Homebase appoints Henry Agg as first garden ambassador

Homebase has appointed garden designer Henry Agg as its first official garden ambassador for its Garden Centres by Homebase offering in The Range Superstores.

Alongside the in-store series, he will also create additional content sharing his own gardening experiences exclusively for The Range Superstores.
