When you visit the Panacea Products stand (20C25), spare a thought for the 350 blacksmiths in their production facilities hammering out their magnificent forged range of decorative garden products.

Panacea are one of the best-known brands in the category back in their native US, and have now set up a UK company to market more than 600 products new to this country – including that magnificent forged range.

You’ll find hanging basket brackets, shepherd hooks, hanging baskets, plants stands and metal fencing products in a huge range of attractively different designs. Ask about their heavy-duty obelisks, which deserve to find a ready market here.

Panaceas are committed to a rolling programme of some 75 new products every season – so creative director Bernie Paniccia, the founder’s son, suggests you watch this space…
