Here we take a peek behind the scenes where the works are taking place at Newbridge Nurseries in Broadbridge Heath.
The first phase of the expansion will see completion of a £4.5 million extension to the centre’s ‘shopping area’, new toilets and car park.
The second phase will include a new cafe, new roof and an extension of the garden sundries area.
Manager Steve Nicholls says: “It is going to look pretty special.”
