In an exciting move Johnsons Lawn Seed is launching its recharged branding at Glee 2016. Waving goodbye to its old packaging design which has graced the shelves of retailers for the last decade, the new look Johnsons Lawn Seed will mark a new era for the UK’s favourite consumer lawn seed provider.

Born from a desire to create something new and exciting for the garden retail market, as well as a direct result of ongoing feedback from a number of focus groups and consumer research, Johnsons Lawn Seed’s new look offers something completely different to what is currently already available.

With a strong colour palette, the new packaging takes a step away from the green colours that dominate garden centre shelves and creates an eye-catching display with its charcoal grey and accent colour collection, which directly correlates to each product in the range. With updated front of pack information, plus an easy to understand seed data section, it has never been easier or quicker for consumers to make educated purchases at the point of sale.

Each pack also features a QR code which, when scanned, leads consumers to Johnsons’ quick advice YouTube videos, plus each box comes complete with a re-sealable side, increasing its shelf-life.

Guy Jenkins from DLF, Johnsons Lawn Seed’s parent company said: “The redesign of the packaging has been a work in progress for some time. It was important that we got it right, which is why we have taken our time to consult with the latest market research and consumer focus groups, as well as working with our retail customers to create a style and look that met the combined needs and wants. Our new packaging is slick, contemporary and creates a real point of difference within the retail environment. What’s more, it makes it easy for customers to find the right lawn seed for their gardens simply by glancing at the front of the box! We hope the industry loves it as much we do!”

To match the new packaging, the Johnsons Lawn Seed stand at Glee 2016 (18H26-K25) has also been updated. Featuring aspects of the fun consumer advertising artwork that has been created for the 2017 season, the new stand will be the perfect backdrop for the new packaging. A special ‘recharged’ giveaway will also be taking place throughout the show to help celebrate this exciting milestone for the brand.

Green Lawn Technology

Johnsons Lawn Seed’s new packaging comes at a time when the company has been heavily investing in the product inside the box. Earlier this year, the company brought to market one of the most exciting lawn seed innovations for many years.  Rolled out across its General Purpose, Tuffgrass, Quick Fix and Quick Lawn products, the new formula lawn seed represented a significant evolution within lawn seed technology. Marked as ‘Green Lawn Technology’ on the new packaging, Johnsons Lawn Seed will be investing time and effort in 2017 to further communicate the benefits of this new technology to end users.

Guy Jenkins added: “We are passionate about delivering a product that achieves real results for customers. Our ‘Green Lawn Technology’ has been developed through years and years of dedicated R&D. Put simply this new technology means that a lawn grown from our seed will benefit from a number of time and money saving benefits – including quicker germination and establishment, the ability to sow at temperatures as low as 3°C, improved colour, better drought tolerance and the need to water and fertilise less regularly compared to other lawn seed products. This new technology really is a game changer, and we’re excited to continue to roll this out into the market”

Whitefurze have launched a new range of self-watering planters at Glee. The Boston range delivers on design, function and value and was unveiled on stand 18K20.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, the new Boston range features a self-watering system which guarantees a balanced water supply for optimum plant growth. A specially-designed insert tray in the base of each planter creates a water reservoir which keeps the soil moist; reducing watering intervals and keeping plants fresh and healthy even when regular watering is not possible.

“The versatile nature of these products will make them popular with consumers” says Managing Director Philip Lanni. “Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, the Boston range is ideal for establishing a growing area whether you have a garden, patio, conservatory or balcony”.

Matching overflow saucers available separately mean the range is suitable for growing flowering plants, herbs, fruit and vegetables both indoors and outdoors.

The range is being exhibited in five sizes and four contemporary colours.

“Glee is an excellent launch pad for new products. We have historically embarked on major garden launches at the show and this has been a contributor to the success and growth we have experienced,” says Philip Lanni.

The Coventry based manufacturer will also strengthen its core gardening category with the addition of new traditional tub and planter lines. New Blacksmith tubs will be on show in two sizes and the well-established Athens range will be enhanced with the addition of four new planters.

