The Garden Centre of the Year Award is a part of CNLA’s National Awards of Excellence program. The award will help us recognize the professional work of our retail members based on a set of criteria.
Entries may come direct to CNLA, but only in the instance where a provincial association is not running a garden centre awards program. In provinces that have a program, entries will come direct from the association office.
2014 entry package coming soon!
