Garland set to launch 30 new products at Glee

On the 60th anniversary of the company’s formation, Garland Products is making a welcome return to Glee and introducing 30 new products for the 2026 season.

 

A new range of Coco Poles has been added to Garland’s product portfolio.  The poles are made from 100 per cent natural wood and coconut material, are fully biodegradable, and perfect for supporting climbing plants, especially house plants.  To enable stockists to provide maximum exposure of the range, which comprise 60cm, 80cm, 100cm and 120cm sizes, a purposely designed display stand is available for use in houseplant areas.

 

Garland’s range of jute products has been extended to include three sizes of Jute Rope Nets, which are a natural way of supporting climbing plants and vegetables.  Strong, yet flexible, the nets can easily be cut to different shapes and sizes.  The heavy-duty rope nets are perfect for bean frames and can be used against a wall for climbing plants like clematis and honeysuckle.  Fully biodegradable, the nets can be added to the compost heap after use.  There are also new Jute Plant Ladders, which are a natural way of supporting climbing plants and vegetables.  They are also perfect for training houseplants up and over walls. Available in green and natural colours, the 3m long x 4cm wide ladders can be cut to size. 

 

Additions have also been made to the company’s Brooms & Patio Range and new lower prices have been introduced across much of the range.  The new items are a Heavy Duty 46cm wide Bass Broom and two Premium Heavy-Duty Brooms measuring 46cm and 61cm wide.  These have an all-metal handle and screw fitting to provide maximum strength, and they both include a hose fitting that enables a hose to be attached to the broom head to give improved cleaning. 

 

Also new to the range is a heavy-duty Dust Pan and Brush for use both indoors and outdoors.  Lastly in the range is a new Patio Knife that is perfect for scraping out weeds and moss from between block paving and patio joints.

 

Garland’s best-selling Outdoor Furniture Cover Range has been extended to include five new covers that cater for the increasingly popular low lounge sets available in most garden centres. The covers fit sofa sets that have a low coffee table and each cover is available in two different fabrics.

 

The company’s sales director, Mark Dedman said: “We are excited to be showcasing our ever-expanding range of garden and hardware products at Glee this year at the same time as we mark 60 years since the formation of Garland Products.  We are also celebrating the opening of yet another brand-new warehouse facility as a mark of our continued investment in the future and our ongoing commitment to British manufacturing.  This new building is located on the same site as our Pensnett factory, ushering in the next chapter in our continued evolution.  Not only does the new warehouse bring more space and opportunity, it also brings with it a brand new, even larger showroom and conference facility.  This new hub of business finally brings everything under a single roof and it will become a new central point to our distribution network”.

                         

The Garland Products Group specialises in the manufacture of plastic injection moulded products and is one of the fastest growing suppliers to the garden industry.  The products available to both keen or hobby gardeners have beendesigned through the company’s own experience as keen gardeners.
