Couple’s new gardening Peak<br />
E<br />
XPERIENCED horticulturists Murry and Caroline<br />
Newbury are the new proprietors of one of the<br />
country’s longest-established garden centres.<br />
They have taken over the running of Hope Valley Garden<br />
Centre at Bamford where they have already initiated a number<br />
of improvements and greatly added to stock levels in time for<br />
spring and summer planting.<br />
The couple have more than 25 years experience in the<br />
horticulture industry and they have retained existing team<br />
members at the extensive Peak District centre.<br />
Now they are looking forward to welcoming customers old<br />
and new to their new venture - particularly friends from the<br />
north Derbyshire area.<br />
Hope Valley Garden Centre - alongside the road to Hope and<br />
Castleton - is one of the oldest in the country, being established<br />
by Clifford Proctor in 1947. It has recently been owned by Emma<br />
Proctor who has entrusted Murry and Caroline with the running<br />
and development of the business.<br />
You will discover everything for your garden from seeds and<br />
colourful bedding plants through to roses, shrubs, trees, pond<br />
plants, garden furniture, statues and planters.<br />
Planned developments include the introduction of a customer<br />
loyalty scheme, a new e-commerce website, the development<br />
of a large indoor showroom which will greatly increase the<br />
choices and range that will be on offer. The couple also plan to<br />
run various customer workshops which will be bookable online<br />
or in store.<br />
Murry explained that the couple were en-route to Buxton<br />
when they called in at the centre to take a look around and<br />
discovered the business was on the market.<br />
