The Horti House has been confirmed as the Official Plant Partner for Glee and Autumn Fair 2026, bringing greenery and natural inspiration to key spaces across both shows at the NEC Birmingham this September.
As part of the partnership, plants supplied by The Horti House will be seen throughout Glee and Autumn Fair, helping to transform some of the exhibitions’ busiest meeting, content and feature spaces. Look out for Hort House plants across the seminar stages, at the entrances to Halls 6 and 8, and within The Clubhouse in Hall 20, which will sit alongside Glee’s dedicated Green Heart and provide another welcoming, plant-filled space at the heart of the show.
The Horti House is on a mission to transform houseplant wholesale by creating a true one-stop shop for UK retailers. Bringing together the best of British-grown plants alongside carefully selected Dutch and European ranges, the business offers everything from foliage, flowering plants, orchids, cacti and succulents to ceramics, planted arrangements and CITES products. Combined with range planning, retail insight, product development and marketing support, The Horti House helps retailers of every size, from independent garden centres to national retail groups, build stronger, more commercially successful houseplant departments.
Ed Hill, Founder, The Horti House, said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Glee and Autumn Fair as the Official Plant Partner for 2026. It’s a fantastic opportunity to inspire retailers by showing how plants can do more, they can create engaging retail experiences, tell compelling stories and ultimately drive sales. We hope visitors leave with fresh ideas, practical inspiration and renewed confidence in the commercial potential of houseplants.”
Matthew Mein, Event Director for Glee and Autumn Fair, said: “We’re delighted to welcome The Horti House as our Official Plant Partner for 2026. It’s a natural fit for both shows. Plants are fundamental to garden retail, but they’re also an important part of how we style and enjoy our homes, from statement houseplants and windowsill displays to table decoration and balcony herb gardens.
“Having The Horti House on board gives us the opportunity to reflect that throughout the show itself, using plants to enhance key feature areas, whilst creating spaces that feel connected to the products and trends our visitors are there to discover.”
The partnership reflects The Horti House’s ambition to make houseplants easier to buy, easier to sell and more commercially successful for UK retailers. By combining leading British growers with the very best Dutch and European suppliers, alongside practical retail expertise, merchandising support and market insight, The Horti House continues to help retailers create inspiring plant departments that deliver stronger results for their businesses.
