Martel’s Garden World to close

Wednesday 27th May 2009, 2:29PM BST.

Flowers at Martels Garden World MARTEL’S Garden World is closing its doors for the last time this summer after more than 40 years in business.

A spokesman for Martel’s said it was regrettable and unfortunate that it had to close but it was due to many factors, including increasing costs and the inability to develop the site due to Environment Department regulations.

‘With the closure of the garden centre this will also mean the end of the green waste recycling.’

There will be a closing down sale, starting on Saturday, to sell off the stock.
