The Melcourt Bag for Life won the Best New Product Award at the Garden Press Event held at the Business Design Centre in London on Wednesday.
The innovative product was judged to be best in show by visitors to the event.
In an effort to reduce the amount of single-use plastic at garden centres, Melcourt has developed a unique system, including the Bag for Life.
A number of Melcourt’s growing media products are now available in a maxi-bale format, allowing garden centre customers to buy a Bag for Life and then keep refilling it with their chosen product.
The Bob Maker Memorial Award for Best Stand at the Garden Press Event went to Dobbies Garden Centres.
David Austin Roses received a Commendation for its Stand Display.
Denys & Feilding, exhibiting for the first time at the event, also received a Commendation for its Stand Display.
