I always feel dreadful when I hear about redundancies. When you read media reports of "x job losses" it is easy to forget that each one is a family not sleeping, a mortgage in arrears.
The people at Garden King have my sympathy but, oh my goodness, it was bad. I went there for the first and last time last Autumn, to meet an elderly friend. I hadn't been there since it was Fosters and couldn't believe how depressing, bleak and empty it had become.
A relative works there - hence the insider info - don't think it actually goes until April sorry.
Again it was a big part of my childhood, going to see the winter wonderland and choosing flowers for my mums garden
Its really sad - a combination of the current economy and poor management
