IPM show increasingly popular for UK garden centres
|
IPM 2012 sees the largest number of UK exhibitors yet, many of who don’t exhibit at UK shows. This makes the event an important date for garden centres looking to source original plants. At the show last year, more than 1,500 exhibitors from 46 countries presented themselves to some 60,000 visitors from 94 countries.
There are two large national pavilions in Hall 3 (Technology – stand 3B51) and 10 (Nursery – 10C13 and 10C17) – organised by the Commercial Horticultural Association (CHA). Building on their first presence in the Technology Hall in 2011, CHA will showcase a range of products and services from UK horticultural specialists including water soluble and liquid fertilisers, professional grower substrates, retail plant displays, specialist film-clad structures and a range of hydroponic and lighting equipment, growing media and propagation products.
In Hall 10, British exhibitors will include the world’s leading breeder and propagator of English Pinks, an internationally recognised English rose breeder, a specialist micro-propagation company and one of the largest specialist clematis nurseries in the world. For the first time a world leading soft fruit nursery will exhibit, and they will be joined on the UK Pavilion by the manufacturer of a specialist root control system.
