Alyson had had a long relationship with Woodmansterne at previous garden centres and they have always been open and honest, easy to work with and with a fabulous selection of cards from humour and ages to occasions and art. The fact that all the cards are recyclable, glitter and plastic free also fits with Moss & Moor ethos. “As a brand-new centre, we had already decided on the look and feel of our card department and had done extensive research into the local demographics. Woodmansterne worked with us to select the range and sales have outperformed expectation. Jayne our sales representative has been enormously supportive in ensuring regular replenishments are done to ensure we never run out of cards!
