TGA prepares for 2009 Turf Show
Biennial event being hosted at Q Lawns’ Norfolk turf farm in June
As summer draws nearer, preparations are taking place in earnest for the 2009 TGA Turf Show. The biennial event is being hosted by
Q Lawns at its turf farm at Hockwold, near Thetford, Norfolk on Wednesday 24th June, and is a ‘must see’ for everyone involved in the growing of turf for amenity, sports and landscaping. The event is a real showcase for the
wealth of expertise and superb products that combine to make TGA cultivated turf the best available. In previous years, growers have travelled from all over Europe to see the full range of specialist products and services available to them, including turf harvesters/stackers, mowers, irrigation equipment, forklifts, tyres, grass seed and fertilizer, cranes, tractors, parts and spares. As well as visiting exhibitors’ stands,
visitors can watch the latest innovations in plant and machinery being ‘tried and tested’ on the demonstration plots and enjoy locally-sourced refreshments throughout the day. Exhibitors currently include Moffett, British Seed Houses, Nutriscape, DLF Trifolium, Scotts, Campey Turfcare Systems, Manitou, Trimax, Trebro, Fieldens,