“We expect to generate a great deal of interest as we present new products and new ranges at this key industry event," says Philip.

“Our frequent new product launches reflect our commitment to product quality and choice and ensure we are able to offer retailers a wide selection of products across our comprehensive range”.

Tildenet’s first Glee with the Bosmere business acquired seven months ago sees the company offering around 100 new products in a brand portfolio that includes Haxnicks and the Tildenet range itself.

Managing director Andrew Downey views the addition of Bosmere as a significant strategic move that takes the company in new products categories, including the popular and fast-growing garden covers market dominated by Bosmere for many years.

“I have always thought Bosmere was a wonderful business but we had not originally planned to buy it,” Andrew told Glee Daily News today. “But when the opportunity came up, we saw it was an ideal way forward for us, reinforcing out strong relationship with the independents and our strength across core gardening.”

Bosmere, with its impressive NPD track record, fits well with Tildenet’s approach to innovation, following the distribution deal completed two years ago with Damian Cardozo’s Haxnicks business, renowned for its inspiring new designs.

Andrew says Tildenet, a family business started in 1971 and now empoloying around 60 people, has also worked hard on its customer service and order fulfillment levels, building an enviable reputation in the trade. The Bosmere division is now well on the way to achieving the group’s average 98% fulfillment rate.

Tildenet recently closed Bosmere’s Gatwick depot, opening a new warehouse in Bristol to bring the group’s total warehousing capacity to 120,000 sq.ft.

Among the new ideas you’ll see on the stand today are the simple but effective Boot Clamps, a Pergola Extension Kit enabling users to build their own ‘tunnels’, the Haxnicks Easy Table Garden with built-in self-watering, new endorsement from celebrity gardener Pippa Greenwood across the Haxnicks brand and 'Snip It' mini secateurs in a retail-ready counter-top display (pictured right, with Andrew Downey).

Tildenet can be found in Hall 19 (19G30).

Malcolm Scott Consultants (17T59) launched its enhanced service offering and its brand new garden concept at Glee yesterday.

The planning consultancy was acquired earlier this year by Harris Lamb, and both businesses met with guests to introduce some of the key new services available to clients.

Malcolm (pictured left on the stand today with Neil Harris) said: “Harris Lamb has a wealth of end-to-end property consultancy services which, combined with our extensive experience of garden centre planning and design, means we are well-placed to provide additional specialist advice and support to garden and leisure sector clients.

 “The existing Malcolm Scott Consultants (hyperlink to website) team relocated to new offices to integrate with the business, working particularly closely with the Rating, Retail, Development, Land sales and Construction teams, all of which are able to work with us to add value and insight to our offering,” he added.

The business also took the opportunity to unveil its Garden Centre 2020 concept; a new garden retail experience that brings together a passion for life.

Malcolm explained: “We started to look at this concept some time ago. The HTA has gone on the record to voice its concerns about the alarming decline in home and garden ownership amongst the new generation and its impact upon gardening sales, but that is only part of the problem: fundamentally there has been a shift in people’s attitude to work outside paid employment.

 “Increasingly, people don’t want to work hard during their day, and then spend their free time laboriously too – they want to enjoy a more relaxed, sociable lifestyle with friends and family. That doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate, or want, an attractive garden, but that their time is more limited and that it needs to be lower maintenance.

 “As such, we’ve developed Garden Centre 2020, a new-look garden centre for the next decade, which will blend the best of traditional centres with a new, fun presentation. We want to create a destination to offer experiential products and services along with a wider specialist range for committed and seasoned gardeners.”
To find out more about the combination of Garden Centre planning, design and support services and property management services, visit the team on stand 17T59 during the remainder of the exhibition.

A totally new range of environmentally-sensitive feed, weed and control products from one of the world’s leading plant technology companies was launched at Glee yesterday, making the best professional technology available to British amateur gardeners.

The Ecofective range from Milan-based family business Sipcam is made exclusively in Britain with clear objective to be kinder to the environment than conventional products, include ingredients with favourably eco-toxicological and health and safety profiles (using naturally derived ingredients where possible) and to demonstrate excellent efficacy.

