Garden centres will get the chance to connect with three different nurseries – Frank Matthews Trees, New Leaf Plants and The Bransford Webbs Plant Company – on the same day at the popular Roots to Retail event in 2026.

Entering its fourth consecutive year, this collaborative event will be held at Frank Matthews Trees in Tenbury Wells on Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th February.

Delegates attending will be given a tour of the Frank Matthews Trees site, whilst New Leaf Plants will give an informative presentation on their new marketing and promotional strategies for climbers in retail. 

Bransford Webbs will share the inside story on its Hebe breeding program, specifically highlighting the development of new varieties and the benefits these offer to both the retail customer and final consumer. Lunch will be provided on site. 

“We’re absolutely thrilled to be hosting Roots to Retail, especially as we will be celebrating our 125th year in 2026,” said Steph Dunn James, Managing Director of Frank Matthews Trees. 

“This event has become a real highlight for the industry, giving us the chance to welcome customers onto the nursery, share what we’re passionate about, and collaborate with our fantastic partners. It’s a wonderful opportunity to bring growers and retailers together, and we look forward to another inspiring and successful day.”
