A Brief History of Haddenham Garden Centre

Chris Hawkins and his father Jack opened the Nurseries in 1978. Chris had been a self-employed landscape gardener for 10 years, and before that, he had carried out a five-year engineering apprenticeship. Jack was a Manager at the Rolls-Royce Works at Leavesdon, Watford, and took early retirement to help Chris with his new business venture. Here are a few old photos.