Garden centre supplies, with accompanying in-store POS and marketing support, will be handled exclusively by Decco.

A UK team of 11 has been set up, with a home and garden division under the leadership of Matt Jones, formerly managing director of Doff Portland and a technical team headed by Dr Anne Noble and Bob Hand, both specialists in plant nutrition and regulated products.

“We are taking a very long view, having recognized the opportunities and potential for our products in the British domestic garden market,” said Matt. “Sipcam is a €500m family-owned business that has been trading for 70 years. Our technology has been developed following many years of strategic R&D in co-operation with leading international universities. This provides us with a unique skills set in what is an already overcroweded market.”

Research shows that UK gardeners seek environmentally responsible ways to help them. Ecofective makes the bio-technologies we have developed available to them in attractive and easily usable forms – particularly relevant now as an increasing number of pesticides, active ingredients and conventional checmicals are being withdrawn, often due to environmental concerns.”

The range includes Rose Defender (to control aphids and mildew, plus foliar feed), Weed Blast (weedkiller based on acetic acid, offering visible results after one hour), Patio & Path Weed and Moss Killer, a clay granule slug barrier, a non-pesticide Plant Defender and an organic Wonder Feed for tomatoes favoured by commercial organic growers.

PETER RABBIT MERCHANDISER

The inviting Peter Rabbit display unit has been specifically created to support the retailer with point of sale (POS) and has been designed to maximise stock capacity and variation. Comprising of a four-sided, freestanding unit, the merchandiser comes complete with interactive POS boards and colourful character images of Peter Rabbit and his friends to capture the attention of children and parents alike.

LAURA ASHLEY MERCHANDISER

Designed with a ‘shop in shop’ concept in mind, the Laura Ashley merchandiser creates a true destination point in store. With the addition of seasonal impulse tags, the timber unit provides year-round merchandising support for Treadstone’s popular Laura Ashley range of gardening accessories.

Catering outsourcing company Compass Group were celebrating at Glee today after winning the show’s New Product Award’s retail experiences and services category.

Compass deliver fully outsourced cafes and restaurants for retailers who choose not to run their own but want their catering to match the business’s quality offering and brand values.

“We call ourselves a ‘silent partner’,” said Compass’s business development manager Ed Fletcher, “because as far as the customers are concerned we are part of the garden centre’s own operation. Nobody is aware that it is outsourced.”

Compass takes full responsibility for all aspects of the client’s catering, including menu planning and development, employing staff, choosing suppliers and health and safety.

“One of the biggest benefits for our clients is that we can keep the offer fresh. Clients who run their own catering often don’t have the time or resources to do that but it’s a central part of our approach. We run it as if it were our own business.”

Increased average basket spend, dwell time and customer satisfaction are often achieved, as well as a significant concession return for clients.

Weber’s UK launch of the upgraded Genesis barbecue at Glee yesterday heralded what will be the company’s biggest ever marketing campaign when it kicks off next spring.

Genesis has been a popular top-end gas barbecue since the original hit the market in 1985, but the new range, split between entry level Genesis II and the premium Genesis LX, includes a host of flexible model options to appeal to a wider audience than ever and hit affordable as well as luxury price points. Two-, three-, four- and six-burner options will be available on both platforms when the range reaches retail in January.

Marketing director Chris Trewhitt says next year’s Genesis marketing campaign will launch on 18 March in the run-up to the 2017 barbecuing season and will include TV ads.

Other big news from Weber at Glee today includes the UK launch of iGrill, the digital thermometer that links to a digital cooking temperature display and can cooking data to an iPad app.

There is also a compact Weber shop-in-shop merchandising option borrowing many of the elements of the full Weber World shops but on a footprint that is around 20% smaller yet can still display 34 grills.

Chris says the training of retail staff will continue to be a major priority for Weber. “There’s nothing better when you’re shopping than a member of staff you can trust because they have the right knowledge,” he said.

The prize for the longest journey undertaken to attend Glee this year must go to Tim and Jan Miller…who travelled 18 hours in an RAF passenger jet from the Falklands!

