Made it at last! After more than two years of plotting, planning and building, True Blue Garden Centre has “transplanted” to their brand new nursery at 127 Hursley Road in Glenvale. With their eye-catching lime green shade sales you can’t miss the purpose built garden centre designed by owner and manager Meredith Richters. The main entrance is around the corner in Markelee Street off Hursley Road to make it easier for gardeners to access. “We’ve learnt by experience at the old nursery in McDougall Street. It’s much more convenient for our customers to drive into our carpark from the side street” says Meredith.
Much planning has gone into the new premises with a very accessible double driveway and generous parking. You then walk past the potting mixes and mulch kept handy to the carpark into the spacious shop area containing an array of tools, garden supplies, wall art, giftware and the service counter. Wander a little further into the nursery and “WOW”. Wide concrete paths network through the nursery showing a wonderful display of roses, plants, trees, seedlings, pots and garden ornaments. Lime green shade sails cover the shade loving plants and white hail netting is in place to prevent possible damage.
“We wanted to create a fresh and relaxing ambience in the garden centre while being practical and I am very happy with the result….mind you, the complex is young and a work in progress with more planned when the budget allows” says Meredith.
Regular customers as well as many new ones are discovering the gardener’s wonderland at the brand new True Blue Garden Centre. “Our customers tell us all the time we have the best range and quality of plants and I get many comments about how helpful our customer service team and horticulturists are too” says Meredith. “After being retrenched from Pigotts Department Store and starting my own nursery in 1983 at the age of 19…. this is the culmination of many years hard work and I’m elated to be living my dream. I’ve built businesses from scratch and now to have our own purpose built premises is wonderful.”
This is a great time of year to get some gardening done and True Blue Garden Centre is the place to go and find that special something for your home and garden, or maybe you’re just looking for some ideas.
