Wyevale Garden Centres will be donating £500 to local voluntary emergency services charity LIVES in recognition of the community’s support for the initiative. Crowders Garden Centre has for many years supported LIVES, and Wyevale Garden Centres say they are “delighted” to continue to support.

Voting boxes are in the garden centre from February 8 through to February 28 inclusive, so visit today and have your say.

Ken Dawson, Garden Centre Manager at Crowders, said: “We are thrilled to invite visitors at Crowders to play an important role in shaping the future name of the centre to ensure the new name is in keeping with its rich history and heritage, and chimes with local community values.”

Trevor Blake, a long serving member of staff at Crowders, said: “Crowders has so much heritage and we are delighted to be part of the renaming process. I have been a colleague at the centre for 15 years and it is thrilling have an input in this significant change for the centre.”
