Whats New at Hillier?
'Happy Houseplants' - FREE Talk at NEWBURY GARDEN CENTRE
Our Newbury Store will be hosting a FREE housplant talk and surgery on Thursday 9th September - 10.30 am. Call to reserve your seat on 01635 200442
EASTBOURNE - We're Growing
Regular visitors to our Eastbourne Garden Centre will have noticed a few changes - the main one being that the garden centre isnt there any more! We're trading from a temporary facility 100metres up the road whilst we demolish and rebuild the main Garden Centre. Due to open in Spring 2011 the new centre will offer bigger and better facilities, a fabulous new coffee shop, and more room to park, and browse and shop in comfort.
Meanwhile, our temporary facility has all the Hillier quality plants and products that you would expect from us, and is easy to find - its clearly signposted from the main road, so pay us a visit and see how the building work is progressing
STOCKTAKING - store closures
We dont like doing it, but on 31st August and 1st September, some of our stores will be closed for Annual Stocktaking - we know its inconvenient, so we've split it over 2 days this year to try and offer an alternative store locally where possible so:
Tuesday 31st August: Winchester, Braishfield, Sunningdale, Bath, Hemel Hempstead, Redditch and Chichester will be closed
Wednesday 1st September: Horsham, Botley, Liss, Newbury, Romsey, Eastbourne will be closed
www.hillieronline.co.uk - new Hillier online shop open at www.hillieronline.co.uk . Save £10 on your first order, when you spend £50 or more - use the promotional code adventures2010HILLIER GARDEN CENTRES BLOG
