Fire crews are investigating the cause of a blaze at a garden centre.

Fire engines were called to the Coolings Garden Centre on Rushmore Hill at 12.30am after an outbuilding caught fire.

A spokesman for Kent Fire and Rescue Service said: "Three pumps were sent to the incident and it took just over three hours to tackle."

The fire started in the metal framed structure which contained a quantity of timber pallets which is now completely burnt out.

A spokesman for Coolings Garden Centre said: "The incident has not caused any disruption to its surrounding area, the centre, customers or any wildlife. The fire started in a building used for storage, and we are now carrying on with business as usual."

The cause is still being investigated.