Tim and Jan set up Stanley Nursery & Garden Centre on the island in the late 1980s and have been visiting Glee on average very other year for the past 20 years to buy stock.

Jan has day to day responsibility for the garden centre (turnover c£150,000) that serves the islands’ population of 3000, while Tim takes care of Stanley Growers, its sister market garden business.

Tim was born and bred in the islands. In fact, his great great grandfather, who once served in the Household Cavalry, was among those tasked by Queen Victoria to “go forth and colonise my Empire”.



Tim and Jan Miller on the Dalefoot stand with Pauline Lewington.

Tim says there is no shortage of keen gardeners in the Falklands, despite weather conditions that can be harsh at times. While conditions are generally similar to the Western Isles off the Scottish coast, the combination in spring (our autumn) of predictably strong winds and sunshine scorches the new growth of deciduous trees, making wind fencing or hedging essentials for gardeners. Summer temperatures rarely reach the mid-20s C, while winters can leave the peat-over-clay soil saturated in winter, with temperatures only occasionally falling below zero.

Among the couple’s purchases at Glee are Johnsons seeds from the Mr Fothergill’s group and composts from Westland…but they were showing a keen interest at Glee today in the range of wool composts from Dalefoot (18K57).]

On Sunday, the couple board another RAF jet for the long journey home, broken only by a comfort break in the Ascension Isles, with the Falklands spring just around the corner.

Gardena has announced its latest system designed to control irrigation and robotic lawnmowers via a mobile phone or tablet and an internet router.

Part of a range of similarly-designed products, the innovative system features an intelligent Gardena smart Gateway, which communicates with the Gardena smart Sensor, the Gardena smart Water Control and the Gardena smart Sileno via a high-powered antenna. With the help of the free smart App for smartphones and tablets, connected devices can be controlled from anywhere and at any time: users can turn them on or off, check their status or change their configuration.

The smart Sensor produces live data, for example on soil moisture, outdoor temperature, and light intensity, making it easier for gardeners not only to plan when to mow or water their lawn, but to also adapt their routine to potential storms. The corresponding mobile app will be available free of charge for iOS and Android users, and will be continually updated with new features.

NEW watering solution for small gardens and roof terraces

Gardena have introduced hose and hose box in a new format for the simple and convenient irrigation of small gardens or on roof terraces.

The new Gardena Terrace Spiral Hose is a solution for the irrigation of mini-gardens and plants on balconies and terraces. The 7.5m hose retracts to ist original shape after use, for storage on a bracket integrated into the Standard Hose Connector, so it can be stowed neatly at the tap. It is available as a set with the original Gardena System Parts and Gun Nozzle. A set with the Gardena Watering Sprayer will also be available.

The new lightweight and compact Gardena Terrace Hose Box carries 10m of 11mm hose and has a fold-in carrying handle. Easily transported, it is equipped with a 1.5m connection fitting, the required original Gardena System Parts and a Gun Nozzle.

The new Gardena Adapter for Indoor Taps is ideal for users without outdoor taps.

NEW hand tools with improved ergonomics

Gardena has also introduced new Classic Hand Tools, new Comfort Hand Tools and new combisystem Hand Tools.

Hobby gardeners have placed their trust in The Gardena combisystem across more than 40 years. In order to make handling even more pleasant, Gardena has once again improved the ergonomics. Whether large or small tools, every handle is compatible with every tool, and is guaranteed to connect without wobbling. Gardena provides a 25-year warranty for these products.

A new ergonomically shaped combisystem handle, easily attached via a soft plastic screw, features soft plastic elements and a rounded handle end.

The new Gardena Classic Hand Tools and  Comfort Hand Tools both benefit from new, ergonomically shaped handles that lie perfectly in the hand, the former with angled handle ends to prevent slipping, and the latter with rounded handle ends that resist slipping, even when hands are damp. Both ranges have a Duroplast coating for a long life.

STV is uniquely focused on supply of pest control products to retail, with market-leading ranges covering all key categories backed up by unparalleled support, including shelf-planning and merchandising.

The company is are committed to ensuring that its retail partners get the best deals and its Key Stockist programme allows retailers to lock in to season-long pricing and boost their profit margins.

