Glan Conwy garden centre unveils lodge plan as supermarket competition hits business.
A popular plant nursery wants to expand with luxury lodges offering horticultural themed holiday on the site.
Tal Goed Nurseries, near Glan Conwy , has been running for more than 25 years but has seen its turnover fall since 2009.
The owners blame low cost competition, particularly from supermarkets.
Now they have identified an opportunity to develop 27 holiday lodges at the site to operate alongside the existing garden centre and the Planters cafe businesses.
They say it would secure the businesses at the location - securing and creating 27 jobs.
In the planning statement, they said: “In order to address a declining financial viability and to inject value into the business, the proprietors have commissioned the production of plans to develop lodge accommodation on under-utilised land at Tal Goed.
