The Garden Centre Group, a.k.a. Wyevale, shut the Pyle Garden Centre
in January. I've been watching signs of the place being refurbished
and the appearance of "garden centre reopening in the spring" signs
indicated something was happening.

Discovered today that the BBC Wales newsreader Jane James is
branching out and "re-opening" the place as an independent. The
renowned Derek Brockway (BBC Wales weatherman with an international
fan club!) will be performing the opening ceremony on 31 March.

So now I wonder whether the offerings and prices will be typical
garden centre or more nursery oriented.

I hope the cafe will continue to serve their brilliant bread pudding.

I used to hate that bl***y cafe as it was a regular
haunt for local business people who would fill up the car park whilst
having a business meeting over coffee and I had to lug the compost up
to the overflow car park that was (is) higher than the roof of the
garden centre! I know Wyevale lost a lot of business because people
couldn't park "on a level" and just drove off.

If ever I had any survey work in the Pyle area, I would sometimes call in
there for lunch.:-)


If you're ever coming to the cafe, let me know - it would be good to
meet!

I rearely get to Pyle these days, but yours is a nice idea - Ishall bear it
in mind.
