Journées des Collections Jardin only virtual for the time being

The French garden trade show, Journées des Collections Jardin - JdC Garden Trends, will not take place as planned in Marseille from 12 to 14 May. Instead the organisers are offering a digital platform under the name JdC Connect, on which the 1 000-plus buyers originally registered for the show and the 360 exhibitors will be able to communicate, research and present products and arrange for listing discussions using audio and video tools. The platform is expected to go live on 27 April. Alternative solutions for staging the fair were being discussed with the companies, according to the organisers.
