As one season closes, another unfolds before us, and this latest edition of the GIMA Buyers Guide & New Product Digest serves as the ideal companion for navigating the challenges and opportunities that 2025 will undoubtedly bring.

Recent years have shown us that ‘normal’ is no longer something we can count on – whether it’s global crises or unpredictable weather patterns, one constant remains: garden retail is remarkably resilient.

Time and time again, our industry rises to the occasion, diversifying and futureproofing to meet whatever lies ahead. And the following pages are proof of just that.

This Guide is your roadmap to what’s next. It’s packed with groundbreaking new products, time-tested favourites, and fresh merchandising ideas designed to captivate and engage today’s consumers. As always, we’re seeing brands step up, offering solutions that drive profitability and push us toward a more sustainable future. But beyond the products, we also celebrate something bigger – gardening’s role in improving mental and physical wellbeing, which has never been more recognised or valued.

What excites me most is the sheer variety of categories now thriving in garden retail. While core gardening remains our foundation, complementary ranges are attracting new customers and transforming garden centres into vibrant retail destinations - places the high street can only dream of. This evolution is reflected in GIMA’s own membership, which continues to grow, welcoming both established names and exciting newcomers. 

Our GIMA Innovators Seed Corn winner, Potr, is a prime example of the fresh energy and ideas shaping the future, with award-winning recognition across both trade and consumer markets already under its belt.

This Guide is more than just a catalogue – it’s an invaluable resource that will inspire and support your business well into 2025. I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to all who have contributed to this edition. And remember, GIMA is here to help you every step of the way, with a full calendar of events, including the much-anticipated GIMA Awards, where we’ll continue to celebrate the innovation, creativity, and excellence that define our industry.

Here’s to an exciting, profitable, and forward-thinking season ahead!

At Capi, we are always looking for innovative and sustainable ways to create planters. Take, for example, the Made With collection. This is a collection of indoor pots crafted with recycled materials. Each colour in this collection is made with a different residual stream, transforming waste into something functional and beautiful. The collection already included black pots made with textile, beige pots made with sawdust and green pots made with artificial grass. 

This year, Capi expands the collection with pots made with rice husk, available in the colours Warm Taupe and Peachy Fuzz. Warm Taupe is a warm, natural colour that goes with everything. Peachy Fuzz is a fresh colour that brings a dose of happiness to any room. These pots are made with 97% recycled materials, with Rice husk being the

primary residual stream.

Additionally, a gold edition of the black pots (made from textile) is being launched, also made with 97% recycled materials. The golden touch adds a festive flair, making it perfect for the upcoming Christmas season!

Each pot tells a story of repurposing and transforming one of these residuals into something beautiful. You not only enhance your indoor space but also contribute to the reduction of waste.

All the Made With planters are 100% recyclable, fracture resistant and come with a lifetime warranty. This way, the pots are suitable for different plants and spaces, providing endless possibilities for adding green in your interior.

Forest Garden’s top tips for bringing big style to small spaces.

Homeowners are looking to transform the most compact of outdoor spaces, according to new research from Forest Garden – the UK’s leading manufacturer and distributor of wooden garden products.

Using data from Pinterest, Forest Garden found searches soaring over the last month for ‘small garden’ terms, with ‘small back garden’ up 100%, ‘small city garden’ up 90% and ‘small garden design’ up 100%.

Jenny Davis, Head of Marketing for Forest Garden, said: “Homeowners are making use of every inch of their outdoor space. From vertical gardens packed with colourful blooms to cosy seating spaces nestled in the tiniest nooks, homeowners are looking for clever solutions to maximise functionality and aesthetics in limited space”

Designing a small garden

Less is more in a small garden but that doesn’t mean everything needs to be small. A lot of small elements can create a very cluttered feel, so you may be better off choosing bigger more dominant features and planting to balance the space.

