Gardening Express
Chris Bonnett set up Gardening Express when he was still a
teenager, studying for a degree at Writtle College, world-renowned
in the world of horticulture. That was a decade ago. He relaunched
the site in 2005, shortly after graduating, having worked hard to
build the business alongside his studies. Perhaps because of
Chris's deep appreciation and understanding of horticulture,
Gardening Express is known for its dedication to quality, service
and value for money. It is now one of the largest independent
online Garden Centres in the UK. It has expanded to Europe and has
formed partnerships with high-profile brands such as Oxford Street
stores, as well as other garden centre groups.
