All displays will be supported by the expertise of well known staging and POS companies such as Stagecraft, Floramedia, Timber Displays and C.

NEW: The Greatest Merchandising Team
Linking with Garden Trade News’ Greatest Awards, this year Glee will play host to the shortlisted ‘greatest merchandising’ teams, where each team will be tasked with creating an eye-catching and inspirational merchandising display. Each team will be given the same products and space, and will be pitted against the clock to create eye-catching displays. The Greatest Award judges will then select the overall winner, awarding the prize on Wednesday 21st September.
The Hothouse
The hub of Glee’s educational programme for retail managers, buyers and their teams, The Hothouse will be centrally located in the heart of Hall 5. With content developed in association with The HTA and The APL, The Hothouse will this year address burning industry issues including attracting the next generation gardener, new technology such as 2-D barcodes and the current trends & best practices for catering in garden centres. Added to this The Hothouse will also welcome ‘Gardening Question Time’, a brand new panel that will answer your questions as part of a lively and interactive debate.
The Glee Garden Angels
Glee’s very own Dragons Den-inspired showcase, the Garden Angels will see a series of business thinkers put forward their pitch for their product and business case.

Off the Shelf
Glee’s ‘Off the Shelf’ feature draws on the show’s key theme of retail inspiration. Taking products that are notoriously difficult to merchandise, the Glee team will build a series of displays throughout the show to demonstrate how effective outside-the-box thinking can be. Alongside each creative display will be an example of the standard display for each product, helping to illustrate the difference some fresh thinking can make.
Innovators Zone
Glee’s exciting Innovators Zone area, which was introduced in 2009, provides an at-a-glance chance to source innovative products from entrepreneurs and small-scale manufacturers who are taking their first steps into the market, or making their debut at Glee. The dedicated Innovators area will be located in Hall 5, where visitors can source brand new garden, leisure and pet products and help grass-roots businesses grow.

Hundreds of new products are set to launch at Glee this year. To make navigating them that bit easier, they will once again be collected in the Glee New Products areas.

The products featured will also be entered into Glee’s New Product Awards, where industry experts will select the next big thing across a range of categories.