The sky’s the limit

Think about growing plants on walls, training them upwards or hanging them from a structure such as trellis, our living screen planter (great for rental properties as it doesn’t need 

Multi-functional fixtures

Clever multi-purpose usage of areas is going to be the ideal situation. A space that works for two different purposes. Think about storage under bench seating rather than free-standing garden furniture. Raised beds or linear planters that can also act as dividers.

Forest Garden’s fold-down garden bar provides a brilliant entertaining space and when not in use can be folded away almost flush with the wall.

When it comes to small garden spaces and courtyard gardens, every choice and every inch counts. Applying key design principles can turn even the most compact courtyard into a lush, inviting hideaway with focal points leading the eye and space maximised through the use of vertical gardening. to be fixed to a wall) or our vertical slatted wall planter.

Johnsons Lawn Seed, a trusted name in lawn seed innovation for over 200 years, is delighted to unveil its latest product, Nature’s Lawn with Native Mowable Wildflowers.

As one of the oldest lawn seed brands in the UK, Johnsons Lawn Seed is renowned for providing high-quality seed mixes that are tailored to British gardens, blending tradition with cutting-edge research.

Nature’s Lawn with Mowable Wildflowers is an innovative blend designed for gardeners who want to introduce biodiversity to their lawns without sacrificing functionality. The mix combines lawn grasses with eight UK native perennial wildflowers, such as Birdsfoot Trefoil, Black Knapweed, and Lady’s Bedstraw, which tolerate regular mowing and provide food for pollinators like butterflies and bumblebees.

The seed blend includes Strong Creeping Red Fescue, Chewings Fescue, Hard Fescue, and other grasses chosen for their durability, drought tolerance, and shade resistance. This ensures that the lawn remains lush and usable, while the wildflowers add vibrant colour and ecological benefits.

Over time, these flowers will naturally self-seed, enhancing the lawn’s appearance year after year.

Johnsons Lawn Seed recommends allowing parts of the lawn to grow longer to encourage the wildflowers to flourish, creating a dynamic space that changes with the seasons. Unlike traditional meadows, this mix stays. manageable and won’t grow too tall, offering the best of both worlds for garden enthusiasts.

Nature’s Lawn with Mowable Wildflowers joins Johnsons Lawn Seed’s diverse portfolio of premium lawn care products, including Tuffgrass for hard-wearing lawns, Quick Lawn for fast-growing results, Luxury Lawn for a finer finish, and Shady Place, designed for shaded areas. 

The portfolio also features eco-friendly options like Country Meadow Mix and Celebration Wildflowers, further supporting biodiversity. This new addition reflects Johnsons’ commitment to innovation and sustainability across a wide range of lawn care solutions.

Marriage’s showcased the fresh new rebrand of their small animal and indoor bird categories at PATS in September and received an outstanding response.

It marks the first phase of the brand’s new identity, which will be extended across other ranges later in the year. The stand at PATS focused primarily on promoting Marriage’s new look and formulations for the small animal and indoor bird ranges, with attendees also given a sneak preview of the rebranded poultry range.

The new eye-catching pack designs reflect the premium quality of the ranges. Clear product names and key call outs bring the product features and benefits to life on the pack face, for greater clarity of proposition on shelf.

Every product category now utilises an assigned colour scheme, which has helped to improve in-store merchandising. The rebrand also offers a greater range of pack formats and sizes to choose from, giving customers better choices and making for distinctive in-store displays.

Enhanced indoor and aviary bird range

With 22 products in the new indoor and aviary bird range, every mix is packed with multiple tasty and wholesome ingredients. The parrot, cockatiel, parakeet and lovebird foods contain an extra variety of colours, tastes and textures to help provide opportunities for foraging, physical manipulation and mental stimulation.

Bigger and better small animal range

The complete range of 13 premium quality Nutri Pressed small animal feeds have been formulated specifically for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats and mice. Each product is unique and has been meticulously formulated based on published scientific research to provide a wholesome, flavoursome and balanced diet that helps support optimum health and well-being.

