Northern Ireland is to have a brand new garden centre to be built in the historic grounds or Galgorm Castle, Ballymena.  It will be operated by Creative Gardens who already runs two well known award winning centres in Donaghadee and Bushmills.

Creative Gardens specialise in all year round colourful plants to interest both the expert gardener and the beginner alike.  This is complimented with a huge range of garden accessories, giftware, interiors and a lovely Christmas shop.  Their cafes are famous for their home cooked meals and delicious baking. 

 Diana Gass who runs the family business with her two sons and daughter said “We are delighted to have the opportunity to run a garden centre in such a beautiful setting and we will do our best to enhance and add to the atmosphere at Galgorm.  We look forward to offering the people of Ballymena a relaxing and inspirational experience when they visit!”

 “These days so many national and multinational companies dominate the business world we are proud to be a Northern Irish company employing local people and sourcing local products where possible”.

Building work is to start this month and Creative Gardens plan the opening in Spring 2014.  Follow progress on Creative Gardens Galgorm Castles new Facebook page www.facebook.com/creativegardensgalgorm
