One of the most coveted accolades is the GIMA Sword of Excellence, and this year saw GARDENA UK take home the title thanks to its AquaBloom L, which utilises intuitive Micro-Drip technology to keep up to 30 plants thriving without the need for an outside tap or power source.

Commenting on the product, the judges said: “This really is a winner all round. It’s easy to use, doesn’t require power or even a tap, and offers a water-efficient solution for today’s busy gardener.”