Meadow View Stone wowed customers with a collection of new products, new ranges, new Point of Sale and award-winning AR technology on their stand at Glee.

Reporting their best show to date, the company delivered a master class on how to merchandise their category with their striking product display gardens, which featured their new fresh, impactful Point of Sale design.

Jess Dabell, Brand Manager, said: “We were thrilled to receive overwhelmingly positive feedback on our new products, ranges, and Point of Sale and customers were very complementary about the design of the stand, which was a big step change for us this year. To be shortlisted for THREE product awards and receive the award for Best Retail Services for our Augmented Reality is a real honour – against some very stiff competition.”

Understanding the changes in market trends is a fundamental catalyst for the company’s NPD. The launch of their new Flexi-Fix edging was as a result of witnessing the decline in traditional concrete/natural stone edging, leading them to seek new innovative contemporary alternatives. Similarly, as traditional rectangular slab sales have slowed, the company launched a collection of NINE new Premium Porcelain Stepping Stones which are unique to Meadow View Stone so further expands on the company’s range of unique products.

A new Eden Collection of pouch bags for their horticultural grits and sands was also launched and these were endorsed by a social media influencer called Chris Jesson. Chris provided how-to guides and step-by-step videos, which are accessible via QR codes on the resealable pouch bags, to help better direct customers, of when, how and why to use these more functional products.

At Empathy by PlantWorks Ltd, we understand the challenges of using peat-free compost. Peat-free alternatives often lack the essential microorganisms needed for optimal plant growth, making it difficult for customers to achieve the desired results. 

To address these issues, we’re excited to introduce our new Bioactive Compost Improver and Grow Bag Improver, designed specifically to enhance the performance of peat-free compost.

Our Compost Improver is a unique blend infused with beneficial bacteria that targets the shortcomings of peat-free growing mediums. The living microorganisms in the improver actively colonise the rhizosphere – the region around the plant’s roots – to significantly boost nutrient use efficiency. This results in healthier, more resilient plants with better establishment and growth. In addition to our Compost Improver, we are excited to introduce our Grow Bag Improver, specifically designed to meet the needs of vegetable and tomato growers. This product offers a tailored solution for maximising plant health and yields in grow bags.

Both products are available for pre-season ordering and are ideal for link selling with compost throughout the year. By offering these products alongside your regular compost and grow bags, you can provide your customers with a complete, sustainable growing solution that enhances plant health and performance.

Each 300g pouch has an SSP of £5.25 and is packaged in recyclable material, which can be recycled with shopping bags at any large supermarket. Stock up and help your customers achieve exceptional growth in their gardens, peat-free!

POTR designs and manufactures flat pack, self-watering planters made from waste, designed to be posted directly through your letterbox.

Origami innovation is used to transform recycled plastic into a sustainable, minimal pot engineered to take the guesswork out of plant care using the inbuilt watering system which keeps your flora thriving.

The design of the plant pot has remained largely unchanged for five millennia with little thought going into its carbon footprint. POTR has embraced a holistic approach to sustainable design, resulting in a unique product range which places environmental impact at the core of the product design.

A life cycle analysis of a traditional plant pot was conducted, uncovering the carbon hotspots associated with the entire product lifecycle. Surprisingly, shipping was identified as a major carbon footprint contributor with traditional plant pots due to shipping large, heavy and fragile volumes of air, often requiring single use protective wrapping. Manufactured in their thousands, these fragile objects require excess room on transportation which equates to high carbon footprints and expensive shipping costs.

This insight inspired the team to study origami, which led to the development of the flat-packed design, reducing the carbon footprint by over 100 times, eliminating wasted volume and weight. This also ensures easy deliveries through standard-sized UK letterboxes, and space optimisation in retail environments.

