The Calder family, who have owned hugely popular Daisy Nook garden centre in Failsworth for over half a century, have announced that they are selling up.

Company chairman Richard Calder (76) said: “We have loved running the centre and getting to know so many loyal customers.

"However, we don’t have another, younger, generation of the family wanting to take it on so it’s inevitable that we offer the business for sale.

"We are advertising it as a ‘going concern’ and hope very much to find a buyer who will continue and develop the business and ensure that our wonderful team of staff stay here.

"We’re advised that this won’t be a quick process, so we’ll be around for quite a while yet, I’m sure.”

The garden centre, set opposite Daisy Nook country park and close to the M60, occupies almost five acres and opened in 1972.
