Dunbar Garden Centre is looking to add to its restaurant while also offering space for different groups to meet. “A garden centre’s catering offer is an essential part of attracting customers to visit and spend time at the garden centre. Currently, the garden centre employs 71 full and part-time members of staff. The document reads: “There are also suppliers ‘get-togethers’; there are regional meetings of the Horticultural Trades Associate which can attract up to 50 or more delegates; there are regional meetings of the Garden Centre Association with 20-40 delegates; there are regional meetings of the Choice Garden Centre Marketing Group including ‘mini’ trade shows for garden centre owners to attend. "There is also a wider strategic question about the relationship between major destination businesses on the edge of town and the long-term health of Dunbar town centre.
