GLEE exhibiton

This week the team has been to Glee (Garden, Leisure and Pet industry show) to see whats new and fresh for 2009. The general theme at the show which many of the trade stands were picking up on was ' Grow your Own'. A massive push in the retail trade towards growing your our fruit and vegetables in your own garden on on the patio. There was a distinct feel of the 70's self sufficiency about it but this time with a more than subtle hint of fashion about it.
We identified quite a few unusual and very useful ideas and gizmos so look out for these in our shop in the New Year. One thing that was very prevalent was a significant price increase on the horizon on many of the products we currently take for granted. Fertilisers, compost and wooden furniture look as if they will be increasing significantly in 2009.
