The Trials Grounds at Ball Colegrave (seen here last year) have been given a refreshing 'new look' for this year's Trade Summer Showcase.

"There has never been a more important time than now to seek out new ideas, explore innovation and embrace change," said a company spokesperson.

"So we have taken the lead with our Trials Grounds and given the site a refreshing ‘new look’, to make it more informative and a greater source of inspiration for all our customers."

What will visitors see during the Summer Showcase?

"For starters, the area dedicated to experimental patio plants has doubled in space so you can see more of what your varieties will look like in the future, new pathways lead to visionary vertical plant displays and additional planting recipes provide heaps of inspiration for the more creatively minded.

"And the rest? Well you will have to come and see for yourself!"

Throughout the open days there will be a daily presentation on New 2014 Varieties and always a friendly face to demonstrate services such as WebTrack, the company's popular online ordering service.

The Summer Showcase is open week days from Monday 15th July to Friday 2nd August from 9am to 5pm
