Altico Garden Products celebrates GIMA Awards success
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

Altico Garden Products is proud to announce its outstanding success at the prestigious GIMA Awards held at Celtic Manor, where the company was recognised for innovation in two product categories. This included being honoured with the top prize in the Garden Lighting, Water Features & Ornamentation category for its Whirlpool Water Feature.

 

The Whirlpool Water Feature captivated judges with its bold design and technical ingenuity. This innovative centrepiece showcases a mesmerizing vortex whirlpool effect, enhanced by integrated LED lighting that creates a dynamic and immersive visual experience. Unlike traditional water features, the Whirlpool delivers a sense of movement and energy, making it a standout addition to any garden space.

 

Crafted with elegance and attention to detail, the feature is embossed with tropical leaf patterns in calming grey-green tones. The result is a refined, contemporary aesthetic that blends natural inspiration with modern design perfect for elevating outdoor living environments. Impressed by this unique water feature, the GIMA judges praised Whirlpool for delivering a striking visual impact.

The evening was a celebration of innovation, creativity, and excellence in the gardening industry, and Altico were delighted to be commended for their innovative products - also receiving finalist awards for three additional products:

  • The Courtyard Water Feature, recognized in the same category for its timeless classic architectural lines and a calming water flow, evoking the charm of traditional courtyard fountains while offering a contemporary finish.
  • The British Nature Stepping Stones and British Wildlife Stepping Stones, which both earned a finalist place in the Garden Landscaping category, celebrating their authentic textures and homage to native British landscapes and wildlife.

Andrew Mallory, Marketing Manager at Altico said “We loved celebrating the incredible innovation happening across the gardening sector at the GIMA Awards. Altico’s achievements at the awards are a testament to the expertise, hard work and creativity of our team, and we’re excited to keep pushing boundaries in the garden landscaping category in 2026.”
