Exhibitor Press Releases

The surroundings of Houghton Hall Garden Centre are steeped in history. The outdoor plant area has been created from the original walled kitchen garden of Houghton Hall and is the perfect setting for choosing plants.

RDA was recently appointed by Whitegates Garden Nursery in North Yorkshire to transform its existing tea room into a contemporary country kitchen style cafe.

New products and new packaging will both be in the spotlight on the Creative Products stand at Glee (18 N30-P31).  The company, which offers a wide range of kitchen and housewares utensils and gadgets on a fully sale or return basis will unveil a host of additions to its range as well as the brand’s new heritage-inspired packaging.  The clotted cream and mushroom colours have proved a winner with existing customers and prospects to date.  Managing director of Creative Products, Mark Hall describes the new look as “a classic feel with a fresh contemporary twist.”

Sales opportunities which offer retailers ‘no risk’ are few and far between, but TV merchandising expert, Creative Products can make just that claim.  The company’s sales method could prove an irresistible option for cookshops and housewares retailers with its fully serviced merchandising system where products are supplied, promoted via instore TV, serviced and replaced on a fully sale or return basis.  

Creative Products is launching a new improved version of its immensely, popular Star Magic Christmas laser lights kit, adding new aesthetic and convenience features.  The original product was a massive seller for garden centres after it made its debut at last year’s Glee show, especially as it lends itself so well to Creative Products’ instore TV promotional advertising.

New seaweed concentrate set to transform plant performance for British gardeners

Mr Fothergill’s is marking 40 years of business in 2018 with what it is hailing as the most exciting development for home gardeners since the introduction of F1 hybrid seed varieties.

Mr Fothergill’s teams up with celebrity gardener to launch brand new seed range aimed at newcomers to grow-your-own

The new sweet pea blend is named after college patron Lady Salisbury. Lady Salisbury is a passionate gardener as reflected in the magnificent grounds at Hatfield House. She has visited the Mr Fothergill’s trials ground in previous years and demonstrated a keen interest in the work of the Suffolk seedsman in ensuring the quality of seed supplied.

The Suffolk Seed specialist has a long association with the world renowned horticultural college. Every year Mr Fothergill’s presents new spring and summer show gardens on the grounds and often provides seeds, plants and produce for Capel Manor projects and events. In previous years they have joined forces to host the National Sweet Pea Growing Competition, receiving entries from both amateur and expert gardeners from around the country.

The easy-grow annual is ideal for use on trellis, fences and frames, offering a long summer of colour and fragrance. The classic, highly scented, grandiflora blooms are cream and white, many with picotee edges in blue, pink or lavender. Being long-stemmed it is superb for cutting as well as garden display.

Sweet Pea Lady Salisbury is available for sowing this autumn or from January onwards, priced £2.45 for 20 seeds.

Structural timber canopy fabricated for Radway Garden Centre.

Mixing aesthetic with practicality, Fordingbridge recently installed a hybrid canopy at Bybrook Barn Garden Centre, part of the Longacres Group.

Fordingbridge recently completed their latest project at Hampsons Plant World, creating a five bay entrance and exit canopy which added an additional 532m2 sales area, as well as vastly improved Hampson’s kerb appeal. The canopy provides a covered plant sales area as customers enter the garden centre directly from the car park, and increases time spent by customers by making the environment more comfortable in all weathers, resulting in an immediate increase in footfall and turnover for the business.
