Harrogate Garden Centre, also previously known as Cascades Garden Centre, has been closed for more than a year but will be ready for reopening in early April. It will be BGC’s 58th branch. The new store will create 40 jobs, with an extra 15 created when the restaurant can reopen in the summer.

BGC founder Charles Stubbs said “I’m delighted we can bring the unique BGC offer to the Harrogate area. I’m excited by the prospect of re-opening the garden centre and we are going to pull out all the stops and open in April with our full gardening range.”
