There is a wealth of knowledge that is shared between GCA garden centre members in each geographical region. It will be my duty to co-ordinate and facilitate the exchange of best practice and ideas in the region to ensure that respective members can continue to provide the best products and experiences for their customers.Monkton Elm Garden & Pet Centre was launched in 1982 and is now one of Somersetâs leading independent, family-run garden centres.
The business was founded by David and Luella Bellmen and the whole family remain very much involved in the running of the garden centre. Mike, who is David and Luellas son-in-law, took over as Managing Director in 2012. Mike takes on the GCA position from Mike Burks, who runs The Gardens Group in Somerset and Dorset.
