Spotlight on plants

The Salon du Végétal, held for the 18th time, attracted more than 17 000 visitors to the French town of Angers from 19 to 21 February 2003, or about five per cent more than the previous year. The spotlight was once again on live plants, a segment that attracted 65 per cent of this year’s 584 exhibitors. One fifth of the companies represented came from abroad.
