Whoever you believe in… God loves a trier
Try, try and try again.
This week I’ve spoken to a very forward-thinking chap from Garforth Garden Centre – I have been trying, for some years now to get local produce and products into our Garden Centre, a sort of ‘Garforth Born and BREAD’ shelf! It makes so much sense. I feel maybe now, the time is right, especially as we are starting to see good changes in businesses, big and small, how they’re looking to make their business more eco-friendly and sustainable for their future. Buying and using local products and supporting each other, saves carbon footprint, let alone all the other benefits. I mean, if one of our local businesses have their wares in John Lewis, surely, we can get them in our local garden centre!! Here’s hoping – big fingers crossed.