You can see the core ranges for key stockists on stand 1850L and discuss STV’s new margin escalator, which offers an incremental increase in profit margin for each core range of STV product stocked.

   

A stylish barbecue ideal for use on a balcony, patio or terrace has been launched by Cadac (17X25-Y26)…

The Citi Chef 50 has a cooking grid made from aluminium for perfect heating and coated in Greengrill ceramic for easy cleaning. Smart wood side tables clip on and off and can be stored inside the main cabinet while the side handles and four castor wheels mean it can be conveniently pushed into any small storage area.

The inside of the double-skin burner box is porcelain enamel coated for easy cleaning. All fat goes into a drip cup underneath the unit.

There are five optional cooking surfaces to choose from in addition to the standard easy-clean grid – a plancha, non-stick grill 2 braai, skottel, non-stick chef pan and enamel roast pan.

Fiskars (19G56) unveiled its new generation of PowerGear X cutting tools at Glee yesterday. The engineering and ergonomics have evolved to make pruning and lopping easier than ever.

The pioneering PowerGear mechanism trebles the cutting power, significantly reducing the effort needed to prune. With super sharp PFTE coated precision blades designed to slice through the toughest wood, the tools are weather-resistant, virtually unbreakable and feature a new comfortable soft grip handles. The robust shafts are made of aluminium to reduce weight and increase control.

Vibrant soft-grip orange handles make the tools easy to locate in even the most overgrown setting. With rivets replaced by bolts, maintenance is easy, increasing performance and longevity. The new ergonomics have resulted in a lightweight hedge shear with more balance and control than ever before.

The new PowerGear X range (which also includes re-designed secateurs)  will be available to retailers in January 2017.

Above: James Wong, keen cook as well as gardener, highlights the new Fiskars Functional Form kitchen range.

The rising impoprtance of cook shops in many destination garden centres influenced Fiskars’ decision to use Glee to launch their new Kitchen range yesterday.

 “We know that there are correlations between people who love cooking and those who enjoy time in the garden,” said Fiskars commercial director Richard Carr .  “We know our retail customers are expanding into complementary areas in their garden centres and DIY stores – from home interior accessories, pets, gifts and importantly into food. We know that our Fiskars garden tools are a well-known brand, already recognised and respected in the garden trade. It makes perfect sense to offer customers a brand they recognise, with the values they trust and appreciate.”

The Functional Form range includes kitchen utensils, pans and knives, all competitively priced, creating a comprehensive but compact offer for garden and DIY retailers.

Outdoor living is the new lifestyle choice and one of our exclusive range of gas powered ‘fire pits’ will allow you to make more use, in greater comfort, of your outdoor space. A new concept in patio heaters, designed in the USA to enhance the outdoor spaces in your home or garden with a uniquely designed piece of garden furniture that serves a practical purpose.

The Elementi range of gas ‘fire pits’, ‘fire bowls’ and ‘flaming tables’ are designed to complement a wide range of styles from contemporary to rustic and they will add to the appearance of any landscape, plus they provide warmth and the special visual attraction of ‘living’ flames. Although substantial these patio heaters (fire pits) are portable and can be moved to alternative locations/positions with relative ease.

All Elementi outdoor gas heaters are CE marked and supplied with a 6kg propane gas bottle cover that is made from GRC to match the material of the chosen Elementi portable ‘fire pit’. Additionally, a full weather cover is provided for the patio heater, together with full operating and maintenance instructions. 

The Elementi fire pit is very easy to operate with a single control knob similar to many gas appliances, simply push and twist the knob, holding it in until the ‘pilot’ is established before turning the knob further to ignite the main burner. The ignition is battery powered (single AAA battery supplied) which is easily accessible and will only require replacement very infrequently. Once lit, the flame and thus heat output is easily adjustable by turning the control knob to achieve the desired heat output and flame effect, turning the control fully clockwise will extinguish the flame.

There are many other designs in addition to those shown on this site, some of which are manufactured to order, so if you have your own ideas contact us to discuss how we can help.
