Thornton-Cleveleys resident wins £32,500 prize thanks to Resolva

Thornton-Cleveleys resident Anne Emery hit the jackpot at The Plant Place Garden Centre, driving away in a brand-new electric Mini Cooper worth £32,500.

The thrilling prize came courtesy of a competition run by Resolva, part of Westland Horticulture, showcasing their dedication to giving gardeners “freedom from weeds” — and now, the freedom to explore.

Anne, an avid gardener and regular visitor to The Plant Place, couldn’t contain her excitement when she learned she was the lucky winner of the eco-friendly vehicle. “I couldn’t believe it when I found out I’d won! This car is an absolute dream,” she said. “It’s not just about the prize; it’s about the freedom it gives me to explore new places and spend more time doing what I love. I feel incredibly lucky!”

The competition, held last year, encouraged customers of The Plant Place to enter a prize draw to win the electric vehicle as part of Resolva’s initiative to celebrate their gardening solutions. The prize reflects their ethos of making life easier for gardeners, both in the garden and beyond.

Oliver Hallam, spokesperson for The Plant Place, expressed his delight for Anne. “We are absolutely thrilled for Anne, who has been a valued member of our Seed loyalty club for years. At The Plant Place, we always strive to reward our loyal customers, whether it’s through social media giveaways or our in-store initiatives. This incredible prize from Resolva is the ultimate reward, and we’re so proud to be part of it.”

Established in 1998, The Plant Place has built a solid reputation in the local community for its customer-first approach. Anne’s win not only brings joy to a cherished customer but also underscores the garden centre’s commitment to fostering meaningful connections with its patrons.

George Pitcher, Brand Manager for Resolva at Westland Horticulture, was on hand to personally congratulate Anne at the prize-giving ceremony. “Resolva is all about giving gardeners the freedom to enjoy their outdoor spaces without the hassle of constant weeding,” he said. “Now, we’re thrilled to extend that freedom to easy, eco-conscious travel. Seeing Anne’s joy is a reminder of why we do what we do. Her excitement is infectious, and we’re delighted to see how this prize will impact her life.”

Anne’s story serves as a testament to the rewarding partnerships between The Plant Place and leading brands like Westland Horticulture, which share a commitment to enhancing the gardening experience. As Anne sets out on new adventures in her electric Mini Cooper, her win stands as a symbol of the joy and community spirit cultivated by The Plant Place and its partners.
