British garden sector at Glee

Around 500 companies will be represented at the British garden fair Glee. Approximately 80 per cent of these firms are based in Great Britain. New products will be presented in the categories Garden Care, Garden Design and Landscaping, Garden Leisure, Plants & Nursery, Food and Catering, Retail Services, Pet and Home, Gifts & Clothing. Entrepreneurs will also be putting forward new ideas in an Innovators Zone. The fair takes place from 14 to 16 September in Birmingham.
A new addition this year is the Buyers & Expert Connect Initiative. This is being offered by the government department UKTI (UK Trade & Investment) in conjunction with Gardenex, the Federation of Garden & Leisure Manufacturers, and is intended to bring British companies and international buyers and industry experts together. Once again, the accompanying programme of events includes seminars and talks organised by UKTI and the Horticultural Trade Association (HTA).
