Tickled pink with a home-grown win

IT was a victory sweeter than one of his home-grown cherries. That’s how Tim Pickles described his business’s win of Australia’s best large garden centre for the third consecutive year.

Tim’s Garden Centre achieved top honours in the 2009 Nursery and Garden Industry Awards at Parliament House, Canberra, last month. The awards hat-trick means the Campbelltown garden
centre has joined the ranks of horticultural immortals in the industry’s hall of fame.

Tim said there were mixed feelings when the contents of the envelope were read out.‘‘It was excitement but relief as well because we are . . . not allowed to enter the competition for another three years,’’ he said.‘‘Now we can relax a bit and stand aside to let other nurseries have a go.’’

Tim’s Garden Centre is the only nursery in NSW to be inducted into the hall of fame.
It wasn’t the only accolade received by the centre on the night.

Manager Simon Reid was named the Young Nursery Leader of the Year. Mr Pickles said the award and its surprise $1500 cash prize couldn’t have gone to a more deserving person.

He also paid tribute to the rest of his staff.‘‘We have staff who have worked here for 18 years and there isn’t another nursery with better staff in all of Australia,’’ Mr Pickles said.
