This knowledge and experience led to the development of Gro Australia. For the past ten years, Hilton and Tracy have worked with over 50 independent garden centres around Australia with outstanding success.
Every business has its unique personality and values. With an understanding of the goals and personal needs of each business, a personalised business strategy is developed to see these businesses grow into the most successful and profitable business they can be.
Although Hilton has formal qualifications in retailing horticulture and Tracy in interior decorating and floristry, it is their ‘hands on’ experience, enthusiasm and great communication skills that are their greatest attibutes.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container type=”flex” hundred_percent=”no”
