Caulders Garden Centre in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire, Scotland has scooped six awards in Scotland's heats to find the GCA's annual Garden Centre of the Year.

The GCA also presented Caulders with awards for Scotland's Best People, Best Plant Area, Best Gardening Retailer and a final award for Outstanding Achievement.

Caulders currently has two garden centres in Glasgow - Caulders Kirkintilloch and Caulders Mugdock.
