Part of the HENRY BELL family, Constant Garden Collection is a new premium brand of faux plants for home and garden, that was launched at the Glee trade show in September. In the last few years, faux houseplants have seen a surge in popularity driven by an increased demand from consumers, especially millennials, opting for artificial plants and flowers to decorate their home and landscape. “Until recently artificial plants and flowers were seen as a major interior faux pas, but this has all changed now. Social media and the rise of interior influencers creating stunning decors using fake greenery injected a new lease of life into the category. It was only a matter of time before consumers caught up and embraced the many benefits of faux,” says commercial director, Tony Clare.


Tony, who has over 20 years’ experience in the retail sector, spotted a gap in the market for a range of quality faux plants and flowers that would also offer good value for money. He carefully handpicked manufacturers to create the Constant Garden Collection and has now unveiled a range of plants and flowers with realistic designs, colours and textures that look as good as real botanicals and will stand the test of time. “The Constant Garden Collection offers the very best in faux. We worked


very hard to select and create a beautifully designed range that is truly realistic but also affordable. An investment in faux plants is low maintenance and cost effective and we see huge potential for our brand which we know professionals and consumers will love,” concludes Tony. The launch range of 60 products includes faux roses, bamboos, plants, grass, orchids, hanging flowers baskets and faux topiary, enabling consumers to create stunning and timeless features inside and outside. The range will also include seasonal collections, identical to their ‘real’ siblings. n 01476 565761 n www.henry-bell.co.uk

As part of its ongoing commitment to reducing the impact of paint on the environment, experts at DULUX Trade with Veolia have created a ground-breaking matt emulsion made from 35 per cent recycled paint.


Named ‘Evolve’, this revolutionary


product is made from the leftover paint that remains in tins after use, in a bid to reduce the amount of paint going to waste. To create Dulux Trade Evolve, the brand has partnered with resource management expert Veolia, to extract and reprocess unused white paint from tins at its recycling centres. In doing so, Dulux Trade has reduced the carbon footprint of each litre of Evolve paint produced by more than 10 per cent. Veolia collects paint deposited by


residents at their household waste recycling centres and takes it to its remanufacturing plant. The paint is refined and filtered before being transported to a manufacturing facility where it is combined with new paint, re-engineered and tested extensively, ensuring that every tin on sale maintains the high standards expected of Dulux Trade. Evolve is available in white only at present. n www.duluxtrade.co.uk/evolve
