The Garden Centre Association (GCA) is inviting members to a free webinar entitled Engaging Events for Your Garden Centre, which will be held on 10th March. The session, which will be hosted by Peter Burks, chief executive officer of the GCA, will showcase a trio of inspiring speakers who will share practical and creative event ideas tailored to garden centres.
Designed to equip member garden centres with fresh, family‑friendly event concepts, the webinar will highlight innovative programmes and initiatives that can be implemented throughout the year. The speakers will include TV and radio personality Lee Connelly.
‘Exceptional group of speakers’
Burks said: “We’re thrilled to bring together such an exceptional group of speakers for this session and to welcome Lee Connelly, who shot to fame as a CBBC Blue Peter gardener. He is subsequently equally as well-known as a gardening podcaster and author, as well as an advisor to the House of Lords Horticulture Committee.
“Lee is one of the most energetic voices in children’s gardening and his new Great Garden Centre Mystery is set to be a brilliant, interactive way to get families involved in gardening.”
Connelly added: “Garden centres are such an important gateway into our industry, especially for families and young people, so having the opportunity to share ideas and explore how we can better connect with the next generation is something I’m really passionate about. I’m looking forward to a positive, practical conversation that inspires centres to see the huge potential they have in shaping future careers and creating meaningful experiences for children.”
