays and award-winning horticultural offerings.
• The Flower Bowl leisure complex, Barton Grange Marina and most of the Brock site will remain under Topping family ownership.
• The decision follows the next generation’s move toward leisure ventures and the founders’ intention to slow down.
• Customers have expressed sadness over the proposed sale and urged Blue Diamond to maintain the centre’s character under new management.
