Exhibitors at the HTA National Plant Show are being encouraged to get snapping for the 'Plant Selfies' photo competition. Simply take a photo on your phone or digital camera and email it to media.office@the-hta.org.uk  stating your name, company, email and category. Entries will be on display at the show and visitors will be asked to vote for their favourites.

The British Plant Fair Marketplace, sponsored by Container Centralen, gives visitors the opportunity to view shelf samples from many of the growers exhibiting at the show. Buyers simply make one order of any combination of stock and it will be delivered the week after the show in one load with one delivery note and one invoice.

New for 2014 is a comments board where visitors can leave their feedback on the show, what they liked, what they didn’t like and anything in-between.
