ONE of Taunton's largest garden centres re-opened today.

Shoppers were welcomed back to Monkton Elm Garden Centre, in Monkton Heathfield, after an easing of Government restrictions during the coronavirus crisis.

Previously, managing director of the business, Mike Lind, said lockdown restrictions were having a 'huge financial impact' on the company.

“As an independently owned family business for more than 40 years, it has always been our ethos to put the welfare of our staff and our customers first," he said.
