This year Glee have partnered up with Grow Your Own, a consumer magazine which will see the introduction of the prestigious Great British Growing Awards at the show this September.
These awards recognise all that is great within the gardening industry – from tool companies, to seed suppliers, garden writers to fruit nurseries and everything in between. The awards also recognise garden volunteers and community growing spaces.
The winners of the awards are voted for by the general public and readers of the Grow Your Own magazine, the awards ceremony and trophy presentation took place at Glee on Tuesday the 11th September.
In addition to the awards Glee worked closely with Grow Your Own on a consumer competition which saw 10 lucky consumers win the opportunity to attend Glee. As well as getting the chance to attend the show, the winners received a guided tour, access to the VIP lounge, complimentary refreshments and a VIP limited edition goodie bag.
