New Garden Centre - DYG Now Clicks & Bricks is interesting news for Tig & Co. While many are implementing moves to add Clicks to Bricks DYG are adding Bricks to their Clicks. Get it?

Blood sweat and tears got them there so maybe the new garden centre will be a light relief and also adds to their authenticity as a reliable online provider.
