Our Peter featured in the King’s New Year Honours list 2025
We had a nice surprise at the end of last year as our Managing Director, Peter Hulatt was awarded the British Empire Medal in the King’s New Year Honours List for services to the Camden Garden Centre Charitable Trust.
Peter said ‘it’s a lovely thing to be given and I feel privileged to receive it – it’s an accolade for the Garden Centre and Trust as a whole for what has been achieved over the last 40 years helping people with barriers to employment through training, and I share it with all of the staff, Directors and Trustees past and present and last but very much not least, all of our customers without whom none of this would be possible. I think my wife has got a good excuse to get a posh frock and new hat for the presentation later this year!’
Gardening is good for your health!
We at Camden Garden Centre have always noticed the physical and mental health benefits to gardening but here are some findings that back up our theories with facts.
A survey has found that 81% of British adults agree gardens and green spaces benefit their physical health, and 85% of adults agree gardens benefit their state of mind.
The HTA’s Value of Plants report found gardening uses up to 200 calories in a 30-minute stint.
The Environmental Horticulture Group’s (EHG) Mission Green Growth report stated how urban vegetation has helped the UK avoid £800.5 million in health-related costs.
So there you have it, get out there and garden for fitness!

Jeepers #creepers – moving into the autumn is the perfect time for establishing superb #jasmine’ #lonicera’ #solanum’ and #clematis. If you are planting now make sure to water well and use #rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi to help establish roots which will take up water and nutrients more effectively.