POTR Pots are made from 0.5mm thick recycled polypropylene sheet which reduces material usage by an incredible 95% compared to traditional pots (often made from 10mm thick material). This reduction can be observed when weighing a POTR Pot (approx 100g) vs a traditional pot (approx 2kg). Whatsmore, our sheet material is made from waste polypropylene plastic destined for landfill helping contribute to a circular economy.

Considering user needs, POTR integrated a self-watering system with a reservoir in the pot’s base, supported by a capillary action wicking cord. This innovation not only caters to busy lifestyles but also ensures plant longevity, reducing unnecessary wastage of houseplants and their associated carbon footprint.

In an industry first, the ecofective range take a leap forward to sustainable flexible pouch packaging across its entire range, breaking the norm of plastic bottles and giving retailers a wonderful opportunity to support sustainable solutions.

Less Plastic, Less Energy, Less Waste

A stand-out addition in 2024 was ecofective 

Slug Stoppa, a first to market spray pouch that protects plants from slugs and snails, without hurting them. Slug Stoppa, voted best new product at Glee 2024, is a joy to use with the ergonomically designed ‘thumb pump’ trigger attached to a flexible pouch that has up to 55% less plastic than a conventional rigid spray bottle. The flexible pouch is more compact and lightweight than a rigid bottle and consumes less energy throughout its lifecycle, resulting in less waste to collect, sort and recycle!

Due to the success of Slug Stoppa spray pouches, there are three brand new additions to the ecofective range in this format. Bug Stoppa controls greenfly, blackfly, spider mite, scale insect and more. Disease Stoppa shields plants against common diseases including powdery mildew by creating an invisible barrier against disease spores. Rose Defender provides nutrients for vibrant healthy roses whilst also controlling bugs and mildew.

Additionally, for those who want to re-use their Slug Stoppa trigger, they can now purchase the new Slug Stoppa Replacement Pouch which attaches to the existing trigger, saving the consumer £1 when compared to buying a brand-new spray pouch.

Less Waste, More Impact

As well as providing environmental benefits, the pouch packaging has a high impact in store using the entire surface area for branding, resulting in a seamless attractive design. The pouches are also weather-proof allowing merchandising in both indoor and undercover outdoor environments, providing link sale opportunities.

Whilst having fantastic on-shelf appeal, there are also merchandising displays and POS options available to give extra sales support.

Witt’s Pizza oven range has been wowing reviewers and customers with ultra-fast heating and rotating technology since its launch, gaining 5-star reviews in publications such as Ideal Home, Modern Gardens, T3 and The Independent.

Inspired by the popularity of the 16” Etna Rotante gas fired pizza oven; Witt UK & Ireland is proud to introduce the Piccolo Rotante 13” model. The success of the original Rotante led Witt to create a more compact yet equally powerful version of the award-winning pizza oven with rotating stone, bringing artisan pizza to even more people, no matter the space constraints.

The Piccolo Rotante’s 13” design is the ideal solution for those who love pizza but are short on space. Considerably more compact and lighter than the original 16” pizza making Etna Rotante, this gas-powered oven fits perfectly on apartment balconies, small patios, and other confined outdoor areas.

Featuring the beloved rotating stone that made the Etna Rotante a standout, this innovative design ensures even cooking, giving a perfectly crispy crust and evenly melted toppings every time. The rotating stone takes the guesswork out of baking, allowing both novice cooks and seasoned chefs to achieve consistently excellent results with ease.

Witt is a Danish brand with a 30-year history of developing and marketing some of the finest household products. Combining sleek Scandinavian design with authentic Italian cooking, this premium pizza oven offers exceptional build quality and class-leading features throughout. The design boasts the market’s fastest heat-up (15 mins), true 500-degree cooking, and a robust, weatherproof design.

The Witt Piccolo Rotante is the ultimate addition to any outside living space, offering retailers a top-reviewed and rated product to capitalise on the UK’s home pizza-making boom.
