Stewarts, the UK's first garden centre

That this House congratulates Stewarts Garden Centres based in Dorset for the seventieth birthday of the UK’s first garden centre in Ferndown; celebrates the role Edward Stewart, founder of the garden centre, played in the development of gardening as a hobby; recognises the contribution of the wider horticultural sector to our understanding of nature and the environment in this country; pays tribute to gardeners across the UK for their green-fingered additions to our communities; and commends the Stewart family for continuing Edward’s legacy with their three current garden centres that are part of a family business dating back to 1742.
