Make any garden beautiful with Altico’s new GardenScape Aggregates
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

Altico Garden Products is proud to announce the launch of GardenScape, a stylish new range of smaller decorative aggregate packs designed to meet the evolving needs of modern retailers and homeowners.

 

GardenScape is set to bring convenience, aesthetics and versatility to garden and home décor in 2026. With four variants for every space, GardenScape offers a curated selection of premium aggregates, each chosen for visual appeal and versatility.

Smaller Packs, Bigger Possibilities

With its lighter-weight format, GardenScape opens the door to new markets and customers, especially those tackling small to medium garden and home projects. The compact size makes it ideal for patio displays, indoor spaces and apartment balconies. It is also well suited to smaller retail environments, offering a more manageable pack size for transport and handling.

Each variant is showcased on a bespoke lifestyle stand with integrated POS, designed to inspire, and drive sales. The vibrant, floral-themed, full-colour packaging enhances shelf appeal and reinforces GardenScape’s brand identity.

 

Make Any Garden Beautiful

The arrival of GardenScape comes as Altico launches its most inspiring campaign yet: Make Any Garden Beautiful. In collaboration with expert garden designer Katie Rushworth, Altico is set to inspire outdoor spaces across the UK in 2026. The campaign features two stylish garden themes designed by Katie, combining Altico’s decorative aggregates and rockery with plants and other accessories sold in garden centres.

 

With Katie’s expert advice featured across new Altico aggregate displays, shoppers will gain trusted guidance and instant inspiration. Eye-catching feature boards, QR-code-linked video content and clear signposting will enhance the shopper experience, drive multi-category sales, and help garden centres unlock new opportunities.

 

For retailers ready to add something fresh and inspiring to their landscaping category, contact the Altico team at salesoffice@altico.co.uk to join the Make Any Garden Beautiful movement.
