Making the most of all the new product opportunities


After what was acclaimed by most people as a very successful Glee, now’s the time to start making the most of all the new product opportunities showcased at this year’s show.

Over 300 products were entered into the New Product Showcase which was the starting point for many journeys around the show and a key point of reference during the three days.

The winners, along with many other exhibitors, all reported high levels of interest in the products with several large orders being placed immediately at the show. GTN Bestsellers understand that the Spear & Jackson Occasions Gift Range of etched essential garden tools presented in a gift box had received particularly high order levels from centres wanting to have it in stock for Christmas.

Glee New Products will also feature on BBC National airwaves, with Boyd Douglas-Davies from Hillview Garden Centres (pictured above) being interviewed by BBC Radio 4’s You and Yours programme.

Are you planning a display of innovative new products for your customers to build interest and sale for next year?

GTN Bestsellers Top 50 sales volumes compared to the same week last year...
  • Garden Products - down 23%
  • Veg-2-Gro Products - down 14%
  • Growing Media - down 11%
  • All Items Index - down 8%
